“The Talk” goes on hiatus after controversy between host Sharon Osbourne and co-hosts

CBS’s The Talk is going on hiatus following co-host Sharon Osbourne’s defense of Piers Morgan during last Wednesday’s episode of the show. Osbourne, 68, defended her friend Morgan following backlash for his controversial remarks questioning the validity of Meghan Markle’s comments during her recent interview with Oprah Winfrey.  Osbourne’s defense of Morgan led to an intense exchange with co-host Sheryl Underwood, 57, who pushed back on Osbourne’s downplaying of Morgan’s comments. Osbourne apologized days later for her remarks on air.  CBS confirmed that The Talk would be taking a brief hiatus while the network conducts an internal investigation into the argument.
