Tony Award winner Marissa Jaret Winokur will be among the panelists of a new CBS daytime talk show co-hosted by former Roseanne co-star Sara Gilbert.

The show, which is designed to examine current issues through the eyes of mothers, also features Sharon Osbourne, Julie Chen, Holly Robinson Peete, and Leah Remini as panelists. It will replace the daytime drama As the World Turns, which was cancelled after a 54-year run.

Winokur won the Tony for her role as Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray. She will return to the stage next month in the Geffen Playhouse’s production of Love, Loss, and What I Wore.
