CBS just dropped the mic on The Talk, confirming the series finale date for the long-running daytime talk show. After 15 years of coffee-table banter, awkward celebrity interviews, and more chair shuffles than a game of musical chairs, the show is officially heading off into the sunset.
Here’s the tea: Sheryl Underwood, Amanda Kloots, Jerry O’Connell, Akbar Gbajabiamila, and Natalie Morales will start their grand farewell on Monday, December 16. The final episode—cue the dramatic music—will air Friday, December 20. Mark your calendars, grab the tissues, and maybe a snack; emotional snacking is valid.
As for celebrity guests? It’s all very hush-hush. Either they’re keeping things under wraps for a dramatic reveal, or they’re still sliding into people’s DMs begging for RSVPs. Stay tuned because who wouldn’t want to see which A-lister gets the honor of waving goodbye?
Since its debut in 2010, The Talk has racked up a respectable 11 Daytime Emmy nominations. That’s right—11! Sure, it’s not an EGOT, but it’s nothing to sneeze at. The show snagged nods for Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host, proving they could talk the talk and walk the walk… at least for a while.
So, pour one out for The Talk—15 years of laughter, tears, and so many hot topics. Whether you tuned in religiously or caught it by accident while flipping channels, there’s no denying it was a staple of daytime TV. Now, it’s off to the great big talk show in the sky (or maybe just reruns on some obscure channel). Cheers to a chat well chatted!
