Watch Kelly introduce her new co-host! What do you think of her decision?

It’s the question on everyone’s mind: Who is going to replace Regis Philbin on Live! With ~~Regis And~~ Kelly? Well, wonder no more! Kelly Ripa revealed her new co-host this weekend — and she’s already drinking on the job! That’s right, it’s Kathie Lee Gifford.

If you can’t guess by now — or if you just really wish it were true — the whole thing was a sketch on Saturday Night Live, with Kristen Wiig reprising her perfect portrayal of everyone’s favorite morning-time wino, Kathie Lee.

Watch “Kelly” make her big announcement below, then vote: Do you wish Kathie Lee was really joining her?

My sister and I attended the Kelly & Michael show on May 16th. It was the very highlight of our New York visit–loved EVERY minute of it!

What is all the hoopla about the new co-host. It has been in all the papers in Canada that it is Strehan. Who ever picked him is way beyond me. No personality at all. Oh well. I will just have to watch something else.

Don’t know what they wee thinking. Can’t stand Kelly since Regis retired and the new co-host is totally disgusting and I WILL NOT BE WATCHING.

I like Michael S. I think he is funny, knowledgable, and knows how to relate with the audience.

I’m sorry but Kathie Lee had her run on the show back when she and Regis were hosting it. If she comes back, it’s going to be a disaster.

loved Ripa from the start, she makes me laugh, And call this crazy…maybe, but what about Richie Sambora as her co host? give it a shot, lets see what he can do.also for a women as a co host, I think Marie Osmond would be fantastic!, make her an offer she can”t refuse. Just putting it out there.I have seen a few returnes of some potentials, but so far no one has struck me as the perfect fit for Regis { man, what a huge, huge hole to fill } continued success for Kelly,
