Jerry Seinfeld
Seinfeld will assume guest co-host duties on "LIVE!" from November 21-23 -- an audition for a more permanent role, perhaps? We hope so.
-
Jimmy Fallon
Next week, Regee's pals are scheduled to stop by the show to say goodbye, including Jimmy Fallon. Now there's another name we could get behind.
-
Mark Consuelos
Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, is easy on the eyes and has already filled in for Regis in the past. But we might get sick of seeing this married couple together every day.
-
Howie Mandel
Jerry Springer told The Hollywood Reporter that Mandel is right for the job. "When you're on every day, it's more important to be comfortable than hot. It's got to be someone as comfortable as the furniture."
-
Wayne Brady
The Hollywood Reporter's chief TV critic Tim Goodman said handsome Wayne Brady would "drive down the demo and expand the audience."
-
Neil Patrick Harris
MediaWeek's Marc Berman told The Hollywood Reporter that Neil Patrick Harris is his top choice. “People want to learn more about him, and he'd bring a whole different perspective to that show," he said.

Ryan Seacrest
Seacrest has been named as a possible contender, but doesn't he already have like five other jobs?

After 28 years on "LIVE! With Regis and Kelly," Regis Philbin will step down next Friday, leaving a big seat to fill beside perky co-host Kelly Ripa. And the latest Reege replacement to be floated is ... Dana Carvey.
The "Saturday Night Live" alum is, perhaps coincidentally, known for his impressions of forever-young 80-year-old Regis. And according to The New York Post, the backstage buzz has Carvey
as a top contender.
While nothing is confirmed yet, we think Carvey, 56, would make a great choice. Not only is he hilarious whether he's playing Garth or the Church Lady, he's also a genuinely nice family man, which comes across if you've ever seen one of his stand-up shows.
Other celebs, like Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos and "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest, have also been in the running, but reports say these two are pretty much out. From Carvey to Seacrest to guest-host Jerry Seinfeld, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who should replace Regis Philbin?
