I've watched this show every morning for the past 3 1/2 years. Compared to other talk shows, it's no great shakes, but the host chat is worth watching for two reasons. Kelly Ripa (replacement for the much hated Kathie Lee Gifford) is wonderful! She is hip, beautiful, warm, smart and one of the quickest wits around. Her spontaneous, off-the-cuff sense of humor makes me laugh out loud several times every show. In contrast to Regis Philbin, she is self-effacing, modest and takes a genuine interest in the guests. I find her absolutely delightful.The second reason I watch is to see Regis fall on his face every five minutes. How this man has sustained a show business career all these years is a mystery. He has no talent and he can't pronounce or remember a name, a place, or a date if his life depended on it. He doesn't do his research and it shows during his interviews. He totally lacks any warmth, has a monumental ego (talks about himself incessantly and often refers to himself in the third person!), and is completely technically incompetent. He can't open a bottle, operate a cell phone, or work a VCR, among many other failures. He is also a wuss (watch him during an animal segment - he's scared of everything), a bully, a curmudgeon, a screamer, and can be incredibly rude. He interrupts everyone and barely lets Kelly get a word in edgewise. The best shows are when he's away and Kelly can let loose with a fill-in co-host. However, it's a riot watching how many times he can screw up during each show.Watch this show for Kelly Ripa and try not to throw your shoe at the screen every time Regis Philbin messes up or yells at the camera.

I think that Live with Regis and Kelly is a fine show. The hosts of the show are Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa. The show is a bit different than it was when Regis was with Kathy Lee Gifford. Regis and Ripa in My opinion work together very good. Regis is very good as always. Kelly Ripa, a young and very fine looking gal is also very good. What this show has in store for its viewers is actually pretty good. These two hosts talk about things that is going on such as news, the things that they like to do, they have special guests like actors and actresses, and more! The show is interesting and keeps you entertained. So, if you are watching television early in the morning and want to watch a show that has many celebrities then I suggest that you watch Live with Regis and Kelly today!

This show used to be a great morning show. It was sometimes for the family. Regis was funny and Kathy Lee was tolerable. Things were going great for many years. It was a very entertaining show in the morning. Sure it had its bad moments and Kathy Lee was annoying but overall it was great. Then in 2000 Kathy Lee left the show of course and was replaced by Kelly Ripa. Since Kelly has entered the show something is wrong. Kelly is really bold with Regis she has no class in my opinion. I think it puts Regis on the spot and it isn't right. I am ashamed to watch this show. I don't know why Kelly was put on here but this new format is not doing too well. Is this some attempt to boost the show's ratings by adding sexual appeal? If that's the case it isn't working. Kelly needs to back off and get some class about her self or maybe she needs to be replaced, because something wrong has happened to this show. Despite this huge setback done to the show, Regis is still the same. He is the whole reason that anyone tunes into the show. I only wish Regis would get a decent co-host. The show's new format is just not working out and needs to be changed.
