Sheryl -- who's got her own gig going at "The Talk" -- started to explain why Sherri's background as a standup comic helped prepare her for the the blood-letting at ABC ... and then thought twice of making the comment.
You gotta see her try to back out -- funny stuff ... though she eventually saves it with a Jay Z lyric.
