As predicted, the Daytime Emmy-winning afternoon series, The Talk on CBS, has found their replacement for Julie Chen at the host table.
Chen, left the series to spend more time with her family, following her husband Les Moonves’ ouster amid sexual allegations against him as top executive of the network.
Inaba along with Rosie O’Donnell have previously filled Chen’s seat for guest stints back in September.
Carrie Ann got a vote of confidence from the departing Chen in Julie’s videotape message announcing her departure from the series. Chen said of Inaba,”In my opinion, you look awfully good sitting there, my Asian sister. I’m just saying!”
Look for Inaba to join The Talk full-time in January, and for Chen to continue hosting primetime’s Big Brother.
So, what do you think of Dancing with the Stars judge, Carrie Ann Inaba, joining the ladies of The Talk? Comment below.
I’ve always LIKED Carrie Ann Inaba… WHAT THRILLS ME MOST… is that Les Moonves LOST his appeal to the courts for getting his 100 MILLION DOLLAR SEVERANCE PAYOUT
YES !!!! he’s more than a millionaire… LIVE ON THAT Les and Julie… LIVE … I truly like you two as a couple… be humbled … dance sing – Reach
You got this Julie
Great decision! She was my top choice for the job, and I know she will be fantastic!
The best decision ever, love her since in living color.
Good move. Now get rid of Cheryl and I will watch!
So pleased for her‼️

According to court documents on Friday via TMZ, Justin is citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of the split.
The date of their separation is listed as July 8, 2019, which has perplexed those in the media when the pair have been seen together in recent months at Hollywood events and sharing posts of one another on their social media accounts.
Justin and Chrishell were last seen together in public last week on November 14th at a Hollywood Reporter-sponsored pre-Golden Globes party. Reps for both actors have you to share statements or make a comment.
Hartley and Stause tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Malibu’s Calamigos Ranch back in October 28th, 201, which was four years to the day after they met.
As daytime fans know, Justin and Chrishell met when they were both part of the soap opera community. Justin was last on daytime as Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless. Hartley has one child, Isabella, from a previous marriage to another soap actress, Lindsay Korman, who he met when they both were on the defunct NBC soap Passions. Justin and Lindsay were married for 8 years.
We will update you as they warrant in this developing story. And on personal note: we wish nothing but the best for both Justin and Chrishell.
