JOURNALIST AND TELEVISION ANCHOR NATALIE MORALES JOINS "THE TALK"

As announced live today on THE TALK, journalist and television anchor Natalie Morales is joining as new host of the Daytime Emmy Award-winning talk show. Morales will debut live on the CBS Original series THE TALK Monday, Oct. 11, alongside hosts Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Jerry O'Connell and Sheryl Underwood.

"We couldn't be more excited to have Natalie Morales join the TALK family," said executive producers Heather Gray and Kristin Matthews. "We have been fans of her and her work for years. Her varied skillset and versatility are a great addition to our talented panel. Natalie's intelligence, passion and enthusiasm always shine through in all her work, and we are fortunate to have her on the team. In addition to her role as an exceptional broadcaster, we believe her perspective as a wife and mother will provide a special connection with our audience."

"It's an extraordinary opportunity to be joining this team at THE TALK," said Morales. "I love the new energy and direction and couldn't be more excited to join Sheryl, Amanda, Jerry and Akbar. I'm looking forward to many good times while talking about the days' topics, and I can't wait to get going."

Most recently, Morales was the West Coast anchor of NBC News' "Today," correspondent for "Dateline NBC," and anchor of "Behind Closed Doors with Natalie Morales." She previously served as host of "Access" and co-host of "Access Live," as well as news anchor of "Today," where she co-hosted the show's third hour. Morales joined "Today" in 2006 as a national correspondent and reported across all of NBCUniversal News' platforms, including "NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt" and MSNBC.

In a "Today" first, Morales followed 20 children from the class of 2020 - all of whom were born a year after 9/11 - from their first day of kindergarten to graduation, amid a global pandemic nonetheless. In addition to hosting "At Home with Natalie," Morales contributed to several major breaking news stories, including the sexual harassment scandals, the 2017 Las Vegas massacre, the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing, and the rescue of the Chilean Miners in 2010 (coverage that was seen worldwide and recognized with a 2010 National Headliner Award). In August 2008, Morales had the exclusive jailhouse interview with the infamous Clark Rockefeller. Her other notable reports include the 2009 presidential inauguration; Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005; the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami; the death of Pope John Paul II in 2005; and the election of Pope Francis in 2013. She also reported on the royal wedding in 2011 and the birth of Prince George in 2013.

As a part of the Shine a Light campaign in 2014, Morales ran in the Boston Marathon and raised over $70,000 for victims of the 2013 bombing. Morales has won three Daytime Emmy Awards as part of "Today's" recognition as the best morning news program. She won a Robert F. Kennedy Award in international journalism for her report on Honduran lobster divers for "Rock Center with Brian Williams" in June 2013. She has won three Gracie Awards, one for Outstanding Series for her "Dateline NBC" special, "My Kid Would Never," and two for her reporting in 2016 and 2017.

Morales, who speaks Spanish and Portuguese, was born in Taiwan and spent much of the first 18 years of her life living overseas in Panama, Brazil and Spain as an Air Force "brat." She graduated summa cum laude from Rutgers University with a bachelor's degree in journalism and Latin American studies and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two sons.

THE TALK airs weekdays (2:00-3:00 PM, ET; 1:00-2:00 PM, PT/CT) on the CBS Television Network and is available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+. THE TALK is produced by CBS Studios.

CBS' Daytime Emmy Award-winning talk show THE TALK features a panel of entertainment personalities discussing current events, pop culture, family, celebrity and trending topics of the day. The daily one-hour series is hosted by Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O'Connell and Sheryl Underwood. The hosts exchange stories and share their opinions on issues and events in the headlines. The show also features celebrity guest interviews, musical performances and cooking segments, as well as human interest stories. Multi-Daytime Emmy Award winners Heather Gray and Kristin Matthews are executive producers/showrunners with Ed Horwitz, Steve Cunniff and Anjeanette Taylor serving as co-executive producers. THE TALK has earned 11 Daytime Emmy Awards (including Outstanding Talk Show Entertainment 2016, 2018; writing 2015; host 2017) and 56 nominations. THE TALK also won the People's Choice Award (2016) for Daytime TV Hosting Team and the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Talk Series (2016).
