Seth Meyers is one of three people in the running to co-host Live with Kelly Ripa. The three names in the running are Seth Meyers (SNL), Michael Strahan (former football star), and Josh Groban. Three really odd choices, but great picks!

Starting this Monday, Seth will co-host for a week, which I think happens to be in the middle of sweeps. So we’ll see how he does! If Seth ends up getting the gig, he will supposedly still do the news on SNL, but will most likely have to step down as head writer. Which means SNL will be down another great. 

I would be sad to see Seth take a lesser role on SNL, but the news is his baby anyway, and that’s where he really shines…so at least we’ll still have that. As for Seth on Live, I think it’s an amazing idea. It would certainly bring in a younger demo, and liven things up a bit! Go Seth!

    Out of those 3, Seth is hands-down the best choice. Josh Grobin? Really!?

    I saw Micheal Strahan all week and I thought he was actually pretty good. My vote would be for Neil Patrick Harris. When I have seen him on with Kelly he is always hilarious. My mom said she likes when Pat Sajak is on with her.

    On bed rest until the end of the year, so I’ve actually been catching the show rather regularly. Yay for Seth Meyers. Personally, I think she should try out Harry Connick, Jr., but that’s a personal preference. :) Michael Stahan was good, too, but aren’t all of these options busy people outside of the show?

    UGH – I prefer her revolving door of co-hosts. I can’t stand Seth Meyers, he’s far too smug and smarmy for my taste.

    I’d definitely take Groban or Strahan and Neil Patrick Harris would be AWESOME!

    Harry Connick, Jr. is an awesome idea. He is a true charmer, and so funny! I think NPH is great also. I agree with Danielle, it seems like any of these guys would be too busy to stick around for too long, except Seth, but we’ll see.

    Groban and Connick

    Not Seth Myers, too smug, doesn’t suit the show. Unfortunately I think he has more spare time for it than the others. The week he was on I kept changing the channel. I like Michael Strahan, he is a much better than Myers, but Josh Groban is my choice. Nice to look at, quick with a comeback, funny and he and Kelly have a good repartee together. Other than Josh Groban I would love to see Harry Connick Jr. try out the co-host seat. He is probably too busy.
