VIDEO : Chris Hardwick Makes Emotional Return To 'Talking Dead? Following Abuse Claims

As previously forecast, Chris Hardwick returned to host The Talking Dead following AMC?s investigation into abuse allegations from his ex-Chloe Dykstra. She had penned an explosive Medium post about an unnamed ex-boyfriend, and the details and timing described in her piece all pointed to Hardwick as the subject of the claims, although she did not participate in the investigative process. On Sunday evening, Hardwick returned to the zombie-apocalypse-centered aftershow amid further upheaval, as Deadline reports that several staffers (including a co-executive producer) quit their jobs at The Talking Dead in protest of his return.
