“The Talk,” with from left, Leah Remini, Sara Gilbert, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Holly Robinson Peete, Sharon Osbourne and Julie Chen will air on CBS.

‘Talk’ hosts differ on airing personal lives

– Sara Gilbert, producer and co-host of the new CBS daytime show “The Talk,” said she will share her life as a lesbian partner and mom on the air when it seems right.

But Leah Remini, among the six co-hosts, said she has no plans to make her religion, Scientology, part of the show.

“Not at all,” Remini told a session of the Television Critics Association, adding, “I love to make people laugh, entertain them. That other thing is something that is not even part of my discussion.”

Asked about whether “The Talk” would echo ABC’s “The View,” another daytime talk show with female hosts, Gilbert said that shows can have the same format but differ in nature, citing the David Letterman-Jay Leno late night programs.

Gilbert has two children with her partner, Allison Adler. The actress was asked why a news release announcing the CBS show listed the partners of the other co-hosts, all straight, but not hers.

Gilbert replied that the decision was hers and that a network news release wasn’t the first place she wanted to launch a discussion of her personal life.

Julie Chen, who is giving up her “Early Show” job to join “The Talk,” said the show will be a discussion of motherhood and more. All the hosts, including Sharon Osbourne and actresses Holly Robinson Peete and Marissa Jaret Winokur, are parents.

“The Talk” will replace “As the World Turns” when the soap opera concludes its 54-year run in September.
