CBS has renewed the daytime chat-fest The Talk for another season.
The network announced the pickup Wednesday after several strong week’s of ratings. The morning talker is averaging 2.2 million viewers since it premiered last fall.
The show — an answer to ABC’s long-running The View — is hosted by CBS News’ Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete and Leah Remini. Marissa Jaret Winokur left the show after only a few months.
“After only a few months on the air, The Talk has delivered creative and ratings growth and established a strong profile in daytime,” Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment, said in a statement. “The co-hosts have clicked together, the topics have connected with the audience and the show has added a new dimension to our top-rated daytime line-up. We’re excited about its current success and the potential to grow and evolve ‘The Talk’ even further.”
Added David Stapf, President of CBS Television Studios: “We’re proud that The Talk has emerged as a unique player in the daytime arena. The goal was always to create a show that offered different perspectives to issues facing families. The show’s success is largely due to our hosts’ chemistry and we’re thrilled that the topics we are addressing are resonating with audiences.”
Oh gosh, y’all! It’s been such a long time since I’ve been here but life is just to busy for me – AND – I do all of this by myself. (Anyone interested in helping, give me a shout!) I do have a few cool things planned to tide us over until BB13 but those will come in the new year. Onto the post…
Sorry I never posted about the whole scandal but Brendon is trying to make up with Rachel by buying her a freakin star. TMZ has all the details…
Nothing says “I’m sorry” like naming a celestial object after the girl you cyber-cheated on — which is why bawl-my-eyes-out Brendon from “Big Brother” just threw down $109 to christen the star, “Rachel Reilly.”
According to the International Star Registry, Brendon got the appropriate paperwork in order this week — certifying the star’s new name — and even purchased a $70 bracelet with the star’s coordinates to sweeten the deal.
It’s not his first attempt at an apology — as we previously reported, Brendon posted an “I’m sorry” video online recently … after his ex-GF and “Big Bro” co-star Rachel allegedly found out he sent pics of his schlong to a girl he met online.
No worries though — if the video didn’t cut it, a paper star certificate and bracelet definitely will do the trick. Right?
Since Rachel was so quick to allegedly get back with Brendon, many BB fans have speculated that this was all to generate publicity for a BB13: All-Stars campaign. Thoughts?
Ragan wrote his first blog post since being released from Big Brother. He is not going to Vegas, nor is Matt, but he plans to keep us all updated. He also states that there will be a fund put in place to help support Britney and her loss due to the fire.
I’m back home! Amazing= hanging out with my friends and listening to Hole. A few quick notes & answers to FAQ:
Thanks to all the people who supported me this summer. I’m overwhelmed by your generosity. I’ll even shout out to the haters. We, evidently, had a number of polarizing cast members this season. Whether it’s love or hate, it’s great to see people make such a substantial investment in the show. I don’t take any of the hate personally, ‘cuz I spent the last 10 years loving and hating houseguests from seasons 2-11 and I knew what I was getting myself into when I signed up for the show. Love me or hate me, “Big Brother” fans are the greatest. That said, Team Ragan f’ing rocks! I have crap loads of email and tweets to get through. If I don’t respond to you immediately, be patient. It may take me some time but I intend to write you back.
Matt, Stacy, my friend Peter, and I stayed up until 4 a.m. looking and laughing at all the photoshopped images of the BB12 cast. The photoshop forum on SurvivorSucks blew my mind. Amazing. Hilarious! I wish somebody would make a book out of all the art the posters created.
A special shout-out to my amazing friends and family. I know all of this has been a crazy ride for you and it certainly wasn’t anything YOU signed up for. I am humbled by your grace and love.
