‘The Talk’ Cast Had Some Very Familiar Faces During its 15 Season Run! What the Alums Are Up to Today
Ever since Sara Gilbert cocreated The Talk in October 2010, the Emmy Award-winning show has seen tons of incredible cohosts. Stars like the Roseanne actress, Julie Chen, Marie Osmond and more have come and gone, but they’re still keeping themselves busy with their Hollywood careers and projects today.
While The Talk has experienced countless other change-ups to the cast, longtime fans were shocked to hear of the show’s sudden cancellation in April 2024.

Sara Gilbert
Sara shocked fans when she announced she was leaving The Talk in 2019 due to her busy schedule. Pointing out the struggle of juggling her work and role as a mom, the sitcom star said she wanted to spend more time with her kids, Levi, Sawyer and Rhodes. That same year, Sara and her partner, Linda Perry, called it quits after five years of marriage.
“This is hard to do. This is something that I have been struggling with for a while, and going back and forth, but I’ve decided that it’s time for me to leave the show at the end of this season,” Sara announced at the time. “I obviously love it here and, like I said, this was extremely difficult.”
Although she no longer graces her presence on the show, she still stars as D.J. on the sitcom The Conners.

Sharon Osbourne
Like Sara and Julie, Sharon was also an original host of the show. The British TV star appeared on the show for a total of 11 seasons until March 2021, when it was announced she was leaving The Talk after a heated on-air discussion with Sheryl. CBS ultimately launched an investigation into claims that Sharon previously made racist and homophobic remarks, which she denied.
“As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon’s behavior toward her cohosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace,” CBS said in a statement at the time, adding, “Sharon Osbourne has decided to leave The Talk.”
Since parting ways, Sharon has been spending more time than ever at home with her husband, Ozzy Osbourne. She’s also keeping busy in Hollywood, working alongside her spouse and son Jack Osbourne on their streaming series, The Osbournes Want to Believe.

Eve
Eve landed a spot on the talk show in 2017 and hosted the CBS series until November 2020. Revealing the news during an episode of The Talk, the rapper said she was saying goodbye to “concentrate” on her marriage and stepkids with husband Maximillion Cooper.
“It’s been a crazy year, obviously for all of us. And I’m so grateful that I’m able to stay here in London and do the show, but I can’t see for me, the foreseeable future of traveling back at the moment,” Eve announced. “[I] have decided that at the end of December, this will probably be my last time on the show, in this capacity as a host.”
Though Eve no longer appears on the show, she’s kept quite a busy schedule. Not only has she worked on a few projects throughout 2021, including Netflix’s Feel Good and ABC’s Queens, but she also hosts her BBC podcast, “Constantly Evolving.”

Carrie Ann Inaba
Carrie Ann joined The Talk in 2019, and she juggled her spot on the show with her long-running gig as a judge on Dancing With the Stars. However, the TV personality announced she was leaving the CBS show in August 2021.
“I want to announce that The Talk, CBS and I have mutually agreed to part ways. I just want to say that I’m filled with gratitude for the experience and for this chapter of my life that has been,” she said on Instagram. “I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to not only my fellow cohosts, past and present, but also to those behind the scenes whom I love so deeply, and I’m so grateful for all of you. I’m excited for all that’s to come.”
Carrie Ann’s permanent departure came four months after she said she was taking a “leave of absence” to “focus on her well-being” in April. “We all know health is the most precious gift we have, and I need to take care of mine. I appreciate the love and support from all of you and from my family at The Talk,” she explained on Instagram. “I hope to be back soon! Ready for action! I’m sending you all my love. And I’ll update you on my progress … talk soon.”
Despite exiting The Talk, fans can keep up with Carrie on DWTS.

Marie Osmond
Marie arrived after Sara Gilbert announced her departure in 2019. Shortly after making her debut as a full-time cohost that September, the “Paper Roses” songstress said she couldn’t have fit in with the crew any better.
“OK, you want a scoop? We actually like each other … shocker,” Marie adorably joked during an exclusive interview with Closer in October 2019. “I’ve been telling everybody I’m so happy because now I’m on the group text, so it’s like, ‘Lunch here, we will meet up here.’ It’s just so fun.”
Sadly, the Donny & Marie star revealed she was leaving the hit daytime talk show after just one season in September 2020. Like Sara, Marie was “looking forward to spending more time” with her husband, Steve Craig, and their children, Stephen, Jessica, Rachael, Brandon, Brianna, Matthew and Abigail, an insider dished to Closer.
Although fans wouldn’t longer see Marie on The Talk, she had a few projects lined up, including a new series with ViacomCBS. According to Deadline, the iconic singer collaborated with The Talk showrunner and executive producer John Redmann, who also left the program after 10 seasons.
“One of the highlights of my year at The Talk was working with my dear friend John Redmann,” Marie shared in her statement. “I’m excited to continue our working relationship on several projects we are developing.”
We can’t wait to see what Marie has in store!

Elaine Welteroth
Elaine was hired as one of the newest cohosts in January 2021. She revealed her exit just six months later, releasing a statement in August 2021.
“It was gratifying to be able to show up as my authentic self in front of a live national audience every day in a world as divided as ours and to stay true to myself and what I stand for,” the statement read. “I came to The Talk to break out of my own echo chamber and to join a diverse cast in helping to bridge some of the divides in our world through conversation and empathy. I’m proud of how I represented myself and my community. But as I always say: when the music changes, so must your dance! I will miss my talented cohosts and crew and I wish them the very best. Thanks to all those who tuned in every day.”
Though Elaine only appeared on The Talk for a short time, she said she’s “excited to continue these necessary conversations in [her] work and to share [her] upcoming creative projects soon.”
