Kelly Ripa to Share Mid-July ‘Live’ Week With These 2 Guest Co-Hosts
Kelly Ripa has five original episodes to fill during the week of July 11 but just two guest co-hosts with which she will share the stage.
Ripa will welcome “Dancing With the Stars” judge Carrie Ann Inaba and “Wonder Years” alum Fred Savage to her syndicated talker “Live” that week. Inaba nabs Monday and Tuesday, while Savage gets Wednesday through Friday.
This will mark the “DWTS” personality’s first turn on the couch since the highly public departure of former Ripa co-host Michael Strahan.

Meanwhile, Savage already guest co-hosted on May 23 and May 25.
That first time, he helped Ripa earn a strong 2.9 rating, per syndicated Nielsen numbers. Two days later, they got a 2.7 together.
“Live With Kelly” is distributed in national syndication by Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and TV Distribution. The show is produced by WABC-TV in New York and executive produced by Michael Gelman.
