After 15 successful seasonsit’s time to talk about the ending Conversation.
Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Klotts, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood are preparing to say goodbye to the long-running CBS series on Friday, December 20. However, ahead of this final episode, the hosts look back on their most memorable experiences on daytime TV.
“We have and had such great chemistry,” Morales, 52, said exclusively Us Weekly on the eve of the show’s series finale. “I think it always comes down to your team and your chemistry, and we all bring something so unique and different. I think everyone has such a unique experience.”
Klutts, 42, joined the show in 2021 and is already asking for enough napkins to last her last week of filming.
Since its premiere in 2010, “Razmova” has become one of the daytime TV channels. The show first aired with Sarah Gilbert, Holly Robinson Peet, Leah Remini, Julie Chen and Sharon Osbourne as co-hosts, but the panel has changed several times since then. The show returned for season 11 in September 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. Osborne, (…)
“I feel like every day is going to be full of emotion,” she said us. “I think every day they will highlight us with editing. Editing always gets me. I think every day will be difficult.”
Before the last farewell, Kluts and her colleagues were able to talk with us and share their favorite memories of filming the daytime talk show. They also talked about what’s next for them as they stay in the entertainment industry — and continue their group chat.
“These are friends forever,” O’Connell, 50, announced. “I don’t think it’s over. It’s funny when work ends because you have to go out and make plans now to see each other. But it will be funny when we see the story we usually talk about at work. I’m going to send it to you guys!”
Sheryl Underwood
For nearly 13 years, Underwood, 61, has brought her humor and perspective Conversation.
“We learned a lot from each other,” the comedian said us before embarking on his comedy tour in 2025. “I look at it as a big evolution. It’s time for us. Phenomenal journalist (Natalie), actor, father (Jerry). You are talking about a Broadway star (Amanda). Akbar, football player. I come in the second season. We came on time. We did what had to be done. And now beneficence for great works.’
Before leaving the studio for good, Underwood joked that she was going to borrow holiday decor from the set.
“See the Christmas tree behind you? It will look like the ribs on the Flintstones car,” she joked. “I’m going to put it right on top of my car.”
Akbar Gbajabiamila
While the former NFL player enjoyed creating memorable moments with special guests such as Kelly Rowland, Steve Harvey and Mantel JordanGbajabiamila, 45, will remember friends who made him a better host and colleague.
“I’m going to miss watching Natalie, her professionalism and the way she handles things,” he said. American Ninja Warrior said the owner us. “She always watched and just admired from afar. The camaraderie that I have with Amanda. We’re closest in our chairs, and there are no people like that in Los Angeles. Just this cool guy from the Midwest who’s very relatable.”
Gbajabyamila called O’Connell a “cool cheerleader” and praised Underwood’s invaluable advice that it’s about “consistency” and “chemistry” in daytime television.
Natalie Morales
Morales is grateful Conversation allowed her to “let loose and have fun” when so many viewers were used to seeing her “News Natalie.”
She is also happy that the show was a place where celebrities could visit and feel comfortable.
“Whenever people come in here, they just love being able to just connect with us,” Morales explained. “Our guests have always just appreciated that it’s not just a show. This is not a show to get a headline. We’re here to let them be free and have fun with us, and we have fun every day.”
Morales plans to continue with CBS and is expected to make more appearances on 48 hours, CBS Morning and other programs.
Amanda Klotts
If you look at all the guests who appeared on ConversationKluts can’t believe she met her childhood sweetheart.
“I loved kale Mark McGrath was on the show, she said us. “I had a picture of him on my high school schedule and I told him on the air, ‘You were my high school sweetheart!’ And also Zach Morris (Mark-Paul Gasselaar) when he was on our show. It’s so funny hanging out with these people that I never missed a Saturday morning in high school Saved by the bell. The same with Tiffany Thiessen when she was here.’
Looking to the future, Kluts will continue to work in health and wellness and be a host Living on the Other Side with Tyler Henry on Netflix.
Jerry O’Connell
While O’Connell enjoyed interviewing celebrities and talking to his hosts, he wanted to give special praise to Conversationwardrobe department.
“The clothes we wear are so cool,” he said us. “Now when I go to lunch with my wife, she’s going to be really disappointed because it’s going to be me again, my ripped T-shirts and my dirty vans.”
Looking ahead, O’Connell is excited to start taking drama classes. He will also continue to be a volleyball dad to his 15-year-old twin daughters Charlie and Dolly.
“It’s hard to get my kids to play volleyball. They are no longer in it,” he said. “I just have teenage daughters who said yesterday, ‘We’re thinking of quitting.’ (And I said) “Well, what about the last four years of my life and driving you around?” What of it?”
Conversation airs on CBS weekdays at 2:00 PM ET/1:00 PM PT, with its final episode scheduled for Friday, December 20.
