It’s been ten months since Regis Philbin retired from “Live! With Regis and Kelly” and since then, Kelly has been taking her time testing the waters with potential co-hosts. But on September 4, Kelly Ripa will finally announced who will permanently sit beside her at the “Live!” desk every morning.

She has had a grand total of 59 potential suitors pass through the studio since last fall including Kim Kardashian, Jonah Hill and Daniel Radcliffe, and many names have been bandied about. Most recently, Ripa herself said that one of her favorites is Anderson Cooper. But with his already full plate including “Anderson Cooper 360°” and his own daily talk show “Anderson Live,” a Cooper/Ripa pairing is unlikely. Also not making the short list is Seth Meyers from “SNL,” who adamantly denied claims he was leaving his late-night anchor desk.

And while names like Jerry Seinfeld, Alec Baldwin and Neil Patrick Harris are clearly pie in the sky, there are a number of realistic contenders lining up to fill Regis’ shoes. It seems like the frontrunners are TV personality Nick Lachey, singer Josh Groban, actor Jerry O’Connell, former NFL player Michael Strahan and “Bachelor Host” Chris Harrison. What do you think: Who should Kelly Ripa choose as her co-host?

I think that....now that Regis is FINALLY done, the rotating sidekick has been a really effective way to keep things fresh. Nobody on that list is going too fill the bill on the long term in my opinion. I think the show sucks anyway. HaH!

But it wouldn't surprise me if they got Reege to come back for less money (the reason he left to begin with... he thought the show would fail without him).

Michael Strahan

Strahan has shown that he has the reputation,chutzpah and quick wit to balance Kelly's ingenuous demeanor.

Take the show off the air and replace it with something educational. The public is dumb enough as it is now. Oh wait, maybe that would be bad to break customs...We can't have too many intelligent people. Keep 'em drugged, dumb and entertained!

To make the program interesting, she should choose as alternate hosts Rush Limbaugh and Bill Maher.

Jerry's got universal appeal, and Kelly can still be Kelly around him. With a lot of the others she might have to take a back seat to them.

just in case a gunman starts shooting in the studio audience Kelly can take cover between Michael's teeth.

It's already been leaked that Michael Strahan will be her co-host. Doesn't really matter to me since I am at work when the show airs. Good luck Michael! Kelly has a huge personality, I hope he can match that!

I saw Josh Groban on her show and he is wonderful and has the nicest personality. He is funny and charming and all my friends who saw him on that show agreed he should be her co- host.

Me, I am hysterical, and would balance her silliness.

She selected Strahan and boy will that be weird and awkward, he has a speech impediment last I heard.

Just saying-it will make for interesting listening since it used to be a rather obvious one-distorted words, etc. THAT is what I was saying-should be interesting, unless he has had some speech therapy;

I can't choose but I wish they would put someone in the soon. There needs to be a connection between the two hosts. The banter cannot be the same with guest hosts all the time. I prefer a moaner and groaner like Regis because it lightened my day. An older co-host gave us retired people to identify with. His aches and pains, his little dislikes were make light of by younger and more agile Kelly.
