Update:

It’s now being reported that Michael Strahan will be the new co-host of, ‘Live! With Kelly’, they were planning on revealing the new co-host on September 4. However, someone opened their big mouth and spilled the beans just a little bit early. Multiple sources are confirming the news, and fans of the show seem to be pretty happy with the pick.

Strahan is expected to keep his job with the Fox NFL Sunday crew, so he’ll be doing a lot of traveling every weekend. Live! With Kelly is taped in New York, while Fox’s NFL Studio is across the country in Los Angeles.

 

Original Story:

‘Live! with Kelly’ has been searching for a new co-host for what seems like years now. The morning show has spent the past year testing out a number of different co-hosts and now they have finally made their decision. The new co-host will be announced on September 4 and everyone is speculating on who the new co-host might be. Seth Meyers, Michael Strahan and Josh Groban are believed to be the top 3 front runners.

Kelly Ripa’s husband Mark Consuelos was thought to be in the running, but new reports claim that he decided not to do it in fear that it would hurt their marriage. The show on September 4 is set to be a big one, it’ll be the first show with the co-host and the guest list includes Homeland actress Claire Danes and American Idol winner Phillip Phillips.

Personally, I am little confused about the three “front runners” is that really the best they could do? How are you going to replace Regis with one of these dudes? They don’t have a single drop of “senile old man” in them! Josh Groban isn’t going to yell at guests and ask them slightly inappropriate questions. They should have been searching for another senile old man, like that one old dude…the one who has had all that work done?

Joan Rivers? I think is his name.
