I have always thought Michael and Kelly were faking their chemistry. I think Kelly and Regis had issues too. Common denominator???! Haha |

I can't believe That i am commenting on all these post...hahaha...I feel like such a rabid fan.  I think that that there were issues with Kelly and Regis. I think sometimes she was impatient with him, while he always had that air of it was his show and he was top dog. I like Regis and he did make me laugh, but I have to say sometimes he really came off as a ditz. However I think that Kelly and Michael did have a genuine like for each other, at least in the beginning. But who knows what went on behind the scenes. At the very least they were good at their job because they entertained me. Michael has gotten better but he still isn't as good as Kelly with his non scripted talking. |

I am on my phone and don't know if I can link, but eonline just put something on Twitter that after yesterday's show they told Kelly and she is livid. She and other key people were kept in the dark, network decision to do that. Yikes.

Kelly will have the opportunity to prove her acting skills. Is she Oscar worthy...hahaha |

I thought that at the closing of today's show when Michael thanked Kelly, it felt like an after thought and it seemed like it was his last day there. Although he said he'll start full time at GMA in September I wonder if he and she will share the hosting duties until then. Interesting.

I liked Kelly when she first started with Regis, but I think she has become a self-inflated, overdone version of herself. I love Michael on that show, but since I work full time, I rarely get to see him. I will enjoy seeing him on GMA in the mornings before work.
The article that I read stated that Kelly was told after yesterdays show, was livid, and did not have a planned absence today. Not sure when she told them she wasn't coming in, but the substitute co-host was not announced at the end of yesterday's show.

That is too bad. I do think that they interacted well together. But I will (as always it seems) be the lone dissenter here again. I like Kelly. I think she has a good sense of humor and I enjoy watching her. I think that she does what is best for her family and does have good family values while at the same time recognizing that they are living a much different and more affluent life than most. Lone dissenter? Every time the K topic comes up, there are many on this board that rise to give her an ovation. Personally, I'm not a fan. Never have been; never will. Don't blame Michael for moving to greener ($) pastures; now we can have a vote for who should replace him. |

I guess I haven't been reading those threads completely because my recollection (but I am getting old so that is also very questionable ) is that most people here don't like her. Kelly and Rachel Ray seem to be the type that people either really like or really dislike and not much in the middle. |

They say Kelly was a no-show this morning. I don't love or hate her, she's just 'meh' in my opinion. However I do think it was horribly disrespectful of them not to giver her at least a day's notice. She deserves that much respect. I also think had the tables been turned, Michael would have been given notice. Hollywood is very sexist and men are treated with much more respect. Thise Disney CEO's are jerkwads for this stunt if you ask me.

I think they just need to add another hour of GMA, it seems weird it ends and the Today show keeps going on. I was wondering why Michael was always on GMA lately. It does say something about their friendship if he couldn't secretly give her a heads up.

I DVR their show and when I got home I quickly turned it in to see if there was anything mentioned on their show. I don't know if yesterday was live or not but there seemed to be a weirdness between the 2 I haven't felt before. Anyone else notice that? I agree. I said that to someone yesterday, that it wasn't their normal easy banter. I specifically watched today to see how it would be handled. he didn't mention Kelly specifically when he was thanking everyone in the host chat and I thought wow that's weird. He just mentioned her during the closing. Hahaha...I don't mean to laugh because I am sure that it does have a pretty big impact on the show, but if they are doing this for ratings it is working on me. I just scheduled something for tomorrow making sure that it was after the host chat part so that I could watch it and see the interaction.  I wondered if it had been pre taped because her hair was straight in the opening segment and wavy when they interviewed Jason Bateman. I also read that she may take the week off. I wouldn't blame her. How did no one tell her this? This is her show too. She knows that he makes her look good and finding someone to replace him and do as well could be very difficult. |

Last week she mentioned that in 16 years she had taken one sick day, so this absence is a big deal. I can see why he left, but to leave her in the dark and let her know the same time that the public found out lets you know where you stand with your company and that really must hurt. |

It does say something about their friendship if he couldn't secretly give her a heads up. Maybe he couldn't because of the contract or because he knew she'd get really upset or something. I've heard through more than one source that she's not that nice. I wouldn't use the fact that she's gone through two cohosts as proof she's that difficult to deal with--Regis was known for his ego. I like Michael--he's smart and shows that he's more than just a baller. I'm not sure I'd be that erudite after taking some of the hits he has. |

Swear her to secrecy/sign an agreement, or whatever, but give her a day or two to wrap her head around it. |

I read awhile ago that the network has been trying to get rid of live for a very long time. I think gma will go to a 9:00 am hour now. Didn't ABC just renew the Live! contract through until 2020? I thought it regularly beat the third hour of the Today show and I'm not even sure what CBS offers at that time. TBH, I think it is really, really hard for a hosting team to keep the energy up day-after-day and while Michael gave Live! a huge shot of adrenaline, I think it would be a mindnumbing show for him to host given his other opportunities. I usually watch the first half hour of GMA and think Michael holds his own when he's been on and am interested in seeing what sort of role he has. As much as a love seeing George Stephanopoulos most mornings, I know his heart is in the political news and wouldn't be surprised to see him move away from some of the daily hosting and pop news kind of segments as the 2016 race moves to the nomination conventions and final run to election day. |

I think it's crappy that Kelly and Gelman were left in the dark. I have no idea what Disney's reasoning was, but it's pretty cold on their part. I loved watching the show with the rotating male co-hosts after Regis left, so I'm excited to see that again. I hope they keep it going as long as they did last time- or longer. It gives a fresh energy. Michael was fine, but I haven't watched nearly as much lately. And the theory that ABC is trying to get rid of Live for a third hour of GMA makes no sense since the show is syndicated and doesn't even air on ABC in many markets. It airs on NBC here, in between the third and fourth hours of Today. ABC better be careful- they've pissed off Kelly and I bet the GMA hosts probably don't like the attention Michael is now getting as the one coming in to "save" GMA. Ruffling feathers with one announcement- good job, dumb executives!  |

I was discussing this "important" news with my husband just now, and he reminded me they did something similar to Kelly when Regis left, too. I'm pretty sure she had some idea Regis would be leaving at some point, but he told her right before air time. I don't understand the executive decision that would do that to a person and expect them to keep it together on a live show. |

I don't blame her for being a no show that was move to blindside her was just not cool. A blindside is never good.
He also had to be told he had not mentioned Kelly during his thank you. They showed video on Entertainment Tonight being made aware during a commercial that he left her out. I don't think it was a slip on his part.
I never liked the guy and I am glad he is leaving. I do wonder about how they will work together until September.

Well, I think Kelly handled this in the most unprofessional way possible. Unless I have the timing wrong, she was given the news after the show on Tuesday and had almost 24 hours to get her game face on and act her way through the Wed show, congratulating Michael and maybe get a dig in about the blindside. Instead she is setting herself up to be seen as a diva and hard to work with at a time when she needs to lure in another co-host.
There is nothing in this job professionally for NPH or Anderson Cooper. They are great guest cohosts, but I'm sure they have zero interest in a long term contract and commitment.

I think as her co-host he needed to have a conversation with her that he was leaving. If she found out like the entertainment shows are reporting then he never had a conversation with her. He didn't need to get her permission just a heads up to what was happening. Especially given he isn't leaving until September. They still have to work together so I would think the smarter way would be to make it a smooth transition. She was blindsided it wasn't cool at all. Also like I said earlier he didn't thank her either until he was told off camera about not doing so and when he finally did it seemed very insincere. I would love to see AC as a co-host because they have amazing chemistry and he is yummy to watch lol but the chances of that happening are slim to none. NPH I could possibly see doing as his night time variety show bombed. |

I think it humanizes her as someone who was not treated respectfully. She also deserves space to grieve the unexpected. She was scheduled to be off on Friday and Monday anyway so coming back today just to go back out would probably be more awkward.
I think if you like Kelly, you can see this side, but if you dislike her, you are going to understandably see it as another reason to do so. It's all ok, they're just opinions.

Instead of the story being about her being blindsided, what is being talked about is she behaved like a diva and didn't show up for work. NPH turned down an opportunity to take over for Letterman saying he feared the boredom of the repitition of a daily talk show and is currently working on an original series for Netflix. |

I don't watch the show so can't speak to personalities, but in general I think not telling a co-host and producer ahead of time, and especially springing it on them on national TV, is a crappy thing to do. Michael and the network should both be ashamed of themselves.

I have seen few stories that portray her as a diva over this, most are saying she was blindsided. I think there is more egg on his face then hers especially with the clip of him being told he forgot Kelly hello how do you forget your co-host! That was a not so unconscious move on his part I think lol. I am not a NPH fan so that would be great if he isn't in the running lol. |

I watch the show if they have someone I'm interested in seeing on and have always liked them together. Prior to my retirement, I didn't watch, so I have no reference between Kelly and Regis and Kelly and Michael. I think Kelly can be very funny and witty and Michael's personality is very likeable and I thought they had good chemistry. He does however trip over his words a lot, so you can tell he hasn't been at this as long as she has.
Not telling Kelly and Gelman leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's a mutual respect thing and whoever made that decision has to live with the repercussions of it.
