The
Talk is
quieting
down.

After
14
years,
CBS
announced
the
long-running
daytime
show
will
come
to
an
end
later
this
year.
The
series,
which
will
return
for
a
shortened
season
15,
will
air
its
final
episode
in
December.

“The
Talk broke
new
ground
when
it
launched
14
years
ago
by
returning
daytime
talk
to
CBS
with
a
refreshing
and
award-winning
format,” the
network
said
in
a
statement
to Variety. “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.”

In
addition
to
giving
recognition
to
current
hosts


Akbar
Gbajabiamila, Amanda
Kloots, Natalie
Morales, Jerry
O’Connell and Sheryl
Underwood,
CBS
also
highlighted
those
who
were
previously
part
of
the
talk
show’s
community. “We
also
want
to
acknowledge
our
former
show
hosts
and
colleagues
who
contributed
throughout
the
seasons,”
the
statement
noted. “We
truly
appreciate
the
skill,
creativity,
and
dedication
everyone
involved
brought
to
the
show
every
day.”
