Live! with Kelly (formerly The Morning Show, LIVE! Regis and Kathie Lee, Live with Regis and Live! with Regis and Kelly) is a syndicated American television morning talk show, hosted by Kelly Ripa. The show has aired since 1983 in New York City and 1988 nationwide. Tony Pigg has been the show's announcer since its inception. The show began broadcasting in high definition in 2008.
On November 18, 2011, Regis Philbin (who had been with Live since the beginning) left the show after his contract was not renewed.[1][2][3] Live will continue with Kelly Ripa, and will begin searching for a new co-host by having people guest host with Ripa, in a similar fashion to how she was selected to co-host with Philbin. The show debuted a new set April 9, 2012.
History
A.M. Los Angeles (1975–1981)
The show has part of its origins in A.M. Los Angeles, a local show that was broadcast on KABC-TV in Los Angeles from 1971 to 1991.[4] Regis Philbin assumed hosting duties in 1975, with Sarah Purcell as his original co-host. Purcell departed the show in 1978 and was replaced by Cyndy Garvey. Philbin and Garvey hosted A.M. Los Angeles until 1981.
A.M. New York / The Stanley Siegel Show / Good Morning New York (1970–1983)
Meanwhile, there were also two different morning-show predecessors on WABC-TV in New York City. The first was A.M. New York which debuted on May 18, 1970 as a local version of NBC's Today show,[5] and was originally hosted by John Bartholomew Tucker. After he left in 1972, a succession of hosts came and went, until Stanley Siegel took over in late 1975. Under Siegel's stint, the show went from last to first in the ratings for a brief period, and from 1977 until his departure in 1978 it was known as The Stanley Siegel Show.[6] Following Siegel's departure for rival WCBS-TV, the show reverted to the A.M. New York name until its cancellation in 1980, by which point it had been hosted by Janet Langhart and Clay Cole. A few weeks later, WABC tried again with Good Morning New York, hosted originally by Spencer Christian and Andrea Kirby; Kirby would eventually be replaced by Judy Licht, and Christian was followed by the likes of Dick Wolfsie and longtime Eyewitness News reporter and anchor Doug Johnson. Like its predecessor for much of its run, Good Morning New York failed to make a dent in the ratings against Donahue on WNBC, and was cancelled in early 1983, with The Morning Show as its replacement.[7]
The Morning Show (1983–1988)
Philbin and Garvey relocated to New York City in 1983, resuming their show as The Morning Show on April 4 of that year, again as a local show seen on WABC-TV in New York City (and representing the station's third stab at a locally-oriented morning show). In 1984, Garvey left the show, and was replaced by Ann Abernathy. When Ann Abernathy became pregnant in 1985, she also decided to leave the show. She was replaced by Kathie Lee Gifford. Gifford would remain Philbin's co-host from June 24, 1985 to July 28, 2000.
Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee (1988–2000)
In the weeks leading up to the show's national debut, the title was changed to Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee to prepare for the expansion. On September 5, 1988, Buena Vista Television (BVTV) began syndicating the show nationally. In 1996, The Walt Disney Company, BVTV's parent company, acquired ABC (and WABC).[8] On February 29, 2000, Gifford announced her decision to leave the show to pursue her singing career, and spend more time with her family. Her last show was on July 28, 2000.
Live with Regis (2000–2001)
After Gifford's departure, the show, renamed Live with Regis, continued with guest co-hosts including Philbin's wife Joy, among others. During this time, Philbin won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Host, and was also hosting ABC's popular Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. During "auditions" for co-hosts, Kelly Ripa became a favorite and front-runner, especially after a segment on the first episode on which she was a guest host on November 1, 2000.[9]
Live! with Regis and Kelly (2001–2011)
Ripa was named the permanent co-host on February 5, 2001,[10] and the show was retitled Live with Regis and Kelly. Since Ripa took over, the show's ratings have increased according to E!. Kathie Lee Gifford returned as special co-host alongside Regis and Kelly on September 14, 2007, to celebrate Live's 20 years in national syndication, and as a guest on April 14, 2009.[11]
Philbin announced on March 12, 2007 that he would undergo heart bypass surgery on March 21, 2007 after experiencing symptoms of heart disease. Guest co-hosts hosted alongside Ripa during Philbin's absence.[12] He returned to his hosting duties on April 26, 2007.[13] Philbin later announced on November 23, 2009 that he would undergo hip replacement on December 1, 2009. Guest co-hosts again hosted alongside Ripa during Philbin's absence. He returned to his hosting duties on January 4, 2010.
On June 19, 2011, both Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Host. After his contract was not renewed, Philbin's final show was on November 18, 2011. Live! with Regis and Kelly was then awarded Daytime Emmys for both Outstanding Talk Show-Entertainment and Outstanding Talk Show Host on June 23, 2012.
Live! with Kelly (2011–present)
After Philbin's departure, the show was renamed Live! with Kelly, mirroring what was done at the time of Kathie Lee Gifford's departure. Various co-hosts are currently filling in alongside Kelly until a permanent co-host is found. On November 21, 2011, Jerry Seinfeld was the first of many guest co-hosts appearing with Kelly, including: Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Groban, Derek Hough, Mary J. Blige, Jonah Hill, Katie Couric, Cat Deeley, Mark Consuelos, Kristin Chenoweth, Taye Diggs, Kevin Jonas, Bryant Gumbel, Michael Bublé, Seth Meyers, Andy Cohen, Michael Strahan, Nick Lachey, Jim Parsons, David Duchovny, Rob Lowe, Reggie Bush, Boomer Esiason, Jesse Palmer, Apolo Anton Ohno, Mario Lopez, Dana Carvey, Carrie Ann Inaba, Daniel Radcliffe, Peter Facinelli, Jerry O'Connell, D.L. Hughley, Randy Jackson, Tony Potts, Daniel Dae Kim, Matthew Morrison, Ben Mulroney, Tyler Perry, Chris Harrison, Alec Baldwin, Dan Abrams, Pat Kiernan, Kyle MacLachlan, Matthew Broderick, Carl Edwards, Martin Short, Carson Kressley, Joel McHale, Mike Greenberg, Jimmy Kimmel, Sam Champion, Kim Kardashian and L.A. Reid.[14]
On April 9, 2012, the show introduced an entirely new set. The brand-new set features a "contemporary downtown-style loft" feel and features a new high-tech lighting system with LED lighting fixtures. Even though the set has undergone slight modifications over the years, this set change is the biggest change to the set since the show first went national with Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford in 1988.
On July 6, 2012, People magazine reported that Seth Meyers, Josh Groban and Michael Strahan were the top three contenders in the running to replace Regis.[15]
Production
Live is broadcast live weekdays at 9 a.m. ET, and on tape delay at 9 a.m. local time on stations west of the Eastern Time Zone, with few exceptions; as such, it is one of the few first-run syndicated programs to broadcast in a common timeslot on most stations carrying it. The show airs on all of ABC's owned-and-operated stations with the exception of WLS-TV in Chicago, where Windy City Live, which replaced The Oprah Winfrey Show, airs in that time slot (similar to Live, Oprah evolved from the former AM Chicago, a morning talk show on WLS hosted by Oprah Winfrey in the 1980s). Instead, Live airs on the local feed of WGN-TV (however, because of syndex rules imposed by the FCC, it does not air on WGN's superstation feed).[16]
The show features bantering between Kelly and her temporary co-host, phone-in contests, celebrity and non-celebrity guests.[17] It is produced by Michael Gelman.[18] The first 22 minutes, known as "host chat", is improvised and also the most popular segment. During the segment, the hosts often react to stories in the local newspapers or other media. Following the host chat, a home viewer is called to participate in a Live's Travel Trivia, with the chance to win a vacation prize package and a prize for the audience. Following the contest, the rest of the show features special segments and interviews with both celebrities and regular people with a story to tell.
Its latest theme song, composed by Gabriel Saientz after an on-air, $100,000 contest, made its debut on January 5, 2009, the day "Live" started broadcasting in high definition. Slight changes such as new furniture and flooring were made to the set.[19] The show added an exclamation point to the on-screen title at this time.
Live has consistently been rated among the top daytime talk shows in the US, behind The Oprah Winfrey Show.
The Live series has inspired similarly formatted talk shows. Some have been successful (The View), while others have had limited or no success (The Tony Danza Show, Living It Up! With Ali & Jack). The now canceled British television series, Today with Des and Mel, was based on Live.
