I'm glad you posted this since I've been feeling the same all last week.
As much as I've been rooting for the show to get it together and bounce back I've finally come to accept the fact that they've done all they could and nothing will work. Sheryl is still the strongest host with Natalie an equally good mod, but Jerry, Akbar and Amanda (bless her) don't really bring anything to the table. The chemistry was always a bit off, but it's even worse after so many months off since last season.
I was disappointed and annoyed that they didn't talk about what's happening in Israel, but chose instead to talk about Beyoncé at Taylor Swift's concert and the California lotto. They're not a political show, but they've talked about the war in the Ukraine and mass shootings here in the US so there's no excuse this time.
I'll try to stick with them, but now I see the writing on the wall. They won't be long for this daytime TV world.
