It’s a wild week of unusual guest combinations on daytime TV this week. First, get ready for some “cuchi cuchi” when Charo stops to chat with the women of The Talk this week (and if you are unfamiliar with what this is a reference to or you are unaware of who Charo is, go ask your grandparents).
Meanwhile, Isabela Moner (the teenage Dora the Explorer) and a couple of the ladies from Orange Is the New Black will visit with Kelly and Ryan, two presidential hopefuls will stop by The View and Howie Mandel and Michael Symon will be doing co-hosting duties on Sara & Strahan.

Strahan & Sara (ABC)
It’s so confusing when a network announces that certain celebrities will be guest co-hosts without mentioning if the regular hosts will be gone on vacation and the guest co-hosts will be filling in or if they will serve as an addition to the regular hosts.
