One of our patron saints is calling it quits. Regis said on his show this morning that he'll be leaving the syndicated program later this year. It seemed a little unclear when exactly his last show would be, but best guess is that it'll be at the end of the current season.
-
I am wondering if the whole show will be cancelled as well... Regis is a landmark, Kelly is an afterthought.

So Regis and Oprah both won't be on the air next season. Big changes in daytime talk.

There's no way they just pack up and go home when Regis steps down. This isn't like Oprah, this is more like Bob Barker. There's an enormous hole to fill, but as long as the show can make money, you have to try.
Let me be the first to speculate wildly. Unlike when they picked Kelly a decade ago, this time they have to go with a name. Here's one: Sajak.

Here's another, same genre: Probst.
-
As long as we're picking other people from the game show world as potential replacements, Jeff Probst has been a decent fill-in for both Regis and Larry King on occasion.
Tom Bergeron would probably have a good personality for that gig, but I don't know that he's shown any interest in an interview format since his Fox/FX days.

Why do I get the feeling Kelly's hubby will get first shot?

If he wasn't still doing Survivor, I'd say he'd be a favorite- but since they film back-to-back seasons now, he'd be gone for 2 months plus a year. It's not totally unworkable though, depending on locations and taping schedules.
Sajak might work, but I wonder if there would be some contract issues with Wheel. Plus he's 64- he wouldn't be a long term solution.

Regis will step down right around his 80th birthday. In the world of television, 16 years is definitely a "long term solution". But who knows, Sajak may not even be interested in adding a project that requires a daily commitment, however brief.
Probst isn't a bad choice, I guess, but I just think Kelly works better opposite an older man. Even though Probst is older than Ripa by a few years, and has plenty of years in the business, he's just never struck me as a seasoned veteran.

The show is in the midst of a Men of Radio Co-Host Search. Maybe this has something to do with it?

She brings a lot to the table and, though I'm not as familiar with Kathie Lee Gifford's work there since I didn't watch much when she hosted (she left when I was 10), most people I know vastly prefer Ripa over Gifford. It will be weird not having a constant Regis presence on TV, but I'm not going to complain when a 79-year-old man wants to retire.

His primary residence is in Maryland, so it wouldn't be that bad (he takes the train a lot when he subs on Live). I just don't think he wants to have the grind of doing a live show all the time at this point in his life.
-
I know Pat had expressed interest in a talk show gig as far back as the Late Night debacle, so maybe he WOULD consider taking the spot if offered. Of course, they'd have to find a new Wheel host if that's the case. If the network decides not to continue on with the "Live" show, maybe this would be a chance for Pyramid to take its spot?

Not that I would expect anything less from Bobby, but can we please not turn this into "Name anyone who's ever guest-hosted on Live!"? Harris is a full-time actor, arguably at the peak of his career right now. He's not going to give that up to sit on a stool five days a week and make chit-chat with other actors.

It's not a network show. While ABC stations in some key markets (NY and L.A. among them) air the show, it's not an ABC offering.
-
The timing is likely because NATPE starts next week, and affilites who re-up don't want to feel like a bait-and-switch.
And yes, the show will go on -- a PD friend of mine once said that the contract is for a show called "Live!" -- there are no names of hosts attached to it. This was told to me more than 10 years ago, when Regis rumors first started to surface.

I wonder if he'd give up "Wheel" for this. Sony could hold him to his contract, maybe, but he may enjoy the change. It's closer to home and he can try to sneak in right-wing talking points during "host chat."
If Pat left, they'd have an opening to kick Vanna to the curb before she's using a walker to go tap her letter monitors.
-
Mr. J. Nelson and I had a small, albeit to the point conversation about this earlier. It follows a lot of what has been said already here.
While Sajak is my first choice *dun dun Dun DUNNNNnn... thomp*, yeah, I'm about 99% sure he wouldn't want that daily commitment anymore, especially on top of other things he does. While his lifelong ambition of doing a talk show might pull his heart strings for doing this, there's the fact that he will probably sign only one more contract renewal for Wheel before saying goodbye (he's stated he has between 2 and 10 years left of hosting it), which would open up more time for him for doing this at a later point, while working him to a grind in the interim. Committed to hosting Live into his 70's would definitely be a strong longer-term commitment, I think, in this case though, and would still be appealing for the show's producers. I'm pretty sure Sony wouldn't say one word about doing both either, except if Sajak was talking about leaving Wheel in particular in order to do Live.
Also being a fellow Marylander, I can tell you that it takes about 4 hours to drive from Maryland to NYC, but that can be cut down by about an hour taking Amtrak. That would mean he'd have to be waking up very early to get to NYC on time. I'd think the show would either have to move to a later time period on the East Coast (10am maybe?) or... well... not be so "live" anymore. Neither idea is particularly great in my mind, so that could be a potential issue too.
My preferences, otherwise, go towards the likes of Jeff Probst, Ryan Seacrest, or possibly Anderson Cooper (forgot he had his talkie coming). It wouldn't rub me wrong either if they did rotating hosts every week for the forseeable future while Kelly is the "pillar of strength"... or something, for the show.
/Yeah, I'd have a pillar of strength to give her.

Is he remaining at CNN?
-
I can't imagine that Sajak would want the added commitment. I could see him guest-hosting for a week or longer as an interim host, but (and I'm not him, of course), I couldn't imagine wanting to add such a huge time commitment to his schedule when he already has a cakewalk gig with Wheel and more money than he'll ever need.
-
The first name that came to my mind was Seacrest, especially as, supposedly, he was interested in being Larry King's replacement at CNN.
The only problem might be if they tape it in New York, as he has to be in Hollywood for Idol for four months or so every year.

...and in Los Angeles on KIIS every morning.
-
I immediately thought Seacrest as well, but again the L.A. commitment is a big deal.
There have been some good suggestions. At the risk of turning this into a suggest any male host you can think of, how about Marc Summers? He co-hosted a talk show on Lifetime back in the mid-90s, similar to the "Live!" format.
-
Also, if Seacrest really is trying to become the next Dick Clark and carve his niche in the Pop scene, Live seems off-target no matter where they're taping.
Bergeron seems to be a logical solution, so it probably won't happen. ;-)

Since "Live" is syndicated, that isn't happening. If anything this would probably lead to many stations starting 9:00 AM newscasts while the NBC affiliates that clear "Live" dating from the Kathie Lee/pre-Today expansion era would probably clear all four hours of Today live (or in places such as Sacramento or Baltimore, clear the 4th hour period).
-
Bergeron would make a good replacement, and I wouldn't be surprised if The Mouse is already courting him on the possibility. Disney is already pleased with Tom at the helm of AFV and DWTS on it's network and by hosting a syndicated property owned by them, it would be a logical fit. Plus it would be the show closest to his Connecticut home by a few thousand miles.
-
I'm glad to say that I heard the announcement not as a result of having to watch the Host Chat online, as I've had to do for the past 16 months, but by actually watching the show at home, which finally returned to Omaha January 10 on the Fox station here.
Also, regarding the mention of Marc Summers as a possible successor, anyone know whether or not Food Network stopped making new "Unwrapped" shows?
Too bad Vin Scully isn't the same age now as he was when he was hosting It Takes Two, or I'd suggest him as a Regis replacement.

Summers was taping segments for Unwrapped as late as last fall (he filmed a series of opens, bumps and closes at a New Jersey diner), and new episodes are airing this month. Given that Unwrapped is one of FN's longest-running shows, an announcement that it was canceled/ceasing production would get some attention in the media.
I also have Probst on my short list, but a lot of it depends on his contract with "Survivor." It seems as if Probst drops hints that he will leave the franchise every couple of months or so, but no one's really sure when his contract actually ends.
Although his talk show hosting skills aren't the greatest, Howie Mandel has been a frequent Regis sub in recent years, so I'd have him on the possibilities list.

Now I've seen a lot of Pat Sajak discussion on here but I'd like to go off the board, Jack, and suggest a different Pat:
Pat Kiernan. Affable, is a news man at heart and a former game show host. Might be a bit dry but I'd watch.
/Tom Bergeron for the win, though; there'd be a Laurie Hibberd connection!

According to Tom's book, however, he is blacklisted from Morning Yak with the curmudgeon and the soap star.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. This is a pretty steady gig, he'd be back in NY and able to do Broadway again. What's the shelf life on HIMYM, let alone another untested sitcom?
I think he would do it in a heartbeat. And I'd watch. He's a good fit for that show IMHO.

Even with the LA radio show, Seacrest's Idol contract is ending after this season, and he'll probably be hesitant to re-sign with what many are considering a sinking ship. It would just be a matter of how he'd handle two dailies on separate coasts.

Since Survivor now tapes over the summertime back-to-back, I don't think it would impact things all too much. The upcoming season of Survivor that premieres in February wrapped in September. You could push it up a few weeks and he could record both seasons of the show during Live's break...all assuming he gets the Live gig and he decides to continue with Survivor.
As far as I can tell, Redemption Island is the last season he's obligated to. He'd be in a really nice position to negotiate if both sides wanted him.

Well he doesn't have to be in LA to do a radio show for LA....the problem is that the morning show in LA would overlap with Live on the East Coast-though he could go to afternoon drive-time on the radio side (however there's also better access to in-studio celebrities in LA).

That's a highly entertaining list, especially with the names on there. I definitely think that T.J. Holmes (175-1) and Cooper (35-1) are low (I'd assume CNN would try and lock him up with a nice deal). Mr. Kelly Ripa seems really high at 12-1.
/Carey at 125-1 is intriguing (Drew sucks, Bob rules, etc. etc. etc.)
//Brady at 30-1? I like that A LOT.

"Live with The Situation and Kelly" might be very entertaining.

I can't believe he pulls better odds than someone with the actual job experience. :)

Oooh, a real celebrity sweepstakes! I'd like to bet $2 on Chris Harrison.

Would've loved to be a fly on the wall when they thought up this list. Stephen A Smith? Sal Masakela? Nick Jonas? Really?

The first two probably came up since the Winter X Games are running, so ESPN is a little more forward facing lately.
