Grammy-winning rapper Eve has joined CBSโ€™ โ€œThe Talk,โ€ rounding out the panel that includes show creator Sara Gilbert, Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood.

Eve, who had a weeklong guest stint on the popular daytime talk show last month, made her full-time debut Tuesday, replacing comedienne Aisha Tyler, who exited the following a six-year stint.

โ€œI am interested in hosting, and specifically on this show, because I feel as though I can express myself in a way people havenโ€™t seen me before, and be able to engage in great discussions [and] have some fun,โ€ she told Variety โ€œIโ€™m just in a place in my life where I was looking for a platform to express myself.โ€

Eve plans to continue squeezing in acting and music around her new gig.

โ€œI will definitely make time for acting, if there is time. Iโ€™m always interested in unique and fun parts,โ€ she said. โ€œAnd music, yes, Iโ€™ve already started recording. I started recording a few months ago. And the plan was, before this opportunity came up, was to put out some music, which I still plan to do soon.โ€
