EndedTalk Show show

BET is the perfect new network home for the youthful energy and passion of The Real, a daily mix of heart and humor that turns the traditional talk show on its head. A lively roundtable of five dynamic co-hosts articulates what women actually think — without apology. Their unique perspectives and varied life experiences come to life through candid conversations on topics ranging from the news of the day to beauty, fashion and relationships. Unlike other talk shows, each host admits to being a "work in progress," fearlessly inviting the audience into their lives. The show is led by five bold, diverse and outspoken hosts: Tamar Braxton, Loni Love, Adrienne Bailon, Jeannie Mai and Tamera Mowry-Housley.
