Sara Gilbert has announced her departure from the CBS daytime chat show “The Talk,” which she created, co-hosted and produced for nine seasons. Gilbert made the announcement on the air April 9.
“This is something I have been struggling with for a while and going back and forth. But I’ve decided it’s time for me to leave the show,” Gilbert said. “I obviously love it here and this was extremely difficult. Last season I did ‘The Conners’ and, as you know, also producing … and I loved it and felt totally empowered. But my life was slightly out of balance, and I was not spending as much time with my three kids as I would like.”
Gilbert plans to leave at the end of the current season but said she “will come back, I will guest co-host — you’re not going to get rid of me, I’ll be around.”
She will continue to appear and executive produce “The Conners,” which was renewed for another season by ABC.
