The CBS network is making major changes with their daytime show The Talk with new additions Kris Jenner (the Kardashian mom/manager) and Comedienne Sheryl Underwood. They are replacing Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete. Sharon Osborne is only returning on a limited basis. What the heck is going on? Why would they dump Holly Robinson Peete? She brought class and intelligence to this show, which is basically a rip off of The View. In a carefully worded statement, CBS just said her contract was not renewed. Holly was told to clean out her dressing room, but she’s still under contract. That’s keeping her from getting other work. There have been reports of clashes on the set. The leader of the show, Moderator Julie Chen, is married to CBS Boss Les Moonves. Word has it Chen didn’t want anyone talking about news events except her. There were also problems with Remini bringing family members to work everyday. I am so disappointed in their decision to replace Holly. I hope CBS clears up this mess so she can land another gig soon.
