With Regis Philbin leaving Live With Regis & Kelly on November 18th, rumors are swirling around who will be his long term replacement. In the past, a source told us they'll likely bring in a sizable number of guest hosts in for an on-air audition process, similar to the one that led to Kelly's appointment. And it was just announced that the first seat warmer will be none other than Jerry Seinfeld, who has guest hosted on the show before.
Seinfeld will join Ripa for three shows, airing November 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. Executive producer Michael Gelman said in a statement, “Jerry is a great friend of ours, and a friend of Kelly’s, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s an entertainment icon. It’s a great way to kick off the new beginning of our show.”
Following Seinfeld's stint, more guest hosts will be brought in—will NY1's Pat Kiernan be one of them? Or Kramer?
