The long-running daytime talk show “The Talk” ended its 15-season run on December 20, with the emotional finale bringing tears to the eyes of cohost Amanda Kloots. Joining her for the final time were fellow cohosts Sheryl Underwood, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell, and Akbar Gbajabiamila.
As the group took their seats, Kloots got choked up talking about how being on the show has impacted her life. She shared a heartfelt message about appreciating each other’s opinions and valuing the friendships formed during her time on the program. Her cohost Sheryl Underwood was seen offering comfort and support throughout the conversation.
The finale came as no surprise, given the news that the show would be ending after 15 seasons. However, in recent months, another emotional moment has gone viral – a touching press tour between costars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo from the movie musical “Wicked.” During their interviews, Grande expressed her confusion about some of Erivo’s responses, but they eventually found comfort with each other.
As Kloots reflected on her time on “The Talk,” she expressed gratitude for the opportunity to talk to four people – five, if including the audience – every day about a range of topics. The show has been known for its focus on talking and not fighting, which has resonated with audiences.
The series finale marked the end of an era for the daytime television staple, but it’s clear that the friendships forged during this time will endure. As Jerry O’Connell joked, “These are forever friends” – a sentiment echoed by Sheryl Underwood as she looked ahead to her next chapter.
