Carrie Ann Inaba will be leaving The Talk after taking a leave of absence in April.
Inaba served as co-host of the daytime talk show for over two years. The Talk is now down two hosts—Inaba and Sharon Osbourne, and it’s unknown if CBS will replace Inaba before the show airs with new episodes in September.
“I enjoyed my time at The Talk as co-host and moderator and I am grateful for the opportunity I had to grow with the entire Talk family as well as truly connect with the viewers on such a personal level,” Inaba said in a statement via Variety. “I will miss ‘The Talk,’ but I am excited for the next chapter both for myself and for the show.”
Not long after Osbourne left the show, Inaba took a leave of absence, choosing to prioritize her mental health and wellbeing. The Talk was put on hiatus until March 29 after CBS conducted an investigation surrounding Osbourne’s comments.
“Carrie Ann’s authenticity and openness created a special connection and relationship with our audience. We will always be grateful for her contributions here at ‘The Talk’ over the last 3 seasons,” Heather Gray and Kristin Matthews, executive producers at “The Talk,” said in a statement.
