Thirteen years after CBS’s “The Talk” aired its first episode, the daytime TV staple is still going strong. Created by actress Sara Gilbert, the popular series began as a motherhood-centric discussion program featuring six female co-hosts (aged 35-58) with entertainment backgrounds. Throughout its 14 seasons, the show has evolved to cover a broader scope of topics and has seen 16 full-time hosts come and go, with the current lineup including the first two male panelists. Scroll through our chronological photo gallery to find out more about all of these presenters and their extensive careers.

When “The Talk” debuted in 2010, its hosting panel consisted of Gilbert, Julie Chen Moonves, Sharon Osbourne, Leah Remini, Holly Robinson Peete, and remote participant Marissa Jaret Winokur. Following Osbourne’s departure in 2021, no original stars remained. Today, longest-serving host Sheryl Underwood is flanked by Amanda Kloots, Jerry O’Connell, Akbar Gbajabiamila, and Natalie Morales.

The typical “Talk” format is characterized by an opening chat entitled “Everybody Talks” that usually involves social media interaction, followed by celebrity interviews and occasional cooking or product giveaway segments. Many guest hosts have appeared during the show’s 2,000-episode run, with some having gone on to become permanent panelists. Since 2014, the rotating casts have collectively vied for the Best Talk Show Host Daytime Emmy seven times, winning once in 2017.
