Jimmy Kimmel Takes Shot at Departed Michael Strahan on 'Live'

Now that the controversy of Live With Kelly and Michael has ended, so begins the carousel of guest hosts. Jimmy Kimmel was a guest host on the newly named Live with Kelly in the wake of former host Michael Strahan’s exit. The comedian couldn’t help but address the elephant in the room. “Where’s Michael?” Kimmel coyly asked as the audience laughed.

Strahan’s departure for Good Morning America was messy, to say the least. But Kimmel was able to poke fun at the situation while also poking fun at himself. “I’m like the ex-boyfriend you go back to for sex after you break up with your husband,” joked Kimmel, again eliciting laughter from the audience.

Kimmel was far from done. He brought in questions from radio personality Howard Stern, who he sat down with earlier that morning. After running through some juvenile thoughts, Kimmel sought the answer to the question on everyone’s mind: Was Friday’s joyous final episode genuine? “Yeah, we don’t fake hug and kiss,” replied Ripa.
