"I don't see it as giving anything up, I just see it as a change," she said. "It's a new chapter. Right. And also keep in mind I been working on my show for seven years.
"So we're very, very fortunate to be able to have that sort of longevity on a series and for me, once we hit the 100 episode marker I thought, 'You know what? I have I have ticked this box'… I feel really proud of the work I've done there."
