Members j swift Posted September 24, 2018 Members Share Posted September 24, 2018 A spurious article in the Daily News suggested that Rosie O'Donnell was being considered. I think Rosie has already proven that panel shows are not her strength, and I doubt anyone in that arena wants to work with her. So, if you were constrained to current CBS News or Cable News employees; who would you pick? I like Margaret Brennan from Face the Nation and I think Katie Couric would do well with a panel, (although it might be a bit of a downgrade for her). I saw Connie Chung on Andy Cohen's show recently and she doesn't seem to be quick enough for a multi-person discussion. I also think Dana Bash would be good, and I would like to see her not have to work with her ex. Let's preempt any responses based on not knowing any female network new talent, or age, because they are obviously going to choose a "name" from news who won't be too expensive and reads well from a prompter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted September 25, 2018 Members Share Posted September 25, 2018 No. I love her to death, and I really hope ABC picks up the DW reboot, too. But, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StepBack Posted September 25, 2018 Members Share Posted September 25, 2018 Sarah Gilbert will probably take over as anchor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted September 25, 2018 Members Share Posted September 25, 2018 It’ll probably go to one of their fill-ins like Carrie Ann Inaba or Carnie Wilson. I actually thought Valerie Bertinelli did a great job. It just doesn’t feel like a newsy show that needs a journalist to anchor it or lend it gravitas.

Members dragonflies Posted September 26, 2018 Members Share Posted September 26, 2018 I love LaLucci but IMO she would NOT be a good fit for the TALK. How about just have a celebrity guest fill in every day. Keep it to the main 4, let Sara anchor it(she did create the show after all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted September 27, 2018 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2018 I am not pleased by either Rosie or Carrie-Anne. I really want them to get someone a bit "newsier" to balance the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted September 27, 2018 Members Share Posted September 27, 2018 I don’t understand why producers would want a troublemaker and bully like Rosie on the show. They have solidified their place as the nicer, lighter alternative to The View, and Sharon fills the older, more combative role on the panel already. People don’t watch The Talk to see them getting into heated battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted September 27, 2018 Members Share Posted September 27, 2018 I don't see Rosie as a troublemaker. She's loud and outspoken. Might not be a fit for this show. Toss in the fact that she's a slob, and again, NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 25, 2018 Members Share Posted October 25, 2018 She was on once again today. I'd love to see her get the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
