Is Julie Chen on the verge of being evicted from her own daytime talk show? The Talk co-host was once again M.I.A. during Monday’s broadcast, extending her leave of absence in the wake of Les Moonves’ firing into Week 2.

Chen’s continued absence was not addressed by her fellow Talk panelists and guest host Carnie Wilson, who instead discussed Carrie Underwood’s tearful CBS Sunday Morning interview and Mike Seidel’s dramatic hurricane coverage for The Weather Channel at the top of the Monday’s show.

” Mike Seidel’s dramatic hurricane coverage for The Weather Channel”

I know it’s of topic but if it’s drama your looking for look no further than The Weather Channel........WOW

Does anyone other than her agent, husband and nanny care?

Standing-by your predator husband is only allowed for Hillary Clinton and Huma.

[lee martell]

I suspect the world will keep on turning, even if she never returns to that show!

[Dilbert San Diego]

I think I heard “The Talk” is the CBS version of “The View”???

[Red Badger]

Who is she and why should I care?...................

They are probably afraid that one of the show’s other uber-Feminist panelists is going to rip her a new one, live on the air.

[ealgeone]

No one here does!

[lee martell]

Yes, it is. Same Whine, but different bottles.

Hey, staying with him enabled her to get two top shows, probably worth close to 10 million/year.

“They are probably afraid that one of the show’s other uber-Feminist panelists is going to rip her a new one, live on the air.”

My first thought, too. Those FemiNazis are VICIOUS and even if her husband’s wanderings happened before their marriage, she won’t get a pass from them.

[bgill]

No.

[publana]

My exact question. I read the article and did bot recognize a single name mentioned, then saw “CBS”. Oh. No wonder. I haven’t watched CBS in 30 or 40 years. Nope. I don’t care and doubt that many others do either. 😉

[ptsal]

She knew

[mewzilla]

She’s the second Mrs. Moonves. And she knew what she was getting.

Yep, two prime time shows and over 10 million/year.

[Mr. K]

The only Chen I care about is Joan Chen.

Seeing her flopping around braless in ‘Tai-Pan’ filled many a nice dream.

[Sasparilla]

Nobody at CBS anymore there to protect her.
Time to move to the house in the Hamptons and spend the millions.

For those worse affected, it ain’t drama - it’s a real problem.
