Kelly Ripa Leaving 'Live' Unless Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper Takes Michael Strahan's Seat

Looks like Kelly Ripa may be leaving her hit show Live! With Kelly and Michael unless Andy Cohen or Anderson Cooper decides to step up and replace Michael Strahan.

According to Us Magazine, a source claimed that the talk-show host "is talking about leaving" Live! With Kelly & Michael after Strahan revealed that he was leaving the show to move to a permanent job at Good Morning America. Strahan was supposed to make the move in September, but the show revealed that his last day on air with Ripa would be May 13.

Since then the show has had a lot of drama. Ripa finally returned to work on Tuesday, April 26 after taking an unscheduled hiatus when she learned that Strahan was leaving. The 45-year-old felt "blindsided" by the entire situation and only learned of Strahan's exit when producers told her moments before the April 19 announcement on the show.

"She considers it a sign of disrespect. In her opening monologue Tuesday, Ripa said that "apologies have been made," Us reported.

Now it's a chess game as Ripa and the producers scramble to try to find a replacement. So far they have considered actor, Jerry O'Connell. Ripa has her fingers crossed for CNN's Anderson Cooper or Bravo's Andy Cohen.

The chances of either of the men coming aboard are slim. Cooper is crazy busy with CNN covering the 2016 elections, and Cohen has Watch What Happens Live and The Real Housewives franchise.

"Unless one of them can come on, she doesn't really want to do it," the source claimed.

MStars News wants to know, who would you like to see replace Strahan? Do you believe this may be the end of the show? Or do you want Ripa to stay?
