Marissa Jaret Winokur leaving "The Talk."

Marissa Jaret Winokur is the first victim of The Talk, CBS' attempt to copy The View, RadarOnline.com has learned.

"I will not be returning to The Talk this year," Winokur told People.

Winokur was hired to be one of six hosts on the show, with her "Mom on the Street" segments airing twice a week. But as the show evolved in the months since its premiere last fall, "there really wasn't room for my segments," the Dancing With The Stars Alum explained.

Added the show's executive producer, "This is a mutual decision based on time, not talent."

That still leaves five ladies on the crowded The Talk couch. Julie Chen, Holly Robinson Peete, Sharon Osbourne, Sara Gilbert and Leah Remini are still chatting away on the ratings-challenged series.

I really hate that they axed Marissa because I liked her segments and they could have used her the week Holly went to DC. But she's a loudmouth and there's already one loudmouth on The Talk(Remini, this means YOU!), so I can understand why they went with four instead of five.

But at the same time, those five at the table have a really good chemistry with one another and I'd hate to see that shook up by trying to fit Marissa in the table and throwing off the dynamics of the group.

They should get rid of Leah Remini.

Then again I thought Winokaur was awful when she was a reporter on the street for the CBS parade a few months ago.

Leah's alot "less" obnoxious since coming back from hiatus. I think Moonves or Brad Bessey had "The Talk" with her.

Leah Remini is channeling "Carrie Heffernan" on this show a lot I didn't like Marissa either so "meh".
