The long-running daytime talk show will get a 'proper sendoff' in December 2024.
The Talk is getting ready to say their last.
CBS announced on Friday that the Emmy-winning daytime talk show has been renewed for a 15th and final season, and will receive a "proper sendoff" before ending in December 2024.
In a joint statement, CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach and CBS Studios president David Stapf said, "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."
"It goes without saying that hosting and producing a year-round talk show is no easy task, and we express our sincere gratitude to our amazing hosts Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood, our Executive Producer/Showrunner Rob Crabbe and the hardworking producing team and crew," the statement continued. "We also want to acknowledge our former show hosts and colleagues who contributed throughout the seasons. We truly appreciate the skill, creativity, and dedication everyone involved brought to the show every day. And of course, we thank the numerous guests who appeared, and the millions of viewers who tuned in daily. For the final season, we plan to celebrate the show and give it the proper sendoff it deserves when it concludes in December 2024."
The Talk originally launched in 2010 after being pitched to CBS by Sara Gilbert. On the first season, Gilbert was joined by co-hosts Julie Chen Moonves, Sharon Osbourne, Leah Remini, Holly Robinson Peete and Marissa Jaret Winokur.
Other hosts throughout the years have included Aisha Tyler, Eve, Carrie Ann Inaba, Elaine Welteroth and Marie Osmond.
When ET spoke with Moonves back in September 2023, she opened up about feeling "bitter, party of one" following her 2018 dismissal from the talk show, but shared how she had "mended fences" with Remini and Peete -- whose complaints about working with her during the show's first season later went public.
"I swallowed my foolish pride and we mended fences," she shared. "The important thing is how far I've come -- from those initial feelings of anger and betrayal to forgiveness. I've had contact with those two people, and there is no hard feelings... It is so powerful to forgive and to feel love."
"To Leah's credit, she tried to apologize to me years earlier," Moonves added. "I had run into her and I was just so hard-hearted and foolish. I didn't open to her, I didn't want to hear it. And I'm so glad that God taught me the power of forgiveness, because we're closer now than ever. You know, we look back and laugh at it."
Moonves also reconnected with Peete -- ironically, at Remini's 50th birthday party -- and she noted "it was nice to reconcile with her too."
