Michael Strahan To Succeed Regis Philbin On ‘Live’

Coming this fall, Live! With Kelly & Michael. The former NFL star-turned-TV personality Michael Strahan was rumored to be among the finalists for the permanent co-host to Kelly Ripa post, which had been vacant since the November departure of Regis Philbin. He will now be unveiled as Ripa’s new on-screen partner when Live launches its new season on Sept. 4, as first reported by Broadcasting & Cable. Since Philbin’s exit, Strahan has served as a guest co-host on Live a whopping 15 times, most recently on July 3. He is expected to also keep his weekend gig on Fox NFL Sunday, making for a weekly cross-country trek between New York, where Live tapes and Los Angeles from where the sports broadcast originates. Following his NFL career, Strahan also dabbled in comedy with a starring role on the short-lived Fox comedy Brothers.

This guy is not my physical type but every time I see him on something I am oddly very attracted to him.

He's a great choice.

He must have brought in bigger ratings than the other candidates. Nothing worse than an athlete on daytime TV.

I like him. He seems like a good guy.

Football players are not good guys. Never forget High School!

I knew it...he actually is the only one who can sit there and laugh at Kelly's corny ass jokes-he's perfect

So do I-he actually listens to her talk/she goes on and on, but he handles it well Let Michael make his money-not mad at him

I think he's sexy!

Which of course, I never thought of Regis that way.

I think they should have a third host---say, Robin Power?

Dat gap is hypnotizing

Yeah...I think it has to be something about that gap,

I hope he's not leaving NFL Sunday though because I'm not going to watch that cheesy Kelly Rippa show.

Kelly Ripa needs to add some meat on her bones. She looks like one of those so skinny models and the flesh looks like it is hanging on her.

I think a show like The View would be more her style

Yeah and the older she gets the more noticable it is.

Michael Strahan, Kelly Ripa’s new sidekick on ‘Live! With Kelly’

TMZ.com

Michael Strahan, who was vacationing in Jamaica when he got the news he was the new co-host of 'Live! With Kelly,' gets an eyeful.

I was over the moon when I heard this news. I was so hoping he would land this gig. That show needed some color & he is perfect for it. Him & Kelly have so much chemistry together. Plus doesn't his fiance the beautiful Nicole look hot as f---!!!. I am so happy for her she deserves all the happiness in the world. She is a sweetheart..
