Sharon Osbourne is OUT at ‘The Talk’
There will no longer be the last remaining member of the original cast of The Talk at the table, or anywhere else on the set for that matter.
After all the controversial remarks defending her good friend, Piers Morgan, and the heated exchange with friend and co-host, Sheryl Underwood, and then allegations that came to light from former co-hosts, Sharon Osbourne is exiting the CBS afternoon talk show.
The news comes two weeks after the March 10th episode of The Talk, which ignited the controversial situation.
In a statement, late Friday afternoon, CBS said, “Sharon Osbourne has decided to leave The Talk. The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home. As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace. We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts. At the same time, we acknowledge the network and studio teams, as well as the showrunners, are accountable for what happened during that broadcast as it was clear the co-hosts were not properly prepared by the staff for a complex and sensitive discussion involving race. During this week’s hiatus, we are coordinating workshops, listening sessions and training about equity, inclusion and cultural awareness for the hosts, producers and crew. Going forward, we are identifying plans to enhance the producing staff and producing procedures to better serve the hosts, the production and, ultimately, our viewers.”
All of this was sparked by Piers Morgan being outraged over comments made by Meghan Markle in the highly-anticipated and widely-viewed interview with Oprah Winfrey, where the former Good Morning Britain host, called Markle a liar about her comments that there was racist behavior within the royal family. Morgan then walked off the morning show and seemingly quit. Osbourne defended him on The Talk to Underwood.
Things took an ugly turn when Sharon demanded of Sheryl to explain to her why Morgan was being called a racist. Osbourne said, “Educate me, tell me when you have heard him say racist things. I very much feel like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend, who many people think is a racist, so that makes me a racist?” She also became demeaning to Underwood when Sheryl began to cry.
Osbourne later apologized, but things spiraled further downward when Holly Robinson Peete and Leah Ramini, two of Osbourne’s former co-hosts, came forward saying she used racist comments against them as well as former host, Julie Chen, and former executive producer and host, Sara Gilbert.
Later, Sharon tried to do damage control to her reputation by granting interviews to Entertainment Tonight and Variety citing and claiming that she had been “set up” by the producers and was offered up as a “sacrificial lamb”, which ultimately must have backfired on her.
As to the look of the women of The Talk moving forward … all we know is that for now it will include: Underwood, Carrie Ann Inaba, Amanda Kloots and Elaine Welteroth.
Will there be a new fifth member? No one is certain. The show will return with original episodes starting Monday, April 12th.
So, what do you think about Osbourne exiting The Talk? Right move for everyone? Should the show continue? Should they get another female for their panel? Comment below.
Bye Felicia.

Good one, couldn’t have said it better.She still has a lot of money to fill her big mouth.
Bring soaps back to these daytime time slots. 🙂
That would be a dream come true-
Only one huge problem, $$$
The networks struggle money-wise to
keep the 3 going onward..
But- if fans would support bringing the
retired soaps back by contributing $4,00 a month,
that would help. 🙂
Who in this Covid period has the money to donate every month for what you suggest?
agree.
LOL…
And prince Harry who sat next to precious Meghan during the Oprah interview, his latest venture is battling “fake news”? Really?
Gotta wish Sharon well, it’s not like I watched the talk all that much but now that she’s gone, what’s left could turn anyone’s brain into jello.
You’re not cancelled Sharon! The TALK is!
Expressing ones anger is as vulnerable as crying because you can’t answer a simple question because your ashamed to admit you’re wrong. It’s amazing how often that scenario is attributed to racism when it’s a public display.
Decency and sensitivity are products of mental health, political correctness is a product of society, unfortunately these days society is mentally ill. I find it increasingly more easy to just stop watching TV these days.
I know this is unlikely but…………… I’d love to see Doug Davidson fill the now empty seat on the Talk. The show has always been a female “gabfest” but might benefit from having a man at the table. The CBS daytime audience knows and has liked Davidson for years.
The treatment (or, more specific, lack of treatment) Davidson has gotten at Y&R over the past 3-4 years has been a crime. Davidson recently announced he was “done” with Y&R over Paul being ignored. I hope Davidson sticks with the “done” comment. He deserves better than what this 40-year Y&R veteran has been getting.
Respectful workplace? So CBS felt the need to investigate Sharon’s opinion? Someone needs to cancel CBS and that dismal show with only 1.5 M viewers! Sharon should be happy to leave! Bring back the soaps please and end this ridiculous cancel culture on free speech and someone’s opinion.
Bring back soaps. Would love to see a modern day reboot of Dark Shadows and doesn’t everyone think MIchael Easton would make a great Barnabas Collins?

‘The Price is Right’ Contestant Wins Largest Prize in a Single Pricing Game in the 54-Year history of the Daytime Game Show on CBS
On the Friday, May 8 Mother’s Day episode of The Price is Right, a retired veteran won over $240,000 in cash and prizes making her takeaway the largest prize ever won in a single pricing game in the 54-year history of the daytime version of the CBS game show.
The contestant, “Vanesa from Virginia” bested the previous record of $210,000 in a single pricing game of Cliffhangers set over a decade ago in 2016. The moment occurred when Vanesa played “The Lion’s Share,” the new high,” the new high-stakes branded game that debuted this season through a partnership with BetMGM.
In the game, contestants have to guess the prices of grocery items to earn up to five balls. Each ball is then dropped into a wind tunnel, revealing a hidden prize amount. After each reveal, contestants face a tense decision to walk away with their current winnings or risk it all to continue.

Vanesa went for the gusto!

Those impressive winning amounted to $240,150 as her daughter cheered her on from the audience.
According to BetMGM and TPIR producers, Fremantle, “The Lion’s Share” is the first custom-branded game in the show’s history, and the first new pricing game on the show since 2021.
