While she was sad to leave and remains close to her former co-stars, she was more than ready to try something new when CBS offered her the role.
Talking to People about the decision, she explained: "I knew The Talk could really showcase my personality, but also that I knew I would have great chemistry with the other co-hosts, which I had at the Today show, of course, but living here in Los Angeles — this is the big game in town.

"I had been on this show as a guest before, and every time I came, I just really loved the experience of being here. I loved the audience interaction and how involved they are with the hosts. It's funny because from the minute I walked out here, it was like I felt like I'm at home," she added.
The TV star admitted that she didn't believe she would ever move roles, but is happy to have been able to work at both shows.
The NBC star has become an integral part of The Talk
"I didn't believe that it would really happen. Part of me had always been like, I'm happy to be at the Today show forever. Whatever they want me to do, I'll do," she said. "But I also knew I needed a change. I had been there a long time and being out here in Los Angeles, I wasn't getting to do as many of the things that I wanted to do."
