Andy Cohen recently got too honest with Jerry O’Connell and criticized O’Connell’s “The Talk” co-host saying he was the only host carrying the talk show. Cohen told O’Connell that CBS “should have doubled” his salary and insisted to viewers that there would be no “The Talk” without him.
O’Connell recently became a regular co-host on the show after serving as guest and guest host for several years. Her co-hosts include Sheryl Underwood, Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots and Natalie Morales. O’Connell defended her co-host, saying they love each other and are all friends in the studio.
O’Connell is the first man to become a regular co-host on a previously female show. She joined shortly after the show fired Sharon Osbourne for her controversial comments about racism and her public defense of Piers Morgan. He also updated his time on the show to fans, teasing them about what to expect.
