It’s been a few months since former co-host Michael Strahan left “Live with Kelly and Michael” and Kelly Ripa has been on the hunt again for a new partner.
So far, she’s shared the stage with celebrities like Fred Savage, Ciara, Tyler Perry and Matt Bomer. But now, Fox journalist Megyn Kelly is set to come to the morning show … the day after the election.
Aside from hosting “The Kelly File,” Megyn Kelly has been accused by GOP candidate Donald Trump for treating him unfairly. According to him, Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever” when she asked about his treatment of women.
While the timing of Kelly’s appearance on LIVE should make for an interesting conversation, if Megyn Kelly doesn’t work out, ENTITY’s put together a collection of potential candidates.
Sure, she’s only 12 years old and is probably busy filming the second season of “Stranger Things,” but she’s been one of Hollywood’s biggest breakout stars this year. At such a young age, she’s already got such a fierce and stunning persona. Perhaps she can even give us some advice on how to survive ‘The Upside Down.’
Many people know Priscilla Chan as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s wife, but she is inspirational in her own right. Chan is a pediatrician and the founder and CEO of The Primary School, a nonprofit private school in East Palo Alto. She’s also been on the news recently for starting a new initiative with Zuckerberg to cure diseases. Even if she doesn’t have much hosting experience, her professional expertise and philanthropy background could add some color to your morning show.
Actress, singer, dancer – this woman does it all! Not to mention, she can also add the title “fashion designer” to her repertoire. Zendaya has been a positive role model for young women everywhere and she was also declared one of TIME‘s top 30 most influential women. Perhaps she’ll be able to teach us a thing or two as a talk show host.
Janet Mock already has extensive experience on television as the host of her own culture show, “So POPupar!” She also worked with MSNBC, the Global Citizen Festival and Entertainment Tonight. But aside from her television persona, Mock is best known for being a transgender rights activist and the bestselling author of “Redefining Realness.” She’s successful, unapologetic and works to empower men and women everywhere.
Cyrus is currently a coach on NBC’s “The Voice,” but her vivacious character could be the perfect element for a talk show. Besides, she’s already guest hosted for SNL and Ellen DeGeneres so why not, right? Perhaps she could talk more about her engagement with Liam Hemsworth, her work with homeless youth or her experiences with Adam Levine’s and Blake Shelton’s bickering.
Lady Gaga got a try at the hosting gig on “The Late Late Show” with James Corden this week. Even if she’s a better performer than she is a host, Mother Monster – or “Lady Haha” as she calls herself – does have a couple of jokes up her sleeve.
With “America’s Next Top Model” over, Banks now has some time to squeeze in a new talk show gig. The supermodel and businesswoman already has some experience from her daytime talk show “FABLife.” And with her new experience as a mother, Banks will probably have lots to talk about with Kelly Ripa.
