The “Sherri” show is mourning the loss of one of its top execs amid a financial investigation at the show.
Matt Uzzle, the executive-in-charge of Sherri Shepherd’s eponymous daytime talk show, was found dead in his Piermont, N.Y., home on Feb. 13, a police source confirmed to Page Six.
Police would not comment further as it is “an open investigation,” but Uzzle is believed to have died of an apparent suicide, according to sources.
Uzzle — whose primary job was to manage production, and oversee the budget at “Sherri” — was under investigation at the show at the time of his tragic death, Page Six has learned.
Sources told us several departments had been complaining about issues with petty cash, and it was recently brought to parent company Debmar-Mercury’s attention that rent at the show’s Chelsea, NYC, studio had not been paid since September.
