I don't watch this show because I cut the cord years ago and daytime talk shows bore me anyway. But I'm even shocked that Sharon Osbourne even gets a platform. She has no talent and who does she appeal to? She and the kids used Ozzy's name to get media spotlight and they seem to not get the memo to go away. Only Aimee is the normal one in that family and she didn't participate in that reality TV nonsense.

I'm sick of untalented family members leeching off of the success of one marginally talented relative through reality TV or social media. Who will they replace Sharon with Brooke Hogan or Angela Simmons?

This is always the same problem: the channels want to hire people who are "edgy" and uncensored, and then when those people inevitably go too far, they have to fire them. But the edgy stars were the attraction in the first place.

My prediction is that the show will be gone forever by fall.

When “As the World Turns” was chased off the air in 2010, CBS and Procter and Gamble had whittled its audience down to 1.8 million.

Now, in 2021, “The Talk” finished its most recent rating week with 1.446 million viewers. And arguably they have more drama than a soap.

Why is “The Talk” still on the air? Mostly because it’s cheap. Back in 2010 I asked Les Moonves why he was dumping the soaps (he also got rid of “Guiding Light”) in favor of a talk show featuring his wife. Julie Chen?

“The soaps cost a fortune and don’t have a big audience,” Moonves said to me. “Why should I keep them on? The Talk costs almost nothing.”

Indeed, it does. Aside from Sharon Osbourne, the remaining hosts cannot be making much money. In TV terms they have two things going against them: they’re women, and they’re not white. You know what that means.

When Chen, Leah Remini, and even Holly Robinson were there, the budget was no doubt higher. But “The Talk” ranks last of all daytime shows every day. It’s number 13 after the four soaps, game shows, “The View,” and (just joking) the farm report. If it were a soap, it would have been cancelled. They’ve lost around 30% of their audience in the last year.

“The Talk” will return on April 12th without Osbourne. But if CBS is smart, they’ll move Drew Barrymore’s talk show, which they own, back to 2pm next fall, and let affiliates which moved “Hot Bench” from 9am restore it to that time. “Hot Bench” is a huge hit, now missing from top markets because of Drew– even though it gets three times the audience. “The Talk,” I say, will be gone at end of summer.

Okay, I hate Sharon. I think she is a bitch and she has her skeletons and perhaps this was the chance for CBS to get rid of her.

But this is ridiculous. The show is called THE TALK. Talk about racism is uncomfortable.

We cannot discuss racism anymore because everybody is afraid of being labeled a "racist" if they say something that is not in line with a certain ideology. Sharon's hysterics were over the top ("I SHOULD be the one crying!) but she was reacting and upset. I think her asking Sheryl for more specifics was not out of line. It was part of the, you know, talk. It was uncomfortable but that's what happens when discussions of racism come up and it could have been a learning moment for everyone, including Sharon.

Instead, she has to leave the show. A follow-up discussion could have been enlightening and thought-provoking. To me this seems very cowardly.

Actually, be honest and don’t spin this. We can’t talk about racism because of white women like Sharon who threaten to start crying. That’s literally what she did.

R72 When Sheryl Underwood explained why Piers Morgan’s comments could be considered racist, Sharon got defensive and began crying. This is what R69 is referring to.

If Sharon was fired strictly due to this incident, it would be an overreaction. However, this isn’t the case - CBS launched an investigation and found cause. It doesn’t make sense to lament about her “cancellation” over the Piers Morgan defense when this isn’t what happened.

by Anonymousreply 76March 27, 2021 9:51 AM

I think the network saw an opportunity when they realized that Sharon was close to Piers. They asked her to talk about Pier's firing, which they knew she'd do from a sympathetic point of view. They may well have drummed this whole situation up as a pretext to cancel the entire show.

None of the others are interesting. Without her the ratings will take a massive dive, and then the network can just throw up their hands and say to all the others "Sorry, girls, It's in your contract that if the ratings plunge, we get to cancel your contracts. No pay-out for you. Bye."

I predict this will happen withing three months, by which time we will have realized that ironically, Sharon was the only one who got a huge pay-out for leaving a show they were all going to have to leave anyway.

It's not cancel culture so much as fed-up with it now culture. Her finger pointing demands to a WOC to explain racism to her is why she's a racist. That alone is unacceptable to me.

Think of why everyone wants those receipts about the crook who was formerly President saying the 'N' word and how that's the white line in the sand for this type of shit. Again, you needn't use slurs to be a racist, but everything else is just fine. Leave those statues up, it's 'heritage' , or they must be cheating in the voting because they beat our asses.

As for the nonsense that outed her: Piers walked out before he was compelled to explain why he did not believe someone who is talking about mental illness. You have to believe it because you have no other way of proving someone is lying about it. Her admitting that on national tv was stunning when you can get arrested for saying the same thing on a suicide hot line and hanging up. They call because they believe you and committing suicide by getting you arrested and placed into a facility is the last resort. Piers is a heartless, cruel and relentless racist for opening his mouth and expressing this.

Furthermore, he doesn't just get paid to express opinions. He also gets paid to sit there and listen to the opposing side. There's personal history there, as well. He refuses to listen to anyone he hates and he hates her because she rejected him on a personal level. There was no relationship or even a friendship extended and she ghosted his ass. What could she say? "You're too racist for me? I can see your tighty white privilege for miles?". He's resentful and racist because a WOC turned him down flat and saw him for what he is.

Sharon's calls his rants 'opinions', makes no mention of how reprehensible it is to disregard any human being's confession of suididal thoughts, and if she was a friend of his - knew the personal story and should have said it to preface any defense.

This is all well and good but it wasn’t the obvious minority who threw the spanned in the works, it was the delicate flower of an English rose, but apparently as she was “reacting and upset”, let’s blame the token PC black sistah for poking her.

Sheryl actually continued the discussion as to what she perceived to be Piers’ racial overtones but Sharon threatened to start crying and pretty much declared herself under attack!

That suggestion probably sounds like nonsense to most people, but it's comparative to Sharon's support of Morgan. Supporting someone's freedom of speech isn't necessarily supporting what they say or being critical of the consequences they experience as a result of what they have the freedom to say. I don't agree with people who say that all gay people are immoral perverts, but I agree that people who say this have every right to say it. I also agree that they deserve every bit of pushback they receive by uttering such ridiculous opinions. But why should I get any flack for defending anyone right to their point of view? And why should Sharon? I understand that her removal from The Talk has more to do with dollars & cents, fake outrage & irrational swiftness than anything else, but this show truly squandered a useful opportunity to have a meaningful, beneficial "the talk". Both Sharon & Sheryl made good & not so good points & both were denied the opportunity to continue their conversation in the forum it started, so viewers could witness a beginning, a middle & a resolution. Oh well, seems to be the way all these conversations we "need" to be having about race seem to end up.

Viewers are denied the opportunity to see the conversation because Sharon brought it to an end when she threatened to cry.

R92 The fact that Megan is exhibiting symptoms of suicidal ideation is just another reason why you wouldn't trust her on anything else. When it comes to mental illness, there is difference between showing compassion and validating their thoughts even if they are irrational. However, Piers has released a statement where he supports those going through mental illness. At some point, Megan has to take responsibility for what she does and says without falling back on yet another excuse.

Sharon seems to be more evolved on this issue then most given her support of LGBT. If she needs to have it explained, you better believe that this is a conversation worth having.

R91 Wrong. He did a genetic test for that dumb morning show he quitt. He us genetically not English! His nationality British is one thing, his ethnic background is another. Just ask Britons of Irish Catholic descent how they were treated in England and Scotland. They were treated like 3 class citizens for years.

Sharon is desceded from two groups that were shit upon very much, Jews and Irish Catholics. She is a hypocritical white ethnic cunt. She is definitely considered white adjacent by DL standards!

R95 WHO said Sheryl was the problem? Nobody's accusing the Black woman of being the issue here. Please read and understand BEFORE posting dumb shit. Also, Sharon didn't begin to cry because of Piers OR the shitty explanation that she received from Sheryl. Those tears were from shock and slowly realizing that this conversation was gonna lead to her being called a racist. I think she also really likes Sheryl. Again, not taking up for her just relaying what I saw.

Sheryl gave a VERY weak argument as to why Morgan was being racist. I mean...he may very well BE, but in the bigger picture, not believing a person of color is not a valid reason to be called a racist. PERIOD.

This is exactly why difficult conversations on race don’t happen - people with the least to lose run out on them. It’s not the earnest wokesters, it is the white “liberal” who throw tantrums and shut shit down. Sharon is very happy “supporting the LGBT community” - she does her Lady Bountiful routine, is celebrated a gay icon and receives attention that an unattractive, brassy woman doesn’t get - but actual hard conversations that challenge her worldview with a member of a community that doesn’t automatically find her schtick fabulous? “They” are suddenly out to get her, “they” are conspiring to get her sacked, “they” are ruining her reputation when all she has to do is what she’s there to do - talk.

You dug your own hole, Sharon.

WTF does being supportive of LGBT have to do with being/not being racist?

R108, your comment makes no sense. All day every day here on DL we see GLBTs and their allies spewing racist nonsense. And we all know minorities who spew homo/trans phobic bs.

One has little to do with the other.

I'm not a fan of Sharon, but I agree that people do need to present quantitative info before they want to say that racism came into play. I actually do think both Sharon and P. Morgan are racist (that's my gut feeling, based partly on Kelly Osbourne). I think Sharon could have, without a tantrum, asked her cohosts: What are you basing this on? What specific behavior / words of P. Morgan?

P. Morgan had a drinks "date" with Markle and she cut off all communication with P. Morgan once she got serious with Harry. IMO, Morgan is holding a petty grudge from that.

If we're going to keep changing the rules as to what is acceptable, then we're going to need it explained to us. Sharon was actually being quite courteous and ready to be humbled by asking for an explanation. It's not her fault that Sheryl's response was vague and unconvincing.

I think these woke supremacists are far more dangerous in terms of radicalizing average people then actual white supremacists who exist only on the fringes of society.

R107,

You are wrong. Having suicidal thoughts is not a reason to limit trust in what she says about the situation. She's not in that state currently and was not during the interview. You're confusing a severe personality disorder (like Sharon's oppositional disorder or Pier's malignant narcissism) with a temporary mental condition brought about by stress.

If Sharon wasn’t a racist (and she obviously is) she would be glad her situation raises the profile of the conversation.

Remember she said that she disagreed with Piers. That means she wasn't even fired for sharing his opinion but defending his right to have his opinion. Scary times we live in.

It started out as a polite request and then she became exasperated when the woke morons couldn't answer the simple request and instead went into the programmed woke spiels of circular illogic nothingness. They literally could not say what was racist about Morgan disliking Markle.
