Host Sheryl Underwood pays tribute to Cicely Tyson, reflects on her time on "The Talk" and her passing. "It was like my mother had died," says Sheryl Underwood. "When she came here, she treated us like we were part of her family. And we had so much respect for her and we wanted to hear everything that she had to say. She had this powerful dignity and this residence, this regalness to her. And, you know, when somebody comes to interview here, we only have a short time with them. Sometimes we don't get to say everything we want to say to them. But, when the message got back to me that she was coming back and that one of the producers said, 'Sheryl, she loves you,' and I was wondering if she knew all of us as little girls loved her - as a model, as an actress, to be chocolate, to be mahogany, to be in your own hair, to be whoever you are." She adds, "To everyone who's ever been in her presence, you need to cherish what she poured into you and respect that and then carry it on."
