Raven-Symoné spills new details about the second season of “Raven's Home.” “We have Johnathan McDaniel, who actually played Raven Baxter's boyfriend, [Devon Carter], on “That's So Raven.” He's now my ex-husband, so he'll be back. And my dad comes back, Rondell Sheridan [Victor Baxter]. He doesn't say, 'Kapowie.' He tried to put that in there and we're like, 'Take that out.' We have some more amazing people.” She also shares that this season, “Booker, my son, is psychic and I'm psychic but we haven't told each other. So one of the first things we tackle in the new season is keeping secrets in the family [and] we have a musical episode, you guys!”
THE TALK returns live after a week of pre-taped episodes, and host Sara Gilbert reacts to the news of her show 'Roseanne' being canceled after star Roseanne posted a racist tweet last week. Gilbert says, 'In addition to my statement, I would like to say this has been a very difficult week. A lot of people have been hurt by this. I will say I'm proud of the show we made.

However, I do stand behind the decision ABC made.' Sheryl Underwood reacts, 'As a black woman who is a comedienne... I'm happy to see that it was done swiftly.' Julie Chen adds, 'Canceling the show so quickly sent a strong message and the right message.'
