Kelly Ripa may be losing more than her co-host on Live with Kelly and Michael. According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC might be pushing the morning show’s 9 a.m. timeslot to expand Good Morning America.
Earlier, we reported that Live‘s co-host Michael Strahan will be moving to GMA permanently this summer.
Apparently, ABC has been looking to extend Good Morning America to a third hour for some time now. Pushing Live to either 10 a.m. or 2 p.m. would give GMA that extra hour.
Does this mean that Live with Kelly and Michael is on the way to cancellation? That’s uncertain. Earlier this year, ABC renewed the talk show through the 2019-2020 season. And while Ripa has taken the week of Live in light of Strahan’s recent announcement, the network still seems supportive of the show.
An ABC spokesperson said:
We are committed to ‘Live…’, its fantastic production team, and to Kelly Ripa. We believe the show has a great future. End of story.”
What do you think? Do you watch Live with Kelly and Michael? Do you think the show should continue?
congratulations Michael
as for Kelly
the way she acts maybe the reason her bosses did not tell her

I never missed an episode when Regis was on the show, he told stories and made us laugh. I love Kelly and Michal but the show became more of picking up papers and reading stories rather than telling them. Unfortunately, I lost interest.
I don’t see the show unless it is a school holiday during the year, or summer. I enjoy and watch it when I am home. They have some great guests and I think Kelly and Michael have done a great job, so find a replacement for him.
Looking forward for another hour of GMA, burned out with Kelly Ripa and her narcisstic attitude. Once upon a time, when Regis P. was there the show had flavor and charm….. R.I.P.
My husband and I only watched the show for Michael S. We tolerated Kelly’s insufferable bids for attention (even trying to upstage A-list guests) because we liked him. We hope they extend GMA another hour.
Greg’s right. They just need to find someone who’s also named Michael. Or Kelly could host the show by herself. ABC could retitle Live with Kelly.
Please, don’t cancel the show. Just keep it on the air until the 2019-2020 season. Just find someone to replace Michael Strahan. Maybe someone who’s also called Michael. After all, the show is called “Live with Kelly and Michael”.
Or maybe change the title when or if they find someone to replace Strahan.
Cancel this horrible show please. Thanks.
I am shocked that Kelly was not told in advance and included in the information. It is a good show. I don’t blame Strahan because he basically is keeping his job. The “company” tells him what is best, however, Kelly has been a very good person in this show and time slot and did not deserve to be treated this way.. I feel the owners disrespected her. I think it would be a great time to have her husband, Mark Consuelos be her co-host. I would still watch!!!!!
I love the show. One of the best on tv
Yes I watch & Yes it should be renewed. I’m sad that Michael is leaving but Kelly has held it together for years so why should this be any different.
You do not want to hear the viewers feelings, so you say “no personal attacks”? Really? You at Disney, ABC and GMA deserve them. God forbid you speak on behalf of Kelly……you could lose your jobs. I need to go barf! You HAVE lost a GMA viewer!!!!
Kelly has run her course She’s not mature enough any longer and should be replaced
I think ABC is a real low class operation for handling things this way! Clearly a masaganistic run “Disney disgrace”. Kelly Ripa is a CLASS act who was treated like a potential gossip? Shame on Disney! If you have done this to extend GMA, I am no longer watching!!!! I am sick of seeing good people walked over for ratings. And guess what? I no longer respect Michael, he is a piece of **** now to me!!!!! What a man…..don’t want to hear the news from that loser! Shocked, shocked, shocked!!!!
What a dirty trick! Kelly is the show , Michael was Just using the show .to further his career . I may have to check out the other morning shows. Good Morning America may be off my list. Michaeadds nothing!
I totally agree. If I was put in the position that Kelly is now in, I would take the time to sort out how it is that she was out of the loop of decisions being made behind her back. She has carried that show even with Regis at the helm. I couldn’t stand him. I never watched when it was Regis and Kathy Lee. They were both nauseating ly sappy. I know the brass has a bad habit of throwing people under the bus. Kelly must certainly feel those under handed decisions undermines her loyalty. Of course, we only… Read more »
Kelly has body image dysphoria and is definitely anorexic and insecure and tries to make herself seem like she is the best thing since sliced bread. I think she is very shallow and the way she treated Michael was very unChristian like. She shows pictures of her kid making confirmation maybe she should spend some time in the confessional. Show stinks.
Please get rid of Ryan and Kelly.I never watch this show anymore.Can”t stand them.
