In the 10-plus years since “The Talk” premiered, there has been a revolving door when it comes to hosts. The musical chairs over the years have seen the departure of original hosts Sara Gilbert, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini, and Julie Chen (via Us Weekly). Sharon Osbourne is the final host from the show’s original lineup to exit stage left, and she didn’t go quietly. Amidst the controversy that erupted during a conversation about race with current co-host Sheryl Underwood, old controversies resurfaced as both Peete and Remini came forward and, as NBC News reports, accused the Osbourne family matriarch of using racially charged language in the past. “The X Factor UK” judge spoke on Real Time with Bill Maher about her departure and blamed “disgruntled ladies” and claimed it was about “knowing what is correct and woke for your language that day.” She went on to complain that “It changes from day to day what is correct.”
Once it became clear there would be yet another empty seat on the hit daytime show, attention turned to who would fill that slot, with some even speculating it may remain empty (via Do You Remember?). According to sources, it appears that not only will the slot be filled, but the change will also be a first for the long-running show’s familiar format (via E!).
