Jeanne Jakle at chron.com reports, The Talk, described as CBS' version of The View, debuts at 1 p.m. Monday in the time slot vacated by canceled soap As the World Turns.
The live show will feature five — and sometimes six - female celebrities weighing in on the news and pop culture and what's happening in their own households.
Is there room for two sets of women chatting on daytime television?
The stars of The Talk - Sharon Osbourne, Sara Gilbert, Leah Remini, Holly Robinson Peete, Julie Chen and Marissa Jaret Winokur (who'll be out in the field and not on the panel much of the time) - clearly think so.
"There are several women sitting around a table," said Gilbert, who's also the show's executive producer.
"But in the same way that David Letterman sits at a desk or Jay Leno sits at a desk, there are formats that people use in talk shows. So we're using one of those formats."
In distinguishing their show from The View, Gilbert and her co-hosts emphasized the mom angle in a meeting with television critics. All are mothers, with children ranging in ages from infancy to adult, and their conversations will reflect that. In fact, Gilbert said the show grew out of a mom group she began attending after giving birth to her daughter.
