So here's the scoop: Marie Osmond, the iconic singer and performer, grew up with not one, not two, but eight brothers. That’s right—eight! And let me tell you, when you’re surrounded by that many guys, you learn a thing or two about standing your ground. Marie recently stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to dish about her new role as a cohost on The Talk and to weigh in on whether it’s easier to argue with her brothers or her new cohosts.
Men Only Listen to Half of What You Say—Marie's Secret Weapon
When Stephen Colbert asked Marie if arguing is easier with her new cohosts or her eight brothers, she didn’t miss a beat. “Well, men only listen to half of what you say,” she quipped, delivering a line so sharp it could cut glass. The 59-year-old beauty, known for her timeless elegance and wit, went on to explain that this gave her the upper hand with her siblings—Virl, Tom, Alan, Wayne, Merill, Jay, Jimmy, and of course, her brother and stage partner, Donny Osmond. She joked that because men don’t always hear the full story, she had a built-in advantage in every argument. Classic Marie!
The Talk: A Peaceful Haven Compared to the Osmond Household
But here’s the kicker—Marie revealed that arguing is actually a non-issue on The Talk. “We don’t fight on The Talk actually. It’s actually pleasant!” she said with a laugh, referring to her fellow cohosts Sharon Osbourne, Eve, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Sheryl Underwood. She encouraged viewers to “make your lunch date around it,” adding a playful touch to her comment. Stephen Colbert, ever the comedian, couldn’t resist chiming in with a joke of his own: “I didn’t hear half of that,” he quipped, sending the audience into fits of laughter. Classic Stephen!

A New Chapter: Marie's Excitement About Joining The Talk
Marie, who joined the CBS talk show on September 9, couldn’t contain her excitement about her new full-time gig. “Oh my gosh, it is so fun,” she gushed, describing the experience as a “new chapter” in her career. She expressed her gratitude to CBS for selecting her, saying, “I am very honored that CBS would pick me.” It’s clear that Marie is thrilled to bring her unique perspective and charm to the show, and fans are loving every minute of it.
Nerves and Butterflies: Marie's Honest Reflection
Even with decades of experience under her belt, Marie admitted to feeling a little nervous before her debut as a cohost on The Talk. “I’ve been working a few decades,” she joked, before confessing, “and I started to get these butterflies.” But she quickly reminded herself to stay calm and focus on what she does best. “After about 10 minutes, I’m like, ‘Marie, stop it! You know, do what you do,’” she explained. For Marie, having those nerves is actually a good thing—it means she’s still passionate about her work. “When you lose that, you should move onto something else. Don’t you?” she asked with a knowing smile.
We couldn’t agree more. Marie brings a fresh energy and warmth to The Talk, and we’re thrilled to have her as part of the team. Here’s to many more fun and engaging episodes with Marie at the helm!
