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.

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?
