He has assumed the guest cohost role multiple times, and now sources say Jerry O’Connell may permanently cohost Live alongside Kelly Ripa when Michael Strahan leaves in mid-May.
Although O’Connell says he has not yet been contacted by anyone on the show, he had glowing praise for Ripa.
“It would be an honor — I would do anything Kelly asked me to do,” O’Connell has said. “That’s how much I respect her.”
Strahan is leaving for a position at Good Morning America. His last host appearance on Live is May 13.
