Leah Remini

Project: The Talk

The Emmy-nominated host and executive producer from CBS’ The Talk was fired in 2012 and put the blame on her co-host, Sharon Osbourne, at first. Later on, in an interview with Howard Stern, Leah Remini admitted that she couldn’t shut her mouth and also suggested that she wasn’t doing what her bosses wanted her to do. The popular talk show is still airing on CBS, and recently Amanda Kloots and Elaine Welteroth joined the team after the departure of Eve and Marie Osmond.

After her The Talk stint, Remini made an investment in numerous programs like Dancing With the Stars, The Exes, and her own Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, which has won numerous accolades, including two Primetime Emmy Awards and Best Reality or Nonfiction Program at the OFTA Television Awards. It was a win-win situation since she lost a job and found something better.
