"Before we get started: as you can see Sharon is not here," Julie Chen began. "There were many tabloid headlines this past weekend about her and Ozzy, rumors and speculation that they have split up after nearly 44 years of marriage. Sharon understandably took today off. We are sending all of our love to her and her family and we ask that you do the same."

Leeza Gibbons guest co-hosted.
