‘Live With Kelly:’ TV History Made As Ripa Continues Without Full Time Co-Host

Talk show host Kelly Ripa has unintentionally stumbled her way into television history once more by continuing to steer Live with Kelly without a permanent co-host, according to Decider.

The publication alleges that since May of last year, following the purportedly contentious departure of football great Michael Strahan from the longstanding morning series, the 46-year-old All My Children alum has gone on to lead a 298-day streak (about 42.5 weeks) of episodes that either feature a special guest host or Ripa running the show on her own.

“This is the longest stretch in Live‘s 28-and-a-half year history without a fixed twosome at the desk,” Decider decodes, “but not by much (so far).”
