All Episodes Talk: Now We're Talking

[Apprentice79]

Shemar Moore needs to calm down, he is too much...He is co-hosting today.. He almost put his foot in his mouth, trying to be diplomatic. Yes, a life was lost, but, this man had child porn, in his possession and was convicted.  I have no sympathy, for a vermin like that...

I still feel for Aisha. Yes, she really loved her husband, based on the positive things she said about her husband and her marriage, not just on this show, but in her book, in multiple interviews, and on her podcast. 

 

Or even if Sharon thought Quincy Jones's words were deplorable, which is her right, she sounds idiotic by saying he's a music legend/icon in his own mind. Even if she doesn't know who he is or isn't familiar with his music, that doesn't make him any less important. Just shut up, Sharon.

 THIS!

I don't either. Even if he never touched a child himself, he was obviously getting off on watching children being abused. I read that one of his ex-girlfriends (might've been the one that reported him for having child porn, but I'm not totally sure) accused him of rape.

Omygosh. Please NO MORE SHEMAR MOORE! (Hey, it rhymes!)

NO MORE SHEMAR MOORE!

He was all about the sex appeal. And the audience didn't help with all the hooting and hollering. And what the heck was he wearing!

Shemar's mother raised him to be confident, but I think she was a bit heavy-handed with his self-esteem ... LOL!!!

Shemar Moore. mcrae knows that when he's on as a guest I tune out once his segment is on. When he's a guest host I just don't watch. Over the years he has just become intolerable to me. He just comes across as smarmy and fake to me. It all started once he first started appearing on The Talk. I never viewed him the same thereafter. 

I decided to watch yesterday's show despite him guest hosting. Still the same. I managed to watch all but the last 15 minutes. That baby girl crap got old after the first year on Criminal Minds. Retire it. He is one of the reasons that I stopped watching it. Despite it being the type of show I would like, I never even tuned into SWAT. I don't hate the man, I just don't care for him.

Yup! Lol. I remember the first time he guest hosted in season 1 and even then he came dressed like he was going to the grocery store instead of a talk show and pulling up his shirt and going on and on about his "future wife". The man is fine and all, but there's no need to be so extra.

Sara hasn't done the New Years Evolution thing yet, has she?

I'm curious to see what Sara's "evolution" will be.

[msrachelj]

watched yesterday, with a lot of fast forwarding. been working and haven't been able to keep up. but i see sharon is still as nasty, bitchy and vile as ever. what did everyone think of her screeching out to sara about justin timberlake, something along the line of "you just said he had no talent?" and sara never gets excited about anything. i actually think it's possible sara did say in confidence something negative about timberlake but of course that doesn't make it right what that low class (looking very ragged and old lately) bitch did. never tell "mrs. o " anything. why is she still on this show?  she is disgusting.

I was floored when she did that to Sara.  Wow!  that is what happen when the show lets Sharon get away with her bull for so long.  

The colorism topic that was brought up by the panel was very view like.  The show usually gets their information right. Matthew Knowles spoke in depth about colorism in the Black community and how that affected his view of Black women growing up in the deep south and how he got with Tina Knowles in the first place.  I thought it was very brave of him to talk about being color struck and it affected how he push Beyoncé to the forefront in Destiny's child. . A lot of Black people don't like to talk about this issue.   The show just spoke about what he said about Beyoncé's coloring and not spoke about what he said about this complex issue as a whole.  Sheryl who is always on the ball when it comes to issues like this, let me down a bit, because she simplified a very complex issue.. Colorism is a consequence of racism.. It is also deeply ingrained in the Latin community.

I had a "what would Aisha have said?" moment when they were talking about that.

I felt for Sara when she got emotional over her friend who was allegedly abused by Scott Baio. I liked the way they handled Nicole Eggert's interview. It's never too late to speak up about what has happened to you.

Aisha would have dived into this issue and given it the attention that it deserved.  It would have been nuanced and thought-provoking. 

I am so happy that Scott Baio is getting his just desserts.  He was insufferable during 2016. I don't want to say too much and get in trouble.

Sheryl was very stoic and affected by what Nicole was saying. It was triggering, a lot of things, in her, concerning, her past with sexual abuse and rape.    She did not question or spoke throughout Nicole's  recounting of her years abuse by Scott.  She just listened intently, but, her face said it all.

i also saw  nicole on dr oz. i'm no scott baio fan to say the least, but something seems off with nicole's story. we need to all stop automatically believing every single detail from every woman who comes forth. there are liars in both sexes. those of you with sons, husbands , and fathers , don't you feel nervous about how some of this is going down?  tho, if he did do it all , then damn him. 

kelsey grammer was fun. i've read very strange things about him but he comes across as humorous and smart and a good guest. looks like frasiers dad died of brain and lung disease.  what a great show that was.

We shouldn't automatically believe it, but we should automatically take it seriously and look into it. Unfortunately there are cases like what happened to Aziz Anzari and yes, there are liars.

I never watched Frasier, but loved Girlfriends and got a kick out of finding out Kelsey was one of the executive producers.

I enjoy her on the show, but sometimes she still hangs back a bit too much and she gets tongue twisted. Like when they were talking about Matthew Knowles, Eve kept fumbling over her words.

[Love2dance]

I was very surprised and disappointed that on today’s show the entire panel agreed that a sixth grade girl should be allowed to say no to a dance when asked by a sixth grade boy at a school dance. I’m sure it takes every ounce of courage for many 11-12 year old boys to ask a girl to dance. How humiliating for him to be turned down. It’s only for 3 minutes and in front of the entire class or classes. They should be encouraged to dance with a different partner for every dance so no one has to feel uncomfortable being “stuck” with someone they don’t want, and everyone gets a chance to dance.

Orrrrrrrrr, even better, I don’t think there should be partners at all at that age. Everyone should be allowed to come out to the dance floor and just DANCE. That is what we see lately at every club, bar miztvah, or wedding we attend. (The only exception might be a few dances where they are teaching the students how to slow dance. Then my previous suggestions apply.)

By the way, I am the mom of a boy and girl.

It bothered me that the panel connected it to the "me too" movement.. They went too far.. They are in the 6th grade, for goodness sakes. The ladies are usually open-minded.  I think Aisha would have provided the other point of view. I really miss her..

It really pissed me off that they went into the whole SJP back & forth about Kim Cattrall when they didn't apprise themselves of the WHOLE g.d. story.  Gawd!!!  I can't be bothered with this show because their lack of preparation is even worse than The View.  AND then, SO says the church wrote a check for the take out food ... ffs!!!

It reminds me of when they spent quite a bit of time making fun of Randy Travis when that video of his naked drunken driving arrest. I'm not even a country music fan and knew of Randy Travis's medical issues and that he'd probably never be able to drive again anyway let alone speak normally. It wouldn't have taken them even a minute to Google and find out the same things about him. I agree about their lack of preparation being worse than The View's. At least The View is getting a little bit better about it by having the hosts make corrections about things while episodes are still airing.

[Jaded]

Coming back to say that I didn't have an issue with the ladies relating the dance topic back to the #Me Too movement. The kids going to the dance are in 6th grade and I think that's old enough for the boys to learn that girls have the right to say no and that the girls learn that saying no to boys is fine to do too. That the school and school district thinks it's perfectly ok to force young girls to dance with boys even if they don't want to makes me mad for those girls. I wonder how many girls are avoiding that dance because they know about that rule? If any of them are abuse survivors as I was at that age they shouldn't have to deal with being forced to dance with anyone they don't want to. That was around the age the middle school I went to had it's first dance which I skipped. It isn't how any boys or girls should be introduced to dance etiquette.

I was in the doctor's office waiting room and they called me back before the discussion of Amy Schumer.  Could somebody fill me in please?  Thanks!

Whose idea was it to have Piers Morgan on the show today spewing his bullshit? I'm no fan of Omarosa, but hearing him call her the worst person to have working in the White House was beyond ridiculous. I know that he's friends with Trump, but come on. Also, the fact that the rest of the hosts, especially Julie Chen (an actual journalist) just sat there and let him go off like that, unchallenged, was highly disappointing. Piers' sordid history as a tabloid reporter is well known, just google it- he is morally repugnant.

He's been a Top Talker on the show a few times over the years and his li- I mean, story, has to do with someone currently in the BB house so I see why he came on. The hosts didn't act like they believed or agreed with what he said, but what did bother me was that Piers waited until Omarosa was in the house and couldn't defend herself to tell this story and TPTB were equally as wrong for it too.

People just live to be offended these days.

Oh, about the SJP/Kim Cattrall story, I thought they covered everything. The one sentence they left out was where Kim said her mom called SJP "a hypocrite", but they mentioned Kim's initial tweet about her brother's passing, SJP sending her condolences and Kim's response. And thankfully Sara said just because Sharon said the church wrote a check doesn't mean it actually happened. I haven't watched a whole episode of The View in a long time, but one of the main reasons I stopped watching regularly (besides Elisabeth's nuttiness and Whoopi's everything) was because of the lack of fact-checking before discussions on certain topics. Especially when it pertained to more serious/political topics. Discussion and debate is great, but what's the point of talking about something if you don't have all the info? You say they've gotten better about that so that's good. There's no hope for the likes of Wendy Williams, but that's another story for another day. Lol.

I hope Carnie comes back to guest host tomorrow, but something tells me the troll will be back. *sigh*

The ladies of the real covered the SJP/Kim Cattrall story fairly.  One of the co-hosts, even said that the initial friction between them was due to jealousy.  Kim had a bona fide movie career before sex and the city, Plus, she was such a scene stealer and commanded attention. As a viewer of the show, I loved Samantha's quips.

Watching today’s shows first segment (about the school shootings) had me in tears. Julie was even having a very hard time telling it without breaking down and she is usually Uber professional. It’s just sad (the news).

I feel Eve is out of her element, and thus, awkward. It's like I can see the wheels turning in her head as she's preparing to ask a question or contribute to the discussion. I don't like the way she enthusiastically  nods her head and claps after each point.

However, I thought she was very cool when she performed with Julie and when I saw her on the Grammys. Music is her genre and she's clearly more at ease in that format.

I think that she is trying to find her way. I remember how much I hated Sheryl and thought that she was a walking, talking, stereotype. Being black, I am very sensitive to that.. Boy was I wrong,  I find Sheryl to be so much more than that. She is my favorite on the show. So, I am giving Eve a chance, even though she claps, like a seal. I did not care for Julie either, after what went down with Holly and Leah, but, her friendship with Aisha really endeared her to me.  I wish that Sarah would open up more.  I love that she knows that she is considered boring, by a lot of people and is cool with that.  She pokes fun of herself and she is also a very sensitive person, whenever Sarah cries, I cry. Having said all that, I will never like the redheaded clown, what a phony!

I agree with your assessment of each of the ladies (except Eve). 

I think Sheryl and Sara are intrinsically  good humans. Aisha and Julie are fun, I think.

I feel Eve is out of her element, and thus, awkward. It's like I can see the wheels turning in her head as she's preparing to ask a question or contribute to the discussion. I don't like the way she enthusiastically  nods her head and claps after each point.

However, I thought she was very cool when she performed with Julie and when I saw her on the Grammys. Music is her genre and she's clearly more at ease in that format.

She's definitely awkward and out of her element, but I don't know. There's something about her that makes her awkwardness endearing to me. There are times that I see her opening up and doing a better job and then others where she's a bit unsure of herself. I like what she said about running towards her fear and confronting it instead of letting it keep her back. I think another reason I've warmed to her is because she reminds me of one of my cousins. They both do that thing where they laugh and cover their mouth with their hand/fist. She doesn't clap like a seal though. ;)

Based on watching some recent episodes, it makes total sense why Eve was selected.. because she won't upstage anyone.  Aisha was thoughtful and added a different perspective and I'm sure some of the other women wanted to make sure that wouldn't happen again.

In regards to the whole dance debate regarding the 6th graders, rejection is a part of life and kids have to learn it in order to function and survive in the real world.  That's how I would have phrased my argument for why it is ok for girls to say no to boys.  Plus, why take anyone's right to say no or to question rules and traditions.. it is the hallmark of the United states.

The Talk comes on right after Days of Our Lives, so I often stick around to watch the beginning, but rarely watch an entire show.

I liked Aisha a lot, and miss her. I'd never heard of Eve before, so knew nothing about her before she came on the show.  And I still don't.  I find the others will speak their comments, and after a while I'll realize Eve hasn't said a word.  I hadn't thought much about it till y'all mentioned it, but I have noticed her clapping and nodding more than speaking.  Comparing Eve to the newbie on The View, though, I'll take the quiet any day. ?

That's Sharon's doing. She's the only one who would openly roll her eyes at Aisha and go out of her way to disagree with most of what she said. She didn't like Holly either. Intelligent women (especially women of color) who don't kiss her ass and agree with her every word annoy her. Eve isn't dumb, but she is nervous and holds back a lot so Sharon doesn't see her as a threat.
