"Although there hasn&amp;#x27;t been a super-duper official announcement from ABC yet, insider-y sources tell Broadcasting &amp;amp; Cable that Kelly Ripa&amp;#x27;s new co-host already been decided! So, who is it?Michael Strahan! The former NFL star and Fox Sports personality has guest hosted before, and it was rumored he was on the short list of finalists for the job. I gotta say though, I&amp;#x27;m a little surprised! I thought surely my big-time crush Seth Meyers had it in the bag. Anyway, I&amp;#x27;m sure Michael will do a bang-up job. He&amp;#x27;s full of energy and has tons of chemistry with Kelly (just watch their adorable banter here), so I&amp;#x27;m all for it (sorry, Seth!). Are you surprised by this news? Who did you think they&amp;#x27;d pick? And what do you think of Michael as co-host?! More TV news... *This Season of The Office Will Be the Show&amp;#x27;s Last *Michael J.
