CBS 'The Talk' Hires Aisha Tyler As Co-Host Post Leah And Holly Firing

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

CBS The Talk has added yet another host since the controversial firing of Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete going into its second season.

Julie Chen, moderator and co-host of the show has been singled out as the villain. Just last month rumors surfaced she was already tired of new host comedian Sheryl Underwood. Underwood remains…for now.

Deadline.com has confirmed another face has been added to the mad house, Ghost Whisperer and Friends star Aisha Taylor. Taylor will join Chen, Underwood, Sara Gilbert and Sharon Osbourne.

Will Aisha be able to fill the void of either Holly or Leah? FYI: Holly did land on her feet! She snagged a multi episode arc on CBS’ Mike & Molly.

Aisha Tyler brings previous hosting experience to the table. In addition to a week long stint on The Talk she was a guest host for CBS’ Late Late Show.

Let’s hope she last!

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
