The Talk‘s ratings have tanked since Sharon Osbourne suddenly departed the series after controversy stemming from her support for friend Piers Morgan regarding the Meghan Markle interview with Oprah Winfrey and comments she made regarding racism in the monarchy drew nationwide attention. Sharon stated that Piers had a right to his opinion, but in this age of cancel culture, opinions that are deemed hate speech are subject to cancelation. Though cancel culture came for Piers and Sharon, it looks like The Talk is about to be canceled instead!
The Talk’s ratings are so bad, they are the lowest they’ve ever been and people simply aren’t watching the program like they used to. Things came to a head when Sheryl Underwood and Sharon Osbourne went head-to-head in a heated debate about race and their fight went viral with millions watching the clips on demand.
Sharon left the show on April 12, 2021, and it simply hasn’t recovered its former viewership.
A source spoke to Life & Style for their May 24, 2021, issue and expressed the cast members’ concern for the show’s survival.
The cast and crew are all worried. People aren’t tuning in like they used to. No one wants to say it, but cancellation could be on the horizon.
CBS hasn’t announced plans to cancel the series but if their numbers stay this low, it isn’t looking good.
Former fans of the show aren’t holding back on social media about their opinions since Sharon left the program. The source continued speaking to the publication and dished that Sharon thinks karma is playing out. The source stated the following.
Sharon believes karma is doing its thing. She doesn’t want the crew to lose their jobs, but there’s no love lost for CBS or some of the other hosts.
