Stars of the hit TV series "Stalker," Dylan McDermott and Maggie Q stop by to have a little chat with Aisha Tyler, Julie Chen, Sarah Gilbert, Sheryl Underwood and Sharon Osbourne on Tuesdays episode of "The Talk."

The two stars began discussing their CBS hit show about two detectives who investigate stalkers in Los Angeles. McDermott and Q joined the hosts and with McDermott stealing the spotlight from the mostly female audience.

He started off by talking about how much he enjoyed "The Osbournes" and wished he was an Osbourne.

Q started off by commenting on how tired she is with the shock value and shortened her answer by talking about how excited she was to celebrate veterans day.

Q talked about her days growing up on the debate team.

She was inspired to act by her mother who always told her that she was a performer but she took quite some time to realize it.

McDermott's mother is the author of "The Vagina Monologues" and he told "The Talk" that his mother actually told him he would be an actor.

Q discussed her training with Jackie Chan where she learned most of the combative moves in "Nikita" and her previous roles.

She says that the accidents that happen while filming are part of the job and she is responsible for her work.

McDermott said that the most action he ever had on a show was masturbating and crying at the same time on "American Horror Story."

McDermott and Q shared stories about people who were sharing their experiences with real life stalkers. Q says that it is a real problem and that it can be very damaging to the people who experience it.

McDermott learned that the people who deal with stalkers in real life have to be very smart. They have to know how to deal with people who have a mental sickness.

Q spoke about her reserves about being in a show with McDermott, however, after speaking to a lot of people she realized that he was one of the best people to work with.

McDermott's story was similar in the fact that he was scared to work with her out of her being a "bad ass." However, he gave a rave review of her personality calling her "a kind and beautiful person."

"Stalker" airs Wednesdays at 10PM on CBS.

About "Stalker":

"'Stalker' stars Maggie Q and Golden Globe Award winner Dylan McDermott in a psychological thriller about detectives who investigate stalking incidents - including voyeurism, cyber harassment and romantic fixation - for the Threat Assessment Unit of the LAPD," according to CBS.

"Det. Jack Larsen is a recent transfer to the Unit from New York City's homicide division, whose confidence, strong personality and questionable behavior has landed him in trouble before - but whose past behavior may also prove valuable in his new job. His boss, Lt.

Beth Davis, is strong, focused and an expert in the field, driven by her traumatic personal experience as a victim. With the rest of their team, young but eager Det.

Ben Caldwell and deceptively smart Det. Janice Lawrence, Larsen and Davis assess the threat level of cases and respond before the stalking and intimidation spirals out of control, all while trying to keep their personal obsessions at bay."
