As Brian Steinberg points out, "Chen might find taking part in some broadcasts of The Talk awkward, particularly because the hosts occasionally talk about their personal lives. This week’s episodes would be particularly excruciating for anyone in her situation." Steinberg adds: "Staying on Big Brother might be an easier assignment for Chen, who has been the host of the U.S. version of the program since it debuted in 2000. The job does not require personal disclosure, but straight reporting on the actions of the participants in the show, who must live together in a house while under constant surveillance, as well as interviews with them."

Could Rosie O'Donnell or Carrie Ann Inaba replace Julie Chen on The Talk?

O'Donnell and Inaba are both guest-hosting the CBS daytime talk show on Friday when it will be without Sara Gilbert. Chen last week endorsed Dancing with the Stars judge Inaba to replace her, saying to Inaba in her videotaped farewell message: “In my opinion you look awfully good sitting there, my Asian sister. I’m just saying!” But insiders say O'Donnell, who served two short-lived stints as The View co-host, "would make for dramatic headlines, and would get the most attention, and produce the biggest first-day-on-job ratings," according to Deadline's Lisa de Moraes. While some sources tell de Moraes that they don't see O'Donnell returning to the daytime talk show grind, Rosie hinted she might be up for permanently replacing Chen. When one Twitter user said that O'Donnell wouldn't want to move from the East Coast to Los Angeles where The Talk tapes, Rosie responded: "perhaps i would."
