Sara Gilbert to depart The Talk

With her presenting, producing and acting slate, Sara Gilbert admits, "My life was slightly out of balance."

Actress Sara Gilbert is leaving The Talk after nine seasons.

“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,” she told viewers.

“I obviously love it here and this was extremely difficult,” she continued. “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 said she decided to leave as she couldn’t “do it all,” on top of her producing and acting slate. She has been with the show since its debut in 2010, and along with Sharon Osbourne, has served the longest tenure of any co-host. She also created and executive produces the show.

“Sara’s passionate vision for a forum in which women on camera and off could celebrate mutual support, emotional growth, and everyday achievements was a driving force behind bringing The Talk to air in 2010 as CBS first daytime talk show. Her authenticity, compassion, quick wit, and drive to succeed led to nine successful seasons of The Talk, garnering numerous daytime Emmy Awards, including outstanding show and outstanding host,” said Angelica McDaniel, executive vice president of daytime programs, in a statement.

“I will come back, I will guest co-host — you’re not going to get rid of me, I’ll be around,” Gilbert added.

The Talk airs in Australia on 10.
