Who could ever take Reg's place?!

      That would be kind of a step down for Anderson.



    2. 2

      Now you just copy stories from the Enquirer? Quite the journalist.



    3. 3

      Yes, I LOVE when AC is on R&K!!!



    4. 4

      I love Anderson Cooper, he's freakin' sexy. He's also way too good of a reporter for such crap as LIVE! Get real!

      good choice. i always thought regis was overrated, he seems pretty "slow" to me



    6. 6

      Oh snaaaap. I'd be late for most of my classes just staring at that gorgeous, gorgeous man. I really like it when he guest hosts. He puts Kelly in her place, which she needs most of the time. Great combination! I'll miss Reg though



    7. 7

      LOVE IT! we could all use his hotness in the morning



    8. 8

      si si si muy fantastico!



    9. 9

      oh yes I would. I would watch it more with Anderson than with Regis



    10. 10

      I knew this was going to happen eventually…but I thought they were going to replace Regis with Mark Consuelos…Kelly's husband?



    11. 11

      Cuz nothing says hard hitting journalism like Regis and Kelly!



    12. 12

      now we can tune in to live tea-bagging every morning.



    13. 13

      damn Perez invest in some newer photos. Kelly looks like she's in high school



    14. 14

      As much as I Love Regis I would watch Anderson in a heartbeat. He is a great fill-in when Regis is gone, so sweet and smart, what a perfect combination and he isn't bad to look at either!!



    15. 15

      not if you had an axe to my kneecaps.



    16. 16

      Re: lisarose11 – we could all use your hotness in the morning too



    17. 17

      So now you can get your jerk on in the a.m. instead of waiting till 360 comes on, lucky you butt pirate.



    18. 18

      i don't watch now. so my answer is N O



    19. 19

      Re: Poindexter-X – True but have you seen CNN's ratings lately?I think SpongeBobSquarepants ratings are higher than CNN's.His Talent is being wasted there!



    20. 20

      anderson cooper could sit on my face.

      I would watch it, Anderson Cooper is a major hottie. I'll miss Regis, but yeah I'll take a look at the show w/ Anderson Cooper.



    22. 22

      ABSOLUTELY. But I don't see it happening.



    23. 23

      I actually don't have a problem with this decision



    24. 24

      Oh, yeah. He has positive energy, they're good together–have that fun chemistry together. He's smart and fun–good combination!



    25. 25

      NO! i love anderson, but as a repoprter. He is too serious of a person for this show. Regis and Kelly is a lighthearted fun filled show and he travels around the world and exposes it. He is great and i love him. but not right for this show!



    26. 26

      Definitely would watch. Now if only they'd replace Ripa.



    27. 27

      I don't watch because of Ripa. If they get rid of her, then I'll watch. Anderson would be great though!



    28. 28

      anderson is good..but that shw is regis'..if hes leaving they should jus end it



    29. 29

      Re: Big Black Dick – What is up with the Racer X comment in the other thread? What does it even mean?



    30. 30

      Anderson and Kelly have great chemistry together when they host. He is the only person who could truly replace Regis.

    31. Ne says – reply to this


      31

      Yes I would watch. I love Anderson Cooper.



    32. 32

      Oh Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate Regis, it's like trying to watch my great grandfather have a bowel movement.



    33. 33

      It's a rumor Perez not fact.



    34. 34

      I love it when he is on…. he's so funny



    35. 35

      I think Regis is very overrated besides he seldom pays respect to what Kelly says in the show and completely ignores her at times, he thinks he is the only one in the show and Kelly is just a tag along. He should learn something from Mike from "Mike and Juliet" show.



    36. 36

      tackling 2 more years besides Kelly until retirement? Don't you mean beside because besides would mean someone other than Kelly.



    37. 37

      They need to replace the dumb blond. With anyone with more brains.



    38. 38

      I would absolutely watch. I always think it's awesome with Anderson is on, not to mention his hotness!



    39. 39

      love anderson and think he's hilarious…but i doubt he'll take the gig.



    40. 40

      Although I don't think mr. beautiful face will stoop into such a commercial show…i hope to god he does…i want to wake up to his face every morning



    41. 41

      Bah, Anderson Cooper is a tool. They should just pack up the show for good and move on when Regis retires; no one could replace him (unlike Kathy Lee).



    42. 42

      Who watches now?



    43. 43

      As much as I don't care for Philbin, he is an Arrogant and Condescending Ass, they should pull the plug. Bishop's side kick found his niche with show late in his life and left his mark on it. It's not the Tonite Show with revolving host's and a main stream National Audience that really don't care who's on. It's a local NYC AM Program that the retired crowd likes because of Philban's age and long ago stories.



    44. 44

      I LOVE ANDERSON COOPER!!!! But he is a real new reporter not some hack for stay at home moms to oggle!



    45. 45

      No he just seems like hes in a bad mood when hes on Regis and kelly



    46. 46

      Anderson and Kelly have great chemistry when they're on together. The opening host segment is always a riot to watch when Anderson Cooper is on. I really do hope he does this, he's always one of the best guest hosts when they have him.

      47

      anyone but ryan secretions.



    48. 48

      mmmmmm I could wake up with that silver fox every morning.
      And maybe he could even slap Kelly Ripa in the face. I'd support that.



    49. 49

      Regis is 78 years old. His grandchild lives in CA. His wife, Joy, is from CA. I think they both would like to spend the winters in CA.



    50. 50

      I think Anderson could do this show and his present show. He has done both many times. He is Kelly's favorite guest co- host.



    51. 51

      Re: insertsobriquet – Mark has said he will not replace Regis. Mark said he does not want to be blamed for that show being canceled one day. The chemistry works because Regis and Kelly do not talk before the show and when they chat neither know what the other has to offer. If Mark did the show, it would not work as Mark lives with Kelly. It is boring when Mark is a guest host.



    52. 52

      oh yeah. regis is very boring



    53. 53

      I would totally watch! Anderson Cooper is waaay HOT!



    54. 54

      Hell yeah I would watch! Hopefully he would give the show more substance.

      55

      love him but only as a guest. David Duchovny is awesome on the show and I don't even like they guy.



    56. 56

      i love anderson cooper and all his sass.



    57. 57

      I'd love that!!



    58. 58

      Love Regis & Kelly as a pair, but when Regis decides to retire– which I don't think he will (it's a great job)– I think Kelly and Mark should do it! But AC does well on the show also!



    59. 59

      YES. I would watch. :)



    60. 60

      I would watch EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! I would TiVo, DVR, & Youtube it as well!!! Regis, plz hand it over to Anderson when you are done! PLZ!!!!!

      Please.



    61. 61

      well that would a good idea. Live with Anderson and Kelly. not sure if it has a ring to it but i like the idea on top of 360.



    62. 62

      Sorry I think of him doing more serious news and not the soft stuff folks tune in for in the a.m.'s.



    63. 63

      I like AC and I wish he was starting right away. Regis is getting old, senile and is out of touch with what is going on in todays entertainment.



    64. 64

      "beside"
      not: "besides"



    65. 65

      I think Anderson Cooper would do a great job as a co host but I am pretty sure the replacement for Regis will be Ripas husband.



    66. 66

      Doubt if this is true. He's way too classy for this piece of crap. If anyone gets the gig, it will be Kelly's cute but boring husband.



    67. 67

      is regis finally retiring? i hope so. often times kelly has to save the show when he forgets things. its time for him to step back and let someone else take over.



    68. 68

      they shud just keep replacing all the females…kelly ripa and her extremely photoshopped pic above can leave now. it'll be like the price is right!



    69. 69

      Re: perezisawannabenevergonnabe – omg, is this true?! ripa's husband would be the PERFECT replacement!!! not really digging the idea of cooper taking regis' place..



    70. 70

      My favorite episodes is when Kelly Ripa ISN'T around, I'm sorry, I liked her at first, but I just think she tries WAY too hard. But anyway, Anderson Cooper? Oh yes I would definitely watch, he's like 7 types of delicious-ness.

    71. pj88 says – reply to this


      71

      Excellent Choice… Kelly has great chemistry with other fill-in's like Jeff Probst, Pat Sajak and her husband Mark.. but Anderson brings so much life to that show….. I really hope this is true



    72. 72

      No way! Anderson is to good for that show!



    73. 73

      That is so totally gay! Loves.
      and so the liberal party will fund an inquiry into this injustice of why this man
      is not on CBC
