- Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop touched millions of lives from 1957 to 1998 while airing across NBC, CBS, and PBS networks. The show came to an end when founder and creator Shari Lewis died in 1998 from uterine cancer. "When mom died, I got a lot of letters from people saying, I'm so sorry mom passed. Is Lamb Chop dead too?" said Mallory Lewis, Shari's daughter. LX News Storyteller Cody Broadway searches for the iconic puppet and uncovers a story about the undying power of childhood magic.

So beautiful to see her carrying on her mother’s legacy. Lamb chop was part of my childhood. This made me cry. I am sure her mother would be so proud of her daughter. ❤️
Definitely amazing 😢born 1987 👍🏿 those are the gory days
Facts same here. I would love to see a new show with Lamb chop. The daughter plays her so well. My daughter would love this.
lamb chop has been part of my childhood too😊
I was born in 1989 and I watched Lamb Chop as a kid. Your mother brought me a lot of happiness. I’ll always have wonderful memories and lots of love for her. I’m so happy to see Lamb Chop alive and well. Thank you for giving Lamb Chop a second chance at life.
Same here I was also born in 1989 and I grew up watching Lamb Chop she was one of my favorite puppets along with Charlie horse and hush puppy and that's definitely one show I could never get tired of I catch my self watching it once a while on RUclips
I’m a 36 now and found this after randomly singing the song in my head…. I just want to say thank you 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 . This song will NEVER END. And generations after will keep on singing on 🐑🐑🐑🐑
Yeh I was born in '88. I feel you on this.
Also born 89, this was great for my childhood, just golden
I watched the syndicated episode, I watched some of her shows after her death mostly late 90’s early 2000’s but I was too young to remember the late 90’s but I remember the song that never ends for every episode that came on. I will be born in 1999
I’d love to learn more about Shari, maybe they’ll do a documentary or something. People don’t talk about her enough
Well, there is one coming sometime next year from White Horse Pictures and MoJo Global Arts. I think that’s what I heard.
I hope they do something like they did Mr. Rogers
This made me cry.I love how they cut the video to play mom/daughter as Lamb Chop.I am 36 years old now and I grew up watching Lamp Chop.I was so proud when I got my own Lamb Chop puppet!I carried her with me everywhere.Played n the mud with her.Took her to Georgia with me on summer vacations.She was my "security blanket."I lost her somewhere in a move n my twenties.I am SO happy to see Shari's lovely daughter Mallory allow her mother's & Lamb Chop's legacy to live on!!God bless!
68 y.o.. Made me cry too.
35. Definitely 😢
We the same age having the same vibe
33 and I love me some Lamb Chops! It makes my soul smile and when I have a child, I am going to introduce him/her to Lamb Chops and Shari
I grew up to lamb chop too I use to think the puppet actually talk she was that awesome
I literally started crying. My inner child wanted to go up and hug her. I thought since Shari passed on I’d never see Lamp Chop again. Thank you Mallory ❤ I’m certain your mother is beyond proud of you to carry her legacy and taking care of her baby girl. ❤❤❤❤
You just don't understand the happy tears I'm shedding seeing this. As someone who has learned their own cheekiness from a little lamb, it's magic to see her live again.
😭 me too brother !
:::big hug :::
The husband leaving Shari to pass on alone made my jaw drop and heart break. The daughter seems to still be in distress over the deed.
If I was married and had all the love in the world to give, I would stay with my dying wife until she was confirmed.
@@Floymin agreed, friend, agreed!
How cold of him... she should have been surrounded by love at the end... she spread so much. He probably felt like he was in her shadow. I would like to think the medical staff was there for her
Sounds horrible and Mallory has every right to be disgusted and upset, but I wonder if it was more so a grave miscalculation her father. Men have weird ways of dealing with emotions and stress. We try to hide it (terribly) (the football game). Likely didn't want to risk a miscarriage of his only grandchild, and didn't want to watch his wife die. Still inexcusable he should have talked to his daughter first.
@@mysecondemailatl that’s an incredibly generous interpretation of two fundamentally horrific decisions. No one wants to experience terrible emotions, but it’s weird how one particular gender uses their gender as an excuse to do the most abominable, psychopathic things to their wives and daughters.
Oh my god!!..Seeing lamb Chop talk again made me tear up!!..This is a song that will NEVER end!!
I'm still not a mom but am 34 and grew up with Lamb Chop while being raised in California not to many years before arriving from Mexico. I can't stop crying this is so beautiful. I still have my Lamb Chop blanket. Times were so different then, then they are now. Such beautiful ladies bringing Lamb Chop always to life. Never knew Shari passed away so soon and from terminal cancer. Heaven hugs you tight. 🌷🙏🏼❤️
Mallory really nails the voice. So glad she's carrying on her mother's work.
What your mother did for my whole generation your mother made it a bit easier to be a child back then
I’m crying my eyes out over this. I’m 30 and so much has changed but Lamb Chop hasn’t and I love that.
The way my heart melted and my eyes started tearing at the same time seeing Mallory do the voice. My God. What a way to honor your mama's legacy. 💖
A very nice tribute and glad Mallory is carrying on her Mom's legacy. I have fond memories of watching the show with my kids (now 28 and 32). Best wishes to Mallory and Lamp Chop.
I was obsessed with Lamb Chop as a child!! She’s an icon
Sheri Lewis was the person who inspired me as a child to want to get into voice acting. She was an amazing person, ventriloquist and comedian. God bless her soul.
"Well, that was a little while ago"
"You're damn right, it was."
"Lamb Chop!"
😂😂😂
You're the best daughter a Mother could have. I actually think you bring a special sound into her voice. Sweet Lady, you make Lamb Chop touch my heart with tears! I bought three Lamb Chops at CVS stores and "shared" one yesterday. Gave her to a homeless woman who said, "This made my day!" And we played Lamb Chop back and forth together. No way should your mother die! My mom passed and I still suffer from it. I comfort myself with Lamb Chop. She's alive with me! She is! It's a miracle! I miss your Mom already ❤
it's so wonderful seeing shari's daughter carrying on her legacy with adorable lamb chop it was such a cute show loved watching it :)
If this is as close to a Lamb Chop documentary that we get, then I guess so be it.
However I would like to see one day a full-length feature documentary that covers Shari Lewis’ entire life story, with new and perhaps any existing interviews they can gather and any never before seen footage of Shari that the archives may still have (be it B-roll or whatever). No one knows how much of Shari’s work is lost as of yet (well, other than the color masters for NBC’s The Shari Lewis Show) so hopefully the most notable ones (like Lamb Chop’s Play Along after Season 2?) haven’t disappeared. I know projects such as this cost a lot and take time to put together which is understandable, but like I said it’s something I would like to see one day.
Anyway, it was great to see Mallory and Lamb Chop again. Much love to them and whatever they do. 😊
Like, give Shari the _Won’t You Be My Neighbor?_ treatment! I’d love to go see a feature-length documentary on Shari in theaters!
I saw a program about her a while back. Check out the show "Biography." I think they were the ones who produced it.
@@thejerseyj5479 I’ve seen it. That program was around the time she was still alive. Like 1994-95?
I love Sherry Lewis. I love Lamb chop. I love that Mallory Lewis is continuing Lamb chop. If I don't stop this comment this will be the comment that doesn't end.
This made me cry too. I adored Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop plus the other puppets. My mom got me Lamb Chop and Hush Puppy puppets one year for Christmas. I feel so blessed to have grown up in an era with wonderful children show hosts and not just cartoons and video games. Bring back children’s shows with talented hosts for kids today!!! God bless you Mallory for letting us see videos of your beautiful mom and for letting Lamb Chop live on. You are a wonderful talent yourself and give so much love and life to her. God bless. PS I am so annoyed that I didn’t know about the puppet show in August as I live in New York City! So sorry I missed it!
Let me just say till this day I have my lamp chop play along vhs tape and I’m 33. Sherri was so impactful to me growing up, I had my own lamb chop puppet and would watch the vhs tape daily to try and perfect lamb chops voice. The day I heard Sherri passed away I cried and just felt I lost someone close to me. I will definitely be growing up my kids on lamp chop to keep Sherri’s memory alive. She was truly a gift! And I’m glad her daughter keeps it going.

Shari certainly took the first rule of ventriloquism to heart: Your partner is always the act. The spotlight should never be on you.
A lot of ventriloquists should know that
My wife and I were just singing the song that doesn't end and we wound up here. I'm glad we did 💚✌️
Btw... We are 41yo and she's still making us smile.
This is so beautiful. Shari was such a beautiful woman inside and out! Lamb chop, Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy shaped my childhood. It's wonderful to see Mallory continuing her mommy's legacy.
Wow this has brought me to find tears. I'm 64 years young and remember Sherri Lewis/ Lamb Chop Show. It's great that I am able to go back in time and also share this with my grandkids and other family members. Thank you so much Mallory
68. Me too.
Mallory is so sweet to carry on her mother's legacy.
My grandmother raised me from birth and when she introduced me to Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop, they became a big part of my life as a kid, a teenager and even now in my 30's. Shari was like an aunt to me, even though we never met. She was a part of my family. Even now after watching this, I still cry for her passing. I was inspired to learn Ventriloquism after seeing her shows. She is a treasure in many hearts and is powerfully missed. Thank you, Mallory, for keeping Lamb Chop alive for the world.
I’m not crying... just cutting onions over here
Many decades ago I had a plush stuffed lamb that I had named "Lamb Chop" after Shari's puppet - my favorite.
She went with me to overnight Girl Scott camp in 6th grade and to my dorm room my freshman year in college to ward off homesickness.
Mallory, thank you for bringing her back. Your skill is amazing!
This is so emotional ❤️. I just gifted another lambchop
my sister. It’s so nice to see Ms. Mallory & Lamchop! Amazing you sound alike your Mama❤️
Malory will be Shari's age in 6 years when she died.
If Lamp Chop never ends, make sure you name a quality successor, don't end up like George Lucas
“Shari was my mother” - lamb chop.
That made me cry
Wow, that story about her dad is kind of messed up
I’m 36 years old I just seen a Lambchop doll in Walmart I started singing in my head so I bought her 😍 now I’m debating if I give it to my kids or not 🤷🏽♂️ or do I keep her all for myself🤦🏾♂️ I think I’ll introduce them to the song that never ends😂
Wow I used to watch the show when I was a little kid I'm glad that Shari's daughter Mallory is continuing the legacy, Mallory looks just like her mom. She's doing a good job voicing Lamb chop,I was born 7-5-86 so I would watch the show when I was 5 all the way up to 12 years old- Jake from Texas
I got to know of Lamb Chop and Shari from the episode of The Nanny which I watched just yesterday. I read about her and was sad to learn she had passed. She's awesome. May she rest in peace 🕊️
Wow I had no idea they were on The Nanny. :o
@@munchocrisps they appeared in Season 2 episode 20
@@munchocrisps ruclips.net/video/LMcKfO1wZfo/видео.html
I am in my thirties and today my husband bought me a Lamb Chop doll. I've wanted one since I was a LITTLE girl. You bet your sweet butt I'm singing the song that doesn't end all night 😂
What a beautiful interview - genuine funny touching - so loving - thank you Mallory for keeping it all alive - I miss those days but now you brought it back to life
This is my grandson’s phone.
I googled Lambchop to learn the voice.
I have our first great granddaughter, & brought out her Grandmother’s Lambchop.
(My daughter)
My daughter had so many health issues growing up, & 🐑 got her through it.
I was really good with the voice back then.
is it odd to say that Mallory looks a lot like her late mother?
Not at all... She certainly does!
There are not enough words how great Shari Lewis was with her beloved Lamb Chop and other puppets. Great entertainment for kids And adults!
My daughter and son start homeschool mornings with Sheri and Lamb Chop. It’s great I be able to share this joy from my childhood with them.
Watch it… Touching and reminded me of growing up in the 70’s…. 😢 really
This show always made you feel great no matter what you felt sad 😞 on.
Grew up watching this show and loving it along with Gumby adventures ect
I knew Shari and Lamb Chop as a kid in the 60's. I loved your mom and Lamb Chop
This video deserves more views and likes.
Anyone else look up Lamb Chop after seeing her mentioned on Last Week Tonight? This is a part of my childhood that I completely forgot about until John ignited that nostalgic memory.
My mom used to watch Lamb Chop on the Shari Lewis Show when she was growing up in the 60s. Then Lamb Chop came full circle with me watching Lamb Chop's Play-Along and the Charlie Horse Music Pizza in the 90s. I wanted a Lamb Chop doll when I was little.
Just meet her today in NYC @ the puppet Fringe show. Mallory is real doll 😍. Great show
I grew up watching Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop and was crushed when I found out that Shari had died. I think it’s amazing that Mallory has carried on her mother’s legacy. I can’t even imagine how much skill is involved in not only being a ventriloquist but also to live up to a master ventriloquist, which Mallory absolutely does! It’s just uncanny.
She sounds like her mom!
Doesn't she.
PLEASE FOR HEAVEN SAKE PLEASE Mallory revamp Lamb Chops so our children can enjoy you both too!!!!!! I’m crying because I miss lamb chops and the gang so much And we ALL would be super excited if you did your own show with the whole crew and revamped it for today’s new generation. We love you and your family! Looking forward to hopefully seeing YOU and Lambchops together in the future!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I miss that show. It makes me want to be a kid again. I watched every day it was on. I never missed an episode.
Shari and Lambchop were absolutely brilliant.
I am 28 and I know who Lamb Chop is. This video made me cry
I am such a fan! I got tearful too. Anytime I find her, I buy her. She is a chew toy of up to 4 Different sizes and now with other colored feetsees… at Animal stores/section. I wish I could but other Merch.
I am crying right now. I love Lamb chop. And I was also so sad when her Mom passed
This has made my day, I grew up with lamb chop!
Omg 😳 😢 I remembered watching this show, on PBS Kids! And I loved it! I think I’m going to go back down, memory lane and rewatch all of my childhood shows on prime video. From Clifford, dragon tales, Arthur, zoom isn’t on there. And everyone’s most favorite, Barney!!
I had loved Lamb Chop so much that my family nicknamed me SamChop when I was a child and still call me that to this day. Such wonderful memories watching Sheri in action
At 38 years old I'm still on a mission getting the puppets of Lambchop and the mysterious Charlie Horse! I have the puppet of Hush Puppy! Watching this video gave me the chills I got Lambchop for a Christmas present not sure if she's sweaky or hush puppy thinks she's a dog toy lol!🤣😊😱 Been a fan of Lamb Chop since I was little probably the last time I haven't seen her was when I was almost ten!, I've always wondered what happened either I'm old or new generation! To this day Im a huge fan and glad to meet the daughter of Shari with an a A on this video! Keep the vibe goin you are the best! Mom will always be in my heart as with and your family and the lambs around the world! Much love ,Heidi🦋😁🌷💕🌈🥰😊😊
When I was a kid, I vaguely remember in the early 70s in the UK, watching Ms. Lewis and Lamb Chop. I was entranced with both of them, but I have say it was Lamb Chop mostly, whom I adored. ❤
Oh, no, my eyes are leaking!
What’s funny is that I am almost forty but I think of Lamb Chop and Shari regularly. Especially when they were on the Nanny.
I loved Lamb Chop as a toddler. I honestly am sad that PBS never thought of doing a revival of Lamb Chop but with Mallory at the helm.
Lamb Chop is back 🐑 Yeah… Counting sheep 🐑…. Zzzz 😴 💤 awe 😢
I'm 34 now...this brings back so many flooding memories of being in the den with my cousins laying on a corduroy couch playing hungry hungry hippos ...it reminds me of innocent stress free times..I truly believe that if this was apart of your childhood then you were the last of the children that experienced the most magical of times
That was cold how her husband did her. Didn’t want to be with her while she was dying because it would’ve taken too long. Jeez.
I hope the lamb chop tv series will happen and will have children seeing mallory lewis,lamb chop,charlie horse,hush puppy and the rest of the puppet characters from the shari show being puppeteered by other puppeteers
My daughter bought my son a Lamb Chop at a garage sale for 25 cents in 1993. He never let it go. ❤ He still has it. Today when I read a Lamb Chop book to my grandson, we have to get Lamb Chop out to sit on the couch with us. 🌸
I miss lamb chop I always ❤ lamb chop I use love watching this as kid
There needs to be a new lambchop series for kids and Shari biopic
No. They're not ruining lambchop. I don't need a queer trans bipoc lambchop with pronouns.
Hush Puppy? Charlie Horse? Are they still alive too? 🙏🏾
Awe you are awesome 😊I loved being little and watching Lamb Chop!!
RIP Shari Lewis.
I am sorry your father handled that very unusually.
But I am sure she passed, knowing how you loved her and all of America!
God bless you w
She is a great ventriloquist and has Lamb Chop down pat.
So happy that you have kept Lambchop alive. My children just found out about your mom and are amazed to see her performances.
I haven't seen Lamp Chop in over 20 years.
I hope she'll come back on TV along with Hush Puppy and Charlie Horse, even though Shari Lewis is gone but not forgotten.
I miss them a lot.
Omg 1 my fav shows growing! Up! Im 37 now😊
I like how Mallory is the opposite of Candice Bergen where Candice despised being referred to as “Charlie McCarthy’s Little Sister” and hated how Charlie got his own bedroom that was bigger than hers, Mallory embraces the legacy of Lambchop with love. Granted Candice is entitled to feel bitter about her father’s most famous puppet and who could blame her for it?
I see Lambchop every time I visit my local CVS and walk through the section with dog leashes and toys.
Lamb Chop was my 2nd favorite stuffed animal growing up. I watched the show as often as I could (even though it drove my parents crazy 😂)
I never thought I would see her after Sherri's death. She was such a a part of my childhood. Thank you for keeping her alive.
I grew up with Lamb Chop and friends, and now that I'm a mother.. I would be so happy for them to have her touch their hearts too.. please revive the show! Also, DAMN was Sheri ever gorgeous! Holy COW!!!!
I was born in 87. I grew up on Lamb Chop. My 6 week old daughters lullaby is "this is the song that never ends".
love your lambchop mallory have you been asked to do a new version of the show for tv
This generation could use lamb chop
I see so much of her Mom in her nowadays. Nice to see both of them carrying on her legacy!
I loved Shari and Lambchop. They were like my family. I'm crying.
Thanks Mallory.
Remembered getting detention in 5th grade for singing the "This is the song that doesn't end" song in class.
😂🥹 I was only 4 years old but I remember that song
i still watch the lambchop Chanukah and Passover specials every year, im 16 but i will keep watching them till im old and gray.
She sounds a TON like Sherri now
Loyal daughter...thank you...thank your precious mother...and thank Lambchop and her sweet friends...you make being a child fun and being an adult bearable...🥰
More loyal than her dad...
Wow a football game was more important
I’m 70! I watched Shari & Lamb Chop growing up!
Thank you, Malory!
God bless you
She named her daughter mallory before it was cool. (80s)
Lol this got me teary eyed lol #memories
I LOVED your mom, Mallory. I cannot think of any other performer who warmed my heart and gave so much of herself. I felt so much love from her and lamb chop. They are indelibly etched in my memory and my heart, Love to you and them.
I loved this show as a kid. I did not know that Shari dies of cancer. You are right. This was at a more perfect time of my life that I never want to forget. I still sing "the song that never ends" to my children. I am sorry for your loss. I am also hoping your father became a better man.
