Emmanuel Acho and Taye Diggs visit "The Talk" and dish on their new reality competition show "Second Chance Stage." On how Chip and Joanna Gaines hand-picked Acho for his role as host, he explains, "In 2020...I started this show 'Uncomfortable Conversations' talking about race trying to bridge the gap. True story, after my first episode with Matthew McConaughey, Chip Gaines reached out to me, he said, hey I'd love to be on the show under one condition...I want to sit down and talk to you but I want my kids there...at that moment we forged a relationship, didn't see Chip for another four years until we were getting ready for 'Second Chance Stage'...they said we wanted to find a way to work with you...it's just powerful." He adds, "We all can relate to the characters in this cast, and it took us through a gauntlet of emotions."  Diggs adds, "It [emotions] caught me off guard...once you hear these people's stories it makes you look at the talent in a completely different way...it was too much for me." Acho reveals, "A quick true story, cause I'm hosting and I look at Taye in the audience...and just waterworks." Diggs reacts, "I don't know if it's because I'm older, I can't control it. My son makes fun of me."
