The Talk Cbs

CBS's new daytime talk show, set to premiere in the fall, will be called "The Talk," according to reports from the 2010 TCA Summer Press Tour.

The show will be hosted by Julie Chen — who hosts "Big Brother" on the network and is the wife of CBS CEO Les Moonves — as well as a list of high-profile working moms: Sara Gilbert, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Leah Remini, Holly Robinson Peete and Sharon Osbourne.

The women, according to The Wrap, all said that "The Talk" would be a forum for honest discussion about news, issues facing women and mothers, and their personal lives.

But one topic remains off-limits.

"One thing that my daughter did say was totally off limits was her menstrual cycle," Robinson Peete said.

But what do you think about the name? Is it a simplistic hit, like "The View," or is it a meaningless miss? Vote below.

How nice. Les Moonves has given his Asian "concubine-turned wife" her own little talk show to play with.

just a little prejudice are we,this world is full of such hatred and for what it is alot easier to be nice. I do believe that Julie Chen had already started her career before she met her husband.and she worked very hard for it. Asian Concubine's were created by men for men and it wasnt because men are so great !!!!!!!!! The women suffered horribly and thier children also did.

Isn't "the talk" when a parent must sit their teen down and explain about sex?!?

They should simply call it "The Can't Understand Normal Thinking Show". The acronym would be very catchy, and also sum up the show and its hosts in a single word.

Worst talk show imitation ever.

Are there no original ideas anywhere in the corporate broadcast universe?

No, there are no original ideas in broadcasting or film! Then we have to have part 1, 2, and 3...

Penn and Teller took the better title already.

My main question is, "Are SIX people really necessary to host anything?" Is this even feasible?
