Hey there, friends. Let me tell you something that’s breaking hearts all over the country. CBS has announced that The Talk, a show that's been a part of so many people's daily routines for 15 seasons, is officially coming to an end. It’s a big deal, and I’m sure you’ve got some feelings about it too.
Revolutionizing Daytime TV
In a heartfelt statement released on April 12, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach and CBS Studios President David Stapf reflected on the legacy of The Talk. They said, “When The Talk launched 14 years ago, it did something pretty special—it brought daytime talk back to CBS in a fresh, award-winning format. It wasn’t just another show; it was groundbreaking.”
The Amazing Panel of Hosts
Let’s talk about the folks who’ve kept the show alive all these years. Right now, the hosting panel includes Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell, and Sheryl Underwood.

As CBS mentioned in their statement, “The Talk has been a cornerstone of CBS’ highly-rated daytime lineup, bringing timely, important, and entertaining topics into living rooms all over the world. Hosting and producing a year-round talk show is no small feat, and we can’t thank our incredible hosts enough—Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell, and Sheryl Underwood—for everything they’ve done.”
Evolution of the Show
The Talk first hit the airwaves back in 2010, and it’s come a long way since then. Over the years, we’ve seen a rotating lineup of hosts that includes Julie Chen Moonves, Leah Remini, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Marie Osmond, among others. Each of them brought something special to the table, and their contributions have helped shape the show into what it is today.
In their final statement, CBS expressed gratitude to the past hosts and everyone involved in the show’s journey. They said, “We’re incredibly thankful to all our former hosts for their contributions over the years. Their skill, creativity, and dedication have been invaluable. And, of course, we’re grateful to the countless guests who’ve appeared on the show and the millions of viewers who’ve tuned in daily.”
But the story doesn’t end here. CBS plans to celebrate the show’s legacy with a grand finale season, giving it the send-off it truly deserves. As the statement concluded, “For the final season, we’re planning a celebration of everything The Talk has meant to so many people. We’ll be wrapping things up in December 2024 with a proper farewell.”
It’s no surprise that fans are feeling the loss. Social media has been buzzing with messages of sadness and nostalgia. “I love the show and I’ll miss it so much, especially Jerry—he’s hilarious!” one fan commented on The Talk’s Instagram page.
“Finally, a show I truly enjoyed, and now it’s being canceled?!” another fan lamented, with many others echoing similar sentiments.
