Deadline is reporting funny gal Aisha Tyler has been added to The Talk as a regular co-host. According to the site, Tyler, who was a guest host on the show previously, begins today on the CBS chatfest full-time.
As previously reported, ABC had a talker in development for Tyler, but passed on it. Tyler rounds out The Talk's panelists with Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood and showrunner Sara Gilbert.

Looks like CBS is trying to pull out all the stops to revamp The Talk. Deadline is reporting funny gal Molly Shannon is heading to the CBS gabfest. According to the site, Shannon will be a guest co-host the entire month of September, along with the original hosts Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne and newcomer Sheryl Underwood.  

Are we really suppose to believe CBS isn't trying to make this hot mess a rip-off of The View? Three comics on ABC's chatfest, three comic actors on CBS'? How long will we have to wait for Sara and Sheryl to get into a smackdown over politics? Here's hoping Molly's Saturday Night Live buddy Tina Fey creates a sitcom to rescue her from the madness.

It's that time of year again! The Talk co-host Julie Chen will be pulling TV double duty hosting the popular, hot mess reality series Big Brother again on CBS. Big Brother 13 is scheduled to premiere July 7 and of course, I will be blogging about this show (including live feed updates) just like I did last year. For now, CBS is whetting fan appetite by giving us a glimpse at the new house. Will you guys be watching everyone acting a fool this season on Big Brother?

CBS has renewed The Talk for another season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. CBS' answer to ABC's The View has held steady in the ratings, averaging 2.2 million viewers since its debut. Check out what Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment, had to say about The Talk after the jump.

After only a few months on the air, The Talk has delivered creative and ratings growth and established a strong profile in daytime. The co-hosts have clicked together, the topics have connected with the audience and the show has added a new dimension to our top-rated daytime line-up.  We're excited about its current success and the potential to grow and evolve 'The Talk' even further.

 I wonder if this will have any effect on the rest of daytime, i.e. the soaps?

Surprising no one with any pop-culture acumen, reviews for the debut of The Talk on CBS have been overwhelmingly negative. The series jumped off with a predictably dull premiere this week, featuring the insipid collaboration of Julie Chen, Leah Remini, Sara Gilbert, Holly Robinson Peete and Sharon Osbourne, and an irrelevant and uninteresting interview with Christie Brinkley. Seriously, who iwaswaiting for an interview with Christie Brinkley?!

The show would have you know it's "nothing at all like The View" and you know what? We all completely agree. The View is watchable most days, if as nothing else, a televised trainwreck. We've already shared what some critics have said, but check out more blistering reviews after the jump:  READ MORE
