AceShowbiz - With its final episode airing on December 20, CBS's "The Talk" is set to end its successful 15-season run. The show, which has been a daytime TV staple since its debut in 2010, has featured a rotating panel of hosts throughout its history.
Co-host Natalie Morales expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to have fun and connect with guests on The Talk. "We have and we had such great chemistry," Morales told Us Weekly ahead of the show's series finale. "I think it always boils down to the team around you and the chemistry and we all brought something so unique and different. I think everybody has such a unique background."
Amanda Kloots recalled meeting her childhood crush, Mark McGrath, and other celebrities from her teenage years' favorites like "Saved by the Bell." She said, "I feel like each day is going to be emotional. I think each day they're going to highlight us with a montage. Montages always get me. I think each day is going to be a hard one."
Sheryl Underwood shared her appreciation for the friendships she formed with her co-hosts and her plans to borrow some holiday decor from the set. Akbar Gbajabiamila praised his colleagues' professionalism and camaraderie, while Jerry O'Connell gave a special shout-out to the show's wardrobe department for its stylish attire.
As the final episodes air, "The Talk" hosts will welcome special guests and give away over $2.5 million in giveaways. Beginning February 24, a new daytime drama called "Beyond the Gates" will replace The Talk in its time slot.
The show first aired with Sara Gilbert, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini, Julie Chen and Sharon Osbourne as co-hosts, but that panel has changed several times since then.
