The Talk has found its new co-host after Aisha Tyler decided to leave the CBS daytime chat show after six seasons. American rapper and Grammy Award winner Eve joined show’s host roster that also has Sharon Osbourne, Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert and Sheryl Underwood. Eve previously made a guest appearance on the show in October. Check out how the rest of the group welcomed Eve below.

“We are thrilled to welcome Eve to the table as she brings a fun and fresh perspective to our already diverse panel,” said Angelica McDaniel, Vice President of Daytime Programs at CBS. “The great success of The Talk is due to the undeniable chemistry and bond of friendship between the hosts. Eve is an accomplished and dynamic performer, musician, wife, and stepmother who fits in seamlessly, while also adding a new layer to the show as we continue to evolve season to season.”

Aisha Tyler left The Talk in July, saying she was busy with other projects. Tyler is currently involved in three shows including series Criminal Minds, in which she is a series regular. She will also make her directorial debut in 2017 with the movie Axis.

“I just realized I had to let something go,” said Tyler. “It’s been the hardest decision of my life and you guys are my family and I love being with you every day.”

Eve is not just an accomplished musician, but she also found success as an actress and fashion designer. She starred in the Barbershop films and also played the lead role in UPN’s sitcom Eve. Eve launched her signature clothing line titled Fetish in 2003.

The Talk was created by actress Sara Gilbert and debuted in 2010. The show is currently in its eighth season.
