CBS executives are reportedly panicking over The Talk's ratings drop

Page Six

The CBS daytime show now has half the viewership of its ABC rival, or 1.5 million to The View's 3 million. "The View has been growing at a huge rate during the COVID lockdown, and The Talk is literally the lowest-rated show in the whole CBS lineup," a source tells Page Six. "At one point, The Talk and The View were only 30,000 viewers apart … Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood’s plan of getting rid of Marie Osmond was clearly a mistake in terms of ratings and number of viewers.” Page Six adds that "the CBS insider said the rotating host roster — which includes Amanda Kloots, Rumer Willis and Elaine Welteroth, who is stepping in to replace Eve — has not been delivering numbers, leaving producers and executives 'panicked and frustrated.'"
