Sharon Osbourne, the former co-host of CBS’ The Talk who left the daytime show last month after a heated on-air debate about racism, will get a chance to explain why when she guests on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher this week.
Osbourne will be Maher’s top-of-show solo interview on Friday’s episode, Real Time said today.
The appearance will mark Osbourne’s first extended TV interview since the controversy — she was not part of Monday’s episode of The Talk devoted entirely to a discussion of the incident and racism in general. On that episode, co-hosts Sheryl Underwood and Elaine Welteroth described the March 10 incident, in which Osbourne defended her friend Piers Morgan over comments some interpreted as racist and sternly told Underwood, “Don’t you dare cry.”
Welteroth, a Black woman, recalled the Underwood-Osbourne exchange and said she believed Osbourne “was not listening and went off the rails into disrespect.

Shutting down much of the country during the coronavirus pandemic, the Real Time host argued during a panel segment on the show, motivated more protesters to take to the streets. That added influx has complicated the local community response and increased the burden on police.
“When you coop people up with no hope and no jobs, why not go out in the streets?” Maher said. “I wonder what America will look like. What do police departments look like if they have to fight this all the time?” Picking up a theme Maher has hit relentlessly during shows broadcast from the leafy expanse of his backyard on La’s West Side, he groused, “This reckless experiment of closing down an...
