Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan

This Feb. 8, 2012 photo shows former football player Michael Strahan, right, and host Kelly Ripa during Strahan's guest-host appearance on "Live! with Kelly," in New York. Strahan is getting a permanent job in morning television as Kelly Ripa's co-host. Strahan replaces Regis Philbin on the syndicated "Live! With Kelly" show, adding his name to the title. The gap-toothed former New York Giant is currently a host of "Fox NFL Sunday." He was one of several men to get tryouts with Ripa as the show rotated several potential replacements since Philbin left last November. (AP Photo/Disney-ABC Domestic TV, Sandy SooHoo)
