Julie Chen Seems Nice, Rational

The great thing about being married to CBS boss Les Moonves is you get to pretend you’re the queen of a lame CBS talk show you co-host with three other women. I’m looking at you, Julie Chen.

Julie co-hosts The Talk with Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Sharon Osbourne. Well, I should say used to because just recently she warned them, “My husband Les Moonves can fire your asses any day.” Page Six says this has left execs “essentially neutered.” Whatever. Execs are pretty much useless anyway.

Big time serious reporter Julie has since fired Leah Remini, caused Sharon Osbourne to quit and may soon have Holly Robinson Peete fired. In sort of a lateral move, she’s replaced them with Kris Jenner and Sheryl Underwood.

Her latest demand was the addition of Kris Jenner, and Sheryl Underwood to replace Holly Robinson Peete. “It’s the Les Moonves show starring his annoying wife,” a source griped. Peete was told to “clean out her dressing room” last week but had not been released from her CBS contract as of last night. “They don’t want to look bad for firing her,” a source said. “But she can’t look for other work.” A show insider said, “There’s going to be tension on the show because of the casting changes.” Leah Remini has been shown the door and Sharon Osbourne quit in protest of Chen’s demand she not speak about the Casey Anthony trial because she is not a news reporter. — Page Six

If I was Julie Chen, I’d be drunk with power too. Professionalism wouldn’t even be in my vocab. I would look at Kris Jenner, tell her I’m thirsty and she damn well better get me a glass of wine or else she gets the axe. Of course, my husband Les Moonves wouldn’t say anything either because I’d give the best bj’s. These lips don’t quit, son! No h**o.

Even when I watch Big Brother, I’m like, “Julie Chen hurry up and be quiet and get out the way so I can watch the show.” I know every one is important, but watching her is like sitting thru the commercials and trailers at a movie theater. You’re just bidding your time until the good stuff comes along. It’s okay not to be the star of the show, but don’t embarrass yourself by pretending you are when so many others see and clearly know that you aren’t.

Julie Chen has slept her way into every job she’s ever had. She’s a complete embarrassment to women. As much as I don’t care for Barbara Walters, she earned her career by hard work. Ditto Katie Couric, Oprah Winfrey – the list goes on. All Julie Chen had to do was spread her legs to get the Early Show co-host gig (by that time she was sleeping with Les Moonves, who was married for 30 years.) She broke up his marriage and first family. She banged the boss to get Big Brother AND to get The Talk. Chen is disgusting.… Read more »

I agree with Sarah’s comment up above. It cracks me up to how boring, spineless, no talent Sara Gilbert invented the concept of The Talk which is a complete rip off of The View. Speaking of The View, I have a newfound respect for Barbara Walters. Say what you want about Babs, she worked her butt off for her career. Julie Chen, owes her entire career for the work she did on her back. No WAY, am I going to sit back and stand for what she did the Leah and Holly!!!! Leah, Holly and Sharon need to go to… Read more »

Uh, actually Barbara Walters slept her way all up and down the showbiz ladder since the late 1950’s and loudly admitted as such in her book. She makes the whore Julie Chen look like Mother Teresa.

I think this whole thing is sad. It will not be a show worth watching anymore. I have now deleted The Talk from my season pass and will really miss the show. I hope to see Leah, Holly and Sharon on something else soon.

I watched this show for the entertainment of Leah, Holly and Sharon. I will not be watching it anymore. I too, hated when Julie Cben talked. I wanted her to snit up, so I could laugh with the other women. What a shame!!! This show was so funny and entertaining.. Why does Julie have to be so jealous of others getting more attention? She needs to leave the show, though I think this will be the last season, as the ratings will drop!!!!!

“She’s not as nice as people think she is.” I always knee she was not a nice person [insert explicit adjective here] On big brother, there is just something about her that looks EVIL. I don’t know how to explain it. On the talk, which I only watched a couple of times, she was dry and boring. Honestly I only watched it because of Leah Remini because I loved her on King of Queens. Holly Robinson Peete was like the nice one, and Sharon was honest and funny. Kris Jenner is the WORST replacement I have ever heard of. If… Read more »

I won’t watch the Talk again. Leah, Sharon and Holly were the only reason I watched to begin with. The three of them could have their own show and I hope they do. I can’t imagine Kris Jenner taking the place of either of the three ladies. I’m sorry Julie but if you think Kris Jenner is going to boost ratings I’m afraid you’re so sadly mistaken. I’ve noticed a change in Julie the last three episodes of Big Brother and on The Talk as well. Every time a new show comes on and people love it and can really… Read more »

i agree with previous posts, the best thing about the talk were leah, holly & sharon. I hope they get their own talk show somewhere else. Chenbot is so insecure, geez, I hate Kris Jenner & her clan. I can’t believe the stooped so low.

I agree with most of the previous posts. I just saw the 1st show of the 2nd season and yes, it’s not the same. It lacks the fun, the excitement, the joy of getting to know each and every host. Personally, I don’t like Leah but you guys are right. Leah, Holly and Sharon did make the show entertaining and you can see the chemistry between these ladies. I gave this show a shot and now I’m not interested in watching, Sheryl Underwood, Molly Shannon or any other replacement. It’s really sad to see millions on this show go to… Read more »

I love Leah!! I just love her and every show she has been on. King of queens rocks, still till this day!! She is so funny. People that is the real Leah, if you were a fan you would know. She keeps it real. That is why Julie Chen, the whore is so jealous. When I found out about The Talk show and that Leah Remini, and Sharon Osbourne were two of the host I was so excited. It was already October so I didn’t get to see the premiere but it didn’t matter I just knew I would love… Read more »

I agree with all of the above. I record big brother and fast forward when Julie Chen is on. They show more of her than the contestants on the show. I started to change my view of her after watching the talk. Leah and Holly made her appear more intertaining. Big mistake letting them both go. If she thought she carried the show herself and did not need them, she was so wrong.

I was so disapointed when I tuned on to watch the Talk and saw that Leah and Holly were not there. Leah, Holly and Sharon are why I watched and had decided that I enjoyed The Talk as much as the View (or more). I deleted it from my DVR and will not watch again. Cannot believe that on one was allowed to talk about the Casey Anthony trial if Chen was not there. I am sorry, this is not a Journalism Show, it is entertainment. And I think we can all agree, Chen is not ENTERTAINING. I think that… Read more »

Isn’t it funny that there isn’t one supportive comment of the change that took place? Not a good move, CBS. It’s been so hard watching MS. Chen, knowing what kind of a person she really is wielding so much power because she literally slept to the top. After a suitable time has passed, I wish the View would offer them both a substitute slot or at least give them a chance at their table as a guest co-host. Wouldn’t Julie’s mind be blown seeing them at Ms. Walter’s table.. Sarah, altho I like her as a person, is useless on… Read more »

I too only watched the show because of Leah, Holly and Sharon. Have deleted from my DVR and will no longer watch. Funny how everyone has the same opinion of Julie Chen and What’s the other girls name, thats how boring she was. I liked Jukie on the morning news, but have detested her since she started Big Brother and cringed everyone she opened her month on the View, oh I’m sorry the Talk. They are both the same show it seems. I can’t stand to even see her, I think she’s ugly and the way she moves her hands… Read more »

I cannot believe Lean and Holly got fired, they absolutely made the show along with Sharon. Today was the first time I watched the show this week. I had to get one line to see what has happened. Why were they fired? As many others have said…I will know longer watch The Talk know matter who takes over for Leah and Holly, come on Mrs O, follow suit and leave and sit back and watch the show and Connie Chung go down the tube. I’ll be watching for Leah,Holly and Sharon on their new show, you three are excellent together.… Read more »

R. Moore,
I agree with you 100% but it is not Connie
Chung, although she would not be as 2 faced
and egotistical as Julie ” the phony” Chen.
Wait until the show bombs she will blame
everyone but herself. Sara sleeps through the
show and stole the View format. We will not
see season 3.

I agree with all the above posts, Holly, Leah and Sharon were the ones
who made THE TALK fun to watch. I enjoyed it, but will not be watching
anymore. CBS you made a big mistake letting these ladies go.

I agree with all of the above comments. Leah, Holly & Sharon definitely made the show. I was shocked when season 2 began and no comments made on why Leah, & Holly did not return. That shows me there is no respect for the viewers.

Julie Chen, you made a huge mistake. I,along with all of my friends will not be watching The Talk ever again. When Leah & Holly were on, I enjoyed watching, but no more. In fact, I can’t even stand to look at Julie Chen.

I have been a loyal fan of CBS forever! First, they took off Guiding Light, then As the World Turns. Now they’ve ruined The Talk by getting rid of the most entertaining hosts on the show!! Julie Chen should stick to news reporting! She’s way too stiff and formal for a morning talk show! I have taken The Talk off of my DVR.

Julie is really giving Asian women a really bad rep. I don’t know what it is, but it appears to me when they get together with white powerful men. They becomes the biggest B’s. Gosh! Case and point.. Wendi Deng..Zhang Ziyi etc.
