Q: What’s up with the changes at “The Talk?” Why are Holly and Leah leaving? They’re my two favorites. – Sharon, 69, Pittsburgh A: It appears that co-stars Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete are leaving CBS’ “The Talk,” but as to why they’re leaving, who knows? One tabloid report says the two are fed up with the “queen-bee attitude” of Julie Chen, while the same report quoted another source as saying Remini was “a disruptive force.” So take your pick as to what you want to believe.
I’m not sure the reason matters. Cast changes at daytime shows are nothing new. Just look at the turnover at ABC’s “The View” over the years. Change happens.
Q: I try to log on to see what questions and answers people have for you and I am almost always seeing stories or comments about shows being canceled, etc. Do you know of a website or anything where one could look to see what has been canceled? A reader mentioned that “Lopez Tonight” was canceled, and I didn’t know that. Just curious. Thanks. – Terry, 43, Butler, Pa.
A: Although I don’t know of a website that only chronicles shows that have been canceled, there are dozens of entertainment-news websites that chronicle all sorts of TV news, including what shows have been canceled.
Q: How are the ratings for Keith Olbermann since the move to Current TV? – Maria, 57
A: Olbermann’s ratings are not great, but that may have more to do with the lack of wide distribution for Current TV.
