Carrie Ann Inaba gets host gig on ‘The Talk’
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Carrie Ann Inaba is no longer a temp on “The Talk.”
The CBS daytime show announced Wednesday that Inaba has joined the panel of hosts, moving up from recur- ring guest host.
“The Dancing With the Stars” judge replaces Julie Chen, who left the talk
show in September.
Chen’s departure came a week after
her husband, CBS Corp. boss Leslie Moonves, was ousted from the company due to sexual misconduct allegations.
In announcing her exit on-air, Chen appeared to endorse Inaba as her succes- sor.
Inaba, who has served as guest host on “The Talk” for two seasons, joins hosts Sara Gilbert, Sheryl Underwood, Sharon Osbourne and Eve.
Inaba’s career in dance includes per- forming on Madonna’s “The Girlie Show World Tour.” She’s also an actress and singer.
