Three In Waiting

[Blind Gossip] The female star of this TV show publicly declared her full support for her male costar when he ran into a bit of trouble recently.

That’s why it’s funny to hear about all the behind-the-scenes turmoil!

You might recall that the last time a male costar exited, they dragged out the replacement search so that the queen could rule alone. This time it’s different. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite. If her male costar goes down, they want to replace him as quickly as possible!

The suits are watching the guest bookings to see if there is continued push back on stars appearing on the show with [current Male Host]. They’ll know in a week or two if it’s a temporary thing or not.

If they have to replace him, it’s a really short list this time. Just three men. They might say they are considering a male Person of Color and a woman to make themselves look more politically correct, but it’s really just these three.

Top three replacement choices: male Newsy guy, male Reality guy, male Actor.

Female host is great friends with Newsy and Reality.

We’re still hoping for Actor.

    Show: Kelly Ripa Show, lol (with Seacrest OUT)
    3 males in waiting: Anderson Cooper/Andy Cohen/Jerry O

    Just let her do the show alone.

  6. wfreshie says

    that was kelly ripa supporing ryan seacrest

    they are on live with kelly and ryan

    but the blind is referring to American idol which ryan is the host

    not sure of the newsy reality actor

  7. KCeagle says

    Live… on CBS mornings
    Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest

    Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen and Jerry O’Connell

    I don’t watch Live but I’d like to see both Kelly and Seacrest replaced. Time for something and someone new. If that’s not going to happen then I’d like to see Jerry O’Connell get the gig. Kelly played him badly last time so he deserves an opportunity. He’s relatable and likable, unlike Kelly these days.

  9. Meggiejean13 says

    This is totally Kelly Ripa & Ryan Seacrest. No idea who the possible replacements are. I don’t watch the show, so I don’t really care, but I think Mike Rowe (he hosted Dirty Jobs) would be the perfect co-host.

    Not sure about his possible replacements.

  11. elphie says

    They should have gone with Jerry from the beginning… other choices are Andy and Anderson for Live with Kelly and Ryan

    Live with Kelly and Ryan
    Ripa/Seacrest
    Newsy: Anderson Cooper
    Reality: Andy Cohen
    Actor: Jerry O’Connell

    Get rid of Ripa

  14. Parade says

    That Kelly Ripa Ryan Seacrest show.
    Don’t know.
    “Kancel” the show, Kelly is the problem.

  15. PhillyBoricua says

    Live with Kelly and …Ryan goes bye bye. The replacement options are:

    Silver Fox Anderson Cooper
    Real Housewife Maker Andy Cohen
    Jerry O’Connell currently subbing for Wendy Williams.

  16. traherne says

    Kelly Ripa’s show, whatever it’s called. Newsy guy is Andersen. Actor guy is Patrick whatshisname. Just cancel it already.

  17. amagod121 says

    TV show: LIVE! with Kelly Rippa and ?
    (Gawd, showing my age, almost wrote LIVE! with Kathy Lee & ?)

    Kelly Rippa and the fake looking guy …uhh…Ryan Seacrest! (Took a minute to recall his name.)

    Newsy: Anderson Cooper
    Reality: Andy Cohen
    Actor/talk show sub: Charming Taters.

    Optional: Stick her with Megyn Kelly to really see fireworks!

  18. bluestocking says

    Show: Live with …
    Current: Kelly and Ryan Seacrest
    Not sure on Newsy and Reality, but Actor is maybe Jerry O’Connor

    I am waiting for Seacrest to come out. I don’t watch the show, so I have no skin in the game.

  20. Martini says

    Kelly Ripa

    The show really needs to die anyway.

    Newsy: Anderson Cooper (hopefully he wouldn’t stoop this low)
    Reality: Andy Cohen (he probably would stoop this low)
    Actor: Fred Savage OR Jerry O’Connell (but could be her hubby, Mark Consuelos).

  22. mycatsarefamily says

    Live with Kelly and Ryan
    News: Anderson Cooper
    Reality: Andy Cohen
    Actor: Jerry O’Connell
    I’d like them to finally put Live With Kelly out of its misery and cancel it already and give Jerry ( who had once hoped to be chosen as a “Live ” co host) get his own show

    Live! With Bobble Head Kelly and Ryan Kardcrest.
    Newsy guy would be Anderson Cooper, Reality guy Andy Cohen. As far as actors Jerry O’Connel, John Leguizamo guest hosted a bunch of times.
    I enjoyed the two actors when they co-hosted and I do enjoy Cooper. Can’t stand Kelly though. Or Andy Cohen.

      The actor who got the best ratings with her, however, was Jussie Smollett.

    The allegations against Ryan Seacrest sound like are true – in one instant another employee pulled him off the female (he doesn’t remember that?)

  76. sayswho says

    Kelly Ripa and the newsy guy would be Anderson Cooper,
    reality guy is Andy Cohen and no idea who the star is.
    I think it will stink with either Anderson or Andy though. They get boring pretty quickly. I really think Ryan is the best of all fits.

    • BobNYC says

      Do you seriously believe NPH would move his family from California permanently so he could sit next to Kelly Ripa every morning? I don’t think so….
