"The Real" is a popular American talk show that has captivated audiences since its debut on July 15, 2013. Hosted by a dynamic ensemble of talented women, including Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai, Tamera Mowry-Housley, and previously, Tamar Braxton, the show brings a fresh perspective to daytime television. Broadcasting in seven major markets owned by Fox, such as New York, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C., the show quickly garnered attention for its engaging discussions on current events, relationships, and pop culture. After a successful four-week summer run in 2013, anticipation built for a nationwide syndication launch, which was approved and rolled out in 2014, further cementing its place in the hearts of viewers across the country.
The format of "The Real" is distinctive, blending candid conversations with humor and personal anecdotes that encourage authenticity among its hosts and guests. This unique approach allows for relatable dialogue on pressing issues affecting women today, lending a voice to topics that are sometimes overlooked in traditional talk shows. As the hosts share their life experiences and openly tackle controversial subjects, they foster a supportive environment that resonates with a diverse audience. Each host brings their own unique flair to the table, making the chemistry palpable and the discussions lively.
In 2016, the show experienced a notable change when Tamar Braxton decided to leave to concentrate on her music career and continue her involvement in the reality series "Braxton Family Values." This shift opened the door for new opportunities and growth within the show, allowing Adrienne Bailon and Loni Love, alongside the other hosts, to further explore the engaging format that defines "The Real." Despite changes in its lineup, the show has remained committed to empowering its viewers, celebrating womanhood, and providing entertainment that is both enlightening and enjoyable.
Ran for 8 seasons.
