Watch Sara’s breaking news below. Then let us know, will you miss her on The Talk? What do you think of her decision to go? Her departure follows Julie Chen’s who stepped down following her husband Les Moonves’ scandal with CBS.
I will miss seeing Sara everyday
It is strange when you work from home, certain shows draw you in sometimes just by being background noise. The one thing I like about this show is that it is a group of mown who are not angry, but always being supportive of each other. Other formatted shows could learn from their example. I was not happy that CBS tool “As the World Turns” off for this show, but the show proved itself as being a great help to people who need to hear that they are not alone, whether you are male or female, gay or straight, black, white or Asian.
I think Sara has done a great job as a moderator since Julie Chen left the show. There have many guest panelists that would be a great fit to take her place, most recently, Marie Osmond. I ma not sure a daily dose of Carnie Wilson would be a great thing for the show. But whomever is chosen, best of luck to them and the show.
this show, has now, truly lost it’s intelligence quotient : w/ Julie -AND- Sara GONE.
kiss the rest goodbye… WHICH leaves me giddy with anticipation that the show tanks at the behest of Mrs. Ozzy Osborne who’s STAR Pull has lapsed dipped and should fade after this
Hi Patrick..
I know very little of daytime tv, never have watched it..
I watach my 2 soaps, via the internet, usually, after midnight, so not daytime watching lol..
but-
I’ve seen those wacko ladies in links about this or that- they are LOUD Dingbats / can’t believe people actually watch that crapola.
And- the Conners, whoa it’s horrible!!

Almost the best news I’ve heard,,,I can’t stand Sara Gilbert. Every since the Rosanne situation,,,I’ve been DONE with this show because of Sara. Sharon Osborne is the heart of the show
Sad to see you go Sara!! Thank You for all your hard work! Best of luck to you..xxxxxooooo
A big reason these panel talk shows work is the chemistry between the different members- the show hit on its winning combo season 2, with Sara, Sharon, Julie, Sheryl and Alisha–as each of these ladies leave, the show will follow in the View’s footstep and never really recover the magic that made it a success in first place.
I began watching The Talk because of Sara Gilbert and stuck with it because of Sara. She’s witty, thoughtful, and rational. I adore her! The past several months she has shown a different level of comfort which will only make me miss her all the more. I like most of the current group, but Sara is the reason I watch so I’m not sure I’ll stick with the show. While Sharon makes me laugh, it was the balance of Sara’s comments that made Sharons outrageous remarks work. I like Eve, and Carrie has been a great addition, but they don’t draw me in the way that Sara does. A rotating guest host might be best for awhile? I always like when Carnie Wilson is there, but more as a fill in or perhaps a replacement for Sheryl. Count me out if Marie Osmond is selected. I need someone who is much more authentic. (Which is why I was never a Julie Chen fan.) I don’t have the replacement solution, but authenticity is imperative.
When did Sara Gilbert become the Talk’s creator?!!!
