Is Kelly Ripa getting a new co-host? Recently, the LIVE! with Kelly host revealed she’s in no rush to find a co-host, Deadline reports.
Earlier this year, Ripa’s co-host Michael Strahan announced he was leaving the syndicated ABC morning show after four years. The decision prompted a large discussion about who would replace Strahan.
On a recent episode of Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, Ripa told host Andy Cohen that there was no time table set for finding a new co-host:
You know we really didn’t set a time frame for ourselves; we just wanted to wait until we found the right person. What we didn’t anticipate was that we would have such an outpouring of interest. Our list got very long very quickly. We’ve been trying to keep it as narrow as possible, but then people pop up.”
Previously, there was speculation that frequent guest co-host Anderson Cooper would replace Strahan, but he is currently employed full-time at CNN.
What do you think? Do you watch LIVE! With Kelly? Who do you think should be the new co-host?
Cohost needs to be someone that can get a word in. There have been a few good ones. I liked Morris Chestnut but id rather see him on Rosewood. Someone commented on josh groban. He is very good.
Josh Groban is good on there. He’s respectful, and he can be really funny. If they gave him a chance to show his personality. He is so talented, in more ways than just singing.
The show is old . Time to move ove over and try something different. Stop kicking the sme dead horse and come up with a whole new daytime show. New blood needs to be introduced too not the same old thing day after day.
It is time to pick a host, I personally hate different one everyday.
I do like her connection with Christian Slater plus they look good together.
The show is no longer interesting. They have more of same guests as gma. If they have more guests it might be better..
I don’t believe she needs a permanent co host. Bringing in different co hosts weekly is superb. My personal favorites are Christhian Slater and her bff..oh and let’s not forget her husband Mark. She’s the best with or authority co host. I personally stopped watching GMA, because I don’t like Michael at all now. His head is too big for his own good. Thank you.

You need to do something with your hair.looks like you just woke up
The drawn-out co host selection process is making me lose interest. I only watch these days if Fred Savage is the guest host. Mark is a cutie, but there’s less to talk about because they share a life. It’s more interesting when the co hosts are telling each other about their different lives/kids/weekends, etc. Jerry O’Connell is too hyper/in-your-face for the morning, for me at least. Fred Savage is funny, authentic, respectful of Kelly, and he gets excited about meeting the guests.
Jerry O’Connell he doesn’t act so weird. Mark her husband is an ass. Hate when he is on the show.
I love watching Kelly in the morning. And I followed her on All My Children. Love the different cohosts she has. Keeps it interesting.
I love watching Kelly and whoever cohosts with her is much fun. I have seen her with unpleasant moments but she handles it well where I would have slapped someone. But this is my favourite morning show
