Actress Holly Robinson Peete is excited that 'The Talk,' the mommy-oriented chat show she hosts alongside Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne and Leah Remini, has been renewed for a second season.
"I am beyond thrilled that CBS has delivered such a tremendous vote of confidence to 'The Talk' with a renewal pick up order for 2011-2012," Peete told BlackVoices.com.
The 46-year-old talent, who had a career resurgence since becoming the runner-up on season three of Donald Trump's 'Celebrity Apprentice,' desires to maintain quality programming for their core demographic.
"I hope we will continue to resonate as authentic mommy-friends weighing in on topical issues with both humor and heart," she expressed.Having starred on television shows like '21 Jump Street,' 'For Your Love,' 'Hangin' with Mr. Cooper' and 'Love, Inc.,' working on 'The Talk' was Peete's first foray into the talk show realm.
"I'm still just a rookie in this daytime game but I am loving the daily live connection with our viewers," she said.
The Philadelphia-bred talent is married to retired NFL star Rodney Peete and the couple has four children.
Their son, Rodney Jr., was diagnosed with autism at age three and Peete has since been on the frontlines of raising awareness for the condition.
