Natalie Morales is leaving NBC to join a mess called “The Talk”

Veteran NBC host Natalie Morales leaves the network after two decades to join CBS’s troubled daytime show The speech. The daily mail reports that Morales, 49, broke the news in an email to Today and Date line staff members that it was time to “spread my own wings and pursue a new adventure”. The speech has certainly been an adventure. Sharon Osbourne was ousted from the show amid allegations of fanatic behavior she denied, and Carrie Ann Inaba recently made an extended absence from the set permanent. Actor Jerry O’Connell joined the series in July.
