Just one year after the popular comedian and actor left the daytime talk show when she and ABC could not come to an agreement over the details of her new contract, it is being reported that Shepherd will be back for the start of the new season in September. Fans have been wishing the show would return to it’s roots, and this is a step in the right direction.

Shepherd will be leading a group of six or so contributors that will reportedly include Stacey London and Molly Sims. While it isn’t the same as co-hosting, it will be great to see her back on the air.
