‘The Talk': Sheryl Underwood Promises to ‘Get to the Healing’ in First Post-Sharon Osbourne Episode (Video)
Sheryl Underwood is ready to move on from all of this Sharon Osbourne drama, but first the (remaining) co-hosts of CBS’ “The Talk” about going to talk about it.
At the top of Monday’s episode, Underwood shared a message from backstage as the show returned for the first time since the week of March 10, when she and former colleague Sharon Osbourne had a heated and tearful on-camera argument about Piers Morgan’s Meghan Markle comments. Basically, Osbourne, a longterm friend of Morgan’s, defended her fellow Brit’s right to say he didn’t believe a word Markle said in her high-profile recent interview with Oprah Winfrey. Osbourne said Morgan is not a racist.
“It’s Monday, April 12, and it’s time for an episode of ‘The Talk’ that will be unlike any other we’ve had before.” Underwood says in the opening, “As you may know, during our break, Sharon decided to leave ‘The Talk.’ We need to process the events of that day and what happened since, so we can get to the healing. Over the next hour, we will honestly discuss what occurred and explore some of our feelings. And we’ll also show you how anyone can become more comfortable discussing important issues and having difficult conversations. By the end of the hour, we want everyone to feel empowered and ready to move forward. So, let’s start talking.
