Sheryl Underwood

SPECIAL EVENT

At the center of Underwood’s career is a producer’s eye and an entrepreneur’s instinct. Pack Rat Productions, Inc. is her multimedia production engine — the infrastructure behind a creative portfolio that spans broadcast television, national radio, live touring, and talent development. Her newest venture, Sheryl Underwood’s Great American Talent Search, is a national family-friendly competition that discovers and elevates everyday American performers — singers, dancers, musicians, poets — in cities across the country. Built from the ground up as a scalable corporate sponsorship platform with cash prizes and career opportunities, Sheryl Underwood’s Great American Talent Search launched its inaugural event at the Juneteenth Freedom Festival in Lake Charles, Louisiana (June 2026) and is positioned for national co-branded expansion. Her live podcast experience, Politics & Punchlines, tours alongside the I Need a Job! national comedy tour with Sheryl and Kyle Erby — a model that treats every city as a content studio and every audience as a community partner. Her radio infrastructure — Sheryl Underwood Radio, which reached 585 national affiliates, and her live podcast on AcceleratedRadio.Net — gives corporate and civic partners a proven, direct-to-community broadcast capability. She is the founder of Black Radio Solidarity, which organized national civic radiothons for voter engagement, HBCU fundraising, and public health campaigns.

Underwood’s creative authority is built on decades of earned credibility. She became the longest-running co-host of CBS’s The Talk, earning five Daytime Emmy Awards, seven total Emmy nominations, a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Daytime TV Hosting Team, and an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Talk Series. In March 2026, she returned to daytime as a guest co-host on ABC’s The View for a full week, and is set to headline Netflix Is A Joke Fest in Pasadena (May 2026). Her stand-up career — launched with a historic run as the first female finalist in the 1989 Miller Lite Comedy Search — has taken her from HBO’s Def Comedy Jam and BET’s ComicView to the main stage of the nation’s most watched comedy festival.
