Wow, now there's really no reason for me to watch

 

 

I sure didn't see that coming! Sharon was completely overcome with emotion as well. Maybe Carnie Wilson will finally get the regular co-host gig when Sara leaves at the end of the season.

 

 

Unadventurous but perfectly fine choice. Someone with Sara’s dry wit and intellectual firepower would have been better, though.

Agreed. Sara's deadpan wit and good-natured jabs at Sharon will be missed. But I do like Marie, and she does have talk show experience. We'll see how it all turns out.

Eve is leaving the Talk in December.

Time to end The Talk. They can't keep co-hosts LOL. What is this The View?  

I know that they’ve been testing out a bunch of different guest hosts (Rumer Willis, Amanda Kloots, who is Nick Cordero’s widow).

The show has been a train wreck. They cancelled ATWT for this?

Right?

 

I don't really understand the appeal at all.

 

Obviously paying five hosts is cheaper than a soap but we didn't need this show. And it went so far away from what Gilbert had originally envisioned it to be.

 

I wish they'd cancel it. 

It was always about the money.

This show set itself up as the anti-View (a stupid move that only hamstrung future possibilities) which only worked until the veneer of feminine solidarity was stripped away by Julie Chen's husband's scandals.

Sure, the show was able to give off the appearance of resilience in her absence, then when the novelty of a new and improved show wore off, the show limped along for awhile. The funny thing about a "substance-free" talk show is that, when people are home, isolated, they may actually look for substance in a talk show--they can get cat videos and makeup tutorials YouTube. They can get gossip on vlogs or podcasts.

People still want connection, particularly when they access a program through the old-fashioned way, on terrestrial broadcast TV.  The Talk obviously could not build that lasting connection.
