Sheryl Underwood is one of the beloved comedians and television hosts, but behind her funny facade lies a traumatic past. In 1990, she lost her late husband, which became a subject of jokes during the Netflix special «Kevin Hart’s Laugh at My Pain» in May 2026.
Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe joked about Sheryl’s late husband, sparking widespread public outrage online. He said, «Her husband committed suicide three years after their wedding. I’ve been sitting next to her for two hours and I have to ask: how did he last that long?»
Host Shane Gillis also commented on Sheryl’s tragedy, joking, «Sheryl's husband committed suicide. Apparently, black people really do break if they’re married to Sheryl and jump off a damn roof».
«The Golden State Warriors logo is a bridge. Don’t show this to Sheryl’s husband», - Shane joked. «Seriously, keep that bridge away from Sheryl’s husband».
Fortunately, despite all the jokes, Sheryl was seen laughing in her seat, and Shane even said, «I called her yesterday. Shut up. I was so embarrassed about that. I should have called her. She was thrilled about it. She said, 'Are you going to laugh at my husband who fell off a bridge?' I said, 'Yes.'»
Below is the story of what happened to Sheryl’s late husband, Michael.
Sheryl is not married and is currently not in a serious relationship. However, she is modestly exploring the dating world.
Sheryl has never confirmed her late husband’s full name. It is only known that his name was Michael and that he worked as a chef.
According to People, Sheryl and her husband faced difficulties while he struggled with depression. They were married from 1987 until his death in August 1990.
Sheryl’s husband committed suicide in August 1990. She recalled that day during an interview with People in 2016, noting that she «will never forget him».
«I made him a German chocolate cake that morning and said, 'Drop the bills in the mailbox, and I’ll see you when you get home,'» Sheryl recounted. «It's the most painful thing in the world because he won’t be coming back».
Despite the pain and grief she experienced, Sheryl said at the time that she was content with her life and that her experience «made her stronger».
«Everything I’ve been through has made me stronger», - she added. «You may never forget it, but when you remember, you have to do better for the next person. I wouldn’t change anything in my life because I’ve learned so much about myself».
