Kelly Ripa Wants To Settle Down With…Anderson?!

Kelly Ripa Anderson Cooper Host

Since last November, Kelly Ripa has been on the search for a brand new cohost, after Regis Philbin announced his departure!

While Seth Meyers and Josh Groban have been labeled as Live! with Kelly’s frontrunners, it seems Mz. Ripa has somebody else in mind!

In Kelly’s opinion, her DREAM cohost would be none other than everybody’s favorite silver fox, Anderson Cooper!

As for Kelly's reasoning? She revealed:

"We have a connection like nobody else. I worship him!"

Ha! We always knew we loved her!

Unfortunately, seeing as Anderson already has his OWN daytime show, Anderson, the search still continues!

Sigh! How AHmazing that would've been…!!!

I always wanted him to be her co-host. He's guest hosted so many times and she really brings out his personality. But with CNN, his own show, and 60 Minutes contributions, he's obviously way too busy. I've half hoped his show got cancelled so he could go work with Kelly! haha

When I first heard that Anderson would be on a talk show I thought it would be on Live!. He's so perfect for that role and the banter and connection he and Kelly have is amazing. With his own talk show I feel that it is trying to be a bit like Oprah, which is not fitting for him…and it's actually quite boring sometimes. He already has a serious news show on CNN and I feel the fun side of his personality would be more fitting with Kelly on Live!.

I can't believe she doesn't have a co-host after 9 months! The show is boring with Kelly hosting by herself, without a regular cohost beside her. Gelman played this one so wrong, should've given Regis the raise he wanted.

Oh enough with the Anderson charade already! We get it Kelly…you're obsessed with him!!. Kelly really believes she has this magical ability to transform guys from gay to straight…she is OBSESSED with gay guys. I have nothing against guys guy I repeat NOTHING. However, her obsession is beyond ridiculous. Seems like she's trying to over-compensate for something. I can almost guarantee you her oldest son is gay!

This show comepletely and utterly SUCKS! Mainly because of the anorexic, annoying and narcissist that is Ripa-washed up ex soap star. She didn't even give Regis credt for the 'honorary emmy' the show got when he retired. Now they announce live with Kelly as 'The emmy award wnning show', PLEASE! Anderson is too smart to trade his great show for this sinking ship-ratings in the bottomless pit ( bythenumbers-check it out).

No more gay guys! By far the best co hosts are Josh Groban and Michael Strahan
