"For Christmas, he had a present for Jeffrey -- it was a game," she said. "And he said to Jeffrey, 'Can I marry your mom?' And Jeffrey's like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to play with my game!'

The talk show host/30 Rock actress also said he proposed in traditional fashion, saying, "...he got on one knee, and he said, 'Mrs. Shepherd, would you be my wife?' And I said 'yeah!'"

Shepherd said the pair were introduced by her pal Niecy Nash. She also said she would take her new husband's last name in her personal life, but that in her professional life, she would still be known as Sherri Shepherd.
