The Talk is ending its time on CBS. The network has cancelled the daytime talk show, but viewers will see more of the series before it ends. The series has been renewed for a shortened 15th season which will debut next fall. The series finale will air in December.
The daytime series was developed by actress and former co-host Sara Gilbert. Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Jerry O’Connell, Natalie Morales, and Sheryl Underwood are the show’s current hosts. Past co-hosts have included Julie Chen Moonves, Sharon Osbourne, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Leah Remini, Holly Robinson Peete, Aisha Tyler, Eve, Carrie Ann Inaba, Marie Osmond, and Elaine Welteroth.
In a joint statement, CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach and CBS Studios president David Stapf said:
The Talk broke new ground when it launched 14 years ago by returning daytime talk to CBS with a refreshing and award-winning format. Throughout the years, it has been a key program on CBS’ top rated daytime line-up as it brought timely, important and entertaining topics and discussions into living rooms around the globe.
It goes without saying that hosting and producing a year-round talk show is no easy task, and we express our sincere gratitude to our amazing hosts Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood, our executive producer/showrunner Rob Crabbe and the hardworking producing team and crew.
We also want to acknowledge our former show hosts and colleagues who contributed throughout the seasons. We truly appreciate the skill, creativity, and dedication everyone involved brought to the show every day. And of course, we thank the numerous guests who appeared, and the millions of viewers who tuned in daily.
For the final season, we plan to celebrate the show and give it the proper sendoff it deserves when it concludes in December 2024.
The series will likely be replaced by a new daytime drama, The Gates, with a mainly Black cast. Interestingly, when The Talk debuted in 2010, it replaced the As the World Turns soap opera after a 54 year run.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Talk? Will you be sad to see it end later this year?
Glad it got cancelled!
And good riddance to it! This show hasn’t been the same since Julie left, then they got rid of the table and even worse when Sharon was fired. It’s been unwatchable since they brought in the guys and the show became The Talk in name only. This show was daily viewing in my household from seasons 1 through 10. The show’s best years were with Julie, Sharon, Sheryl, Sara and Aisha. It won’t even get a proper sendoff as the only former first likely to return at all is Sara.
GOOD!
How could you CBS?? It’s my top favorite talk show for 5 years now & watched it since Sara left & very upset. Please keep this show & Jerry always brings a smile to my face everyday too. And whatever is gonna replace it, I’m not watching it ever & really sorry viewers.
Good. Ever since Sheryl took over it has sucked.
I stopped watching this show a looong time ago when Sharon Osbourne left .
I’m Soo glad it got cancelled!!!
I hate to see it go, I like the show.
Why not replace the view with the black soap opera? It will be a hit on that channel. Makes more sense.
I think The View is a great show also besides The Talk. And The View is the number 1 high rating talk show right now if you didn’t know that. I don’t think a new soap opera is a good idea at all but in my opinion I think it should be on NBC because it’s the only major network without a soap since Days of Our Lives went to Peacock streaming
