"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," Morales tells People of her Today exit after two decades. After four months on The Talk, she's finding gratification and purpose. "I knew that this was going to be a great opportunity to really revamp the show and bring it back to what it was meant to be at the beginning," she said of The Talk. "This is a good, positive place. We're having fun, smart conversations that hopefully engage the audience at home."
