Kelly Ripa and her former go-go dancer husband Mark Consuelos won’t team up for the morning chat show “Live! With Kelly”. According to OTRC, Ripa doesn’t feel that her marriage would survive if her husband permanently filled the vacancy left by Regis Philbin’s departure.
“No one would make me happier than Mark,” Ripa explained, “but he values our marriage and he says that he doesn’t see how we could stay married and both do that show.” At least they know their limits.
According to US Weekly, the producers of the program are eyeballing Josh Groban, Jerry O’Connell, and Nick Lachey. Personally, I think that Groban would be a perfect fit for the show. He’s funny, witty, and just an all-around cool guy. Rumors were swirling a few days ago that NFL star Michael Strahan was the front runner for the position.
The only thing that’s for sure right now is that Mark Consuelos won’t be a permanent addition to the show.

Kelly Ripa just made a joke about how her nipples were long enough to touch the ground. #RealTalk
Please die, Kelly Ripa.
You’re not cute Kelly Ripa.
I smelled Kelly Ripa’s hair once. I also smelled Lindsay Lohan’s hair. Separate occasions. Lindsay’s smelled like strawberries.
If Kelly Ripa isn’t your idol, you’re not a true housewife #diamonddiploma @DiamondDiploma
