JERRY O’CONNELL is a NATIONAL TREASURE. From “Kangaroo Jack” to “Piranha 3D”, he has proven over and over again that there is no task that is too great for him, no mountain he cannot climb.
And now, he has scored a landmark victory for men everywhere, by breaking the glass ceiling and becoming the first male host on “The Talk”!!! (???) He’s taking over for SHARON OSBOURNE, who was let go in March.
The announcement was made on yesterday’s show, and Jerry said, quote, “You ladies have been so welcoming to me.
“I mean, I came here as a guest months ago, and just from the moment I walked in, you’re just gracious, you’re kind, you’re fun, and it worked. And here we are. We’re going to have a lot of fun, we really are.”
