Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large With ten minutes to go before “The Talk” signed off for good, the champagne was already flowing on set. “The Talk” ended its 15-year run on Friday with one final live episode, and the show’s producers ended the show’s run by gathering its cast and crew on stage for a final, celebratory toast.

The crowd hit the stage to celebrate alongside hosts Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood, as they gave their last farewell. “We thank you all for watching and laughing, sometimes even crying along with us,” Morales said. “We thank everyone for being here with us.

Our wonderful crew here with us every day, to the producing team, to our wonderful, loyal audience. So many of you who have filled these seats day after day, time after time.

Our wonderful executive producers past and present. To the most wonderful people here in daytime, we’re going to miss you all so much.” Added Underwood: “We thank God for 15 amazing seasons.
