Former NFL star and Fox Sports personality MICHAEL STRAHAN will reportedly saddle up with KELLY RIPA on LIVE! occupying Regis Philbin's old comfy.
BroadcastingCable.com reported that ABC is expected to announce in September that Michael Strahan will assume cohosting duties of Live! with the ever perky Kelly Ripa, according to multiple source.
Strahan will keep his lucrative Fox NFL Sunday gig, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The long-running ABC chat-fest broadcasts weekdays from New York, while Fox's NFL programming beams from Los Angeles.
Strahan, a former defensive star in the NFL, was also the star of a (brief) sitcom for Fox, Brothers.
Live! has been without a permanent sidekick for Ripa since Philbin left the show in late 2011.
