How The Talk Emotionally Ended After 15 Years
Dec 22, 2024
The Talk has officially said “Goodbye.”
After 15 seasons and 2,993 episodes, the CBS daytime show came to an end on Dec. 20 with a heartfelt farewell from hosts Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood.
The episode began with a standing ovation for the cast and crew, which prompted Jerry to joke, “I just wanted to know why everyone’s being so nice today? What happened?”
And as The Talk‘s Instagram account noted in their stories, “Starting the show with some tears and laughs is only right for us.”
The final episode featured multiple montages honoring each of the current hosts, and also looked back on The Talk‘s history by tapping into just a few of their over 10,800 guests, with the likes of Rob Lowe, Shemar Moore, Lisa Rinna and 50 Cent sending in their love.
But it wasn’t all emotional: The hosts also got a bit of a roasting when Howie Mandel arrived to present them with individualized Talkie Awards.
