'The Talk' comes to an end after 15 years: How to watch the final episode


The CBS talk show "The Talk" is coming to an end after 15 seasons, countless celebrity guests and a rotating panel of beloved hosts.

Debuting in October of 2010 with original presenter and creator Sara Gilbert, "The Talk" saw several prominent names sit in the hosting chairs over the years, including Sharon Osbourne, Leah Remini, Julie Chen, Marie Osmond and more.

Now, the show is preparing for a final "celebratory sendoff" with celebrity guest Howie Mandel and more "surprises" to come, according to a CBS teaser.
