The Shady Truth About The Talk

Apr 30 2021

Developed and co-hosted by Roseanne actress Sara Gilbert, The Talk debuted in 2010 on CBS as an alternative to The View, the mega-popular morning chat show over on rival network ABC. Initially focused on motherhood, The Talk quickly branched out, discussing all manner of topics, many of which sparked controversy for the show and its hosts.

Did host and wife to then-CBS CEO Les Moonves, Julie Chen, really threaten to fire her co-hosts? What did Sheryl Underwood say about "afro hair"? Did Sharon Osbourne really say that Meghan Markle "ain't black"? We've got the tea. This is the shady truth about The Talk.
