As they say, all good things must come to an end. Once an alternative option to daytime rival The View, The Talk was CBS' hit daytime current events talk show that engaged viewers after they had their fill of morning game shows like The Price Is Right. Now, after 15 seasons, The Talk is coming to an end. After one final week of live shows, the series will come to an official end this week.
To celebrate the finale, The Talk is about to bring out all the stops for their final episode. Airing on December 20 on CBS, The Talk's cohosts will sit and gab together for one last time as they welcome an array of guests and pass out some holiday gifts to their loyal live studio audience. The Talk has won 14 Daytime Emmy Awards with 58 nominations.
