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?
Was never a big fan of the show, even when it was Kathy Lee and Reg. Always thought the show did not have much value. Would not lose any sleep if it was moved, or cancelled and replaced.
Cancel . /”she’s a terrible host and wants to talk about herself only
Show should be cancelled. Not the same without Michael Strahan, Kelly is boring.she always cut in when he was speaking and came across condescending.
I think she should have never been picked in the first place for Regis`s cohost. She stunk from the very first show.
It’s almost a year, and they said they would have a new co-host by the Fall season…hasn’t happened…maybe their top choices have backed out??
As long as Kelly brings in a level of ratings ABC is happy with, it’ll go on and on. At this point, they may as well forget having a perm co-host and just keep having ‘guest hosts’. I can’t stand to watch it anymore…even their famous Halloween show had lost any special-ness.
I think the show is so different than it started with Regis and Kathy lee. Kelly has been very lucky for not being well known, but I think the show has been to much of an effort and needs to say goodbye. It’s ran its course.
I think its time for the show to go. I used to respect Kelly and her humor. Now she acts like a real diva and thinks she is just “all that”. I do not watch it anymore because of it. She is over payed and needs to move on. I also HATE when she makes comments about her body like she is too fat or whatever. Really? I am just plain sick of her ego. Period.
Cancel it! She shown herself as somewhat of a “B”. Don’t like anyone who just eats a pickle and calls that “lunch”. 🙂
Cancel that show. She has become to much of a diva! She acts so phony on that show. I used to watch it every morning with Michael on there…with him…it was like a breath of fresh air. Now that he has moved on…it stinks!
I always enjoyed the show when michael and kelly were together. I can barely stand to watch it anymore. I say let it go.
I am in agreement with the others that have voiced their opinions on here. Since Michael left the show I can’t bare to watch it anymore. None of the guest co hosts seem to make it a hit and Kelly just seems bored and like her mind is off somewhere else. I really thought Michael and Kelly made a good team on the show. Honestly he was the one that made the show thrive. I tried to watch it without him but found Kelly very boring and her guest co hosts even more boring. I think this show has seen… Read more »
Kelly seems very unhappy and insincere for years now, very fake. Cancelling the show for the best, not entertaining, just pathetic.
I watched the show for years, it is tired now.
Regis and Michael were great, Kelly cannot
pull it off.
Cancel tips show Live with kelly it’s extremely boring presently ,Let Gmail extend that show its much more suited for the extra hour of Great TV in my words thanks TV junky
Sadly, it’s obvious Kelly tend to compete with her co-hosts when it should be viewed as a team effort. The show won’t last much longer.
