The daytime television show will end in December. Here's what to expect, according to Jerry O'Connell and Amanda Kloots.
Amanda Kloots and Jerry O'Connell aren't thinking about the end of The Talk just yet!
On Friday, the two co-hosts of the CBS daytime talk show spoke with ET's Deidre Behar at the 51st annul Daytime Emmys and opened up about their feelings on the series, which is set to end in December.
"We have till December," Kloots said. "So I don't think we've even thought about it yet to be honest 'cause we got to finish this season and now we get to come back. So ask us in November."
For O'Connell, he wasn't feeling the emotions leading up to the end of his time with his co-stars until he watched Pat Sajak's farewell to Vanna White and Wheel of Fortune last week.
"I'm gonna tell you, I was actually cool with it until I watched Vanna White's goodbye video yesterday," he said. "I found it to be very emotional [when Sajak said] 'Vanna, we love you. I know this is the end of a chapter, but it's the beginning of a new one. We love you, Vanna White.' That made me kind of emotional."
In April, CBS announced that The Talk, hosted by O'Connell, Kloots, Natalie Morales, Akbar Gbajabiamila and Sheryl Underwood, would end with a "proper sendoff" in December -- following its 15th season.
"The Talk broke new ground when it launched 14 years ago by returning daytime talk to CBS with a refreshing and award-winning format. Throughout the years, it has been a key program on CBS' top rated daytime line-up as it brought timely, important and entertaining topics and discussions into living rooms around the globe," CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach and CBS Studios president David Stapf said in a statement.
The statement added, "For the final season, we plan to celebrate the show and give it the proper sendoff it deserves when it concludes in December 2024."
And when it comes to their next gigs, O'Connell and Kloots revealed that they haven't thought that far as they are just focused on celebrating their current jobs until the end.
"I have no idea what I'm going to do," O'Connell told ET.
"I always say in this business a phone call will change our life in a second, so you can't really plan," Kloots added. "You can just hustle, work hard and dream big and you never know."
This year, Kloots, O'Connell, Underwood, Morales and Gbajabiamila were nominated for a Daytime Emmy in the Daytime Talk Series host category. Though they didn't take home the trophy, Kloots told ET ahead of the ceremony that if she and her co-hosts won, it would represent the work they do as a team.
"We're super excited we love our job," she said. "We love working together so it would be really cool if we won. I'm excited."
