[@thatgirlkells5505]

Shoes are fire!!!!

[@Oksana531]

I remember when she first took over on Good Morning America for Kathy Lee Gifford. I so doubted she could fill that role in the same way Kathy did. She and Regis had such a natural vibe with each other and they were closer in age as well so it really seemed like such a perfect pair. Plus they had done it for so long I just couldn’t picture anyone else in her shoes. My mother and I used to watch them every morning. However, Kelly Rippa turned out to be impossible not to like. She’s infectious in a good way. She grew on me quickly and I love her now. I still felt bad they got rid of Kathy and I bet it had nothing to do with anything besides her age. Back then over 40 on live tv didn’t exist for women. Men- yes but women- no way. Nowadays she’s got her daytime show with Hoda but for a while she was nowhere to be found. Or at least that’s how I remember it. I was still young then so it’s possible I skipped a beat. Anyways, Kelly is awesome and she frickin just doesn’t age. I swear she drinks from the fountain of youth every morning or something. I need whatever she has lol.

[@LindaC616]

Wow. A lot to unpack there. She and Kathy Lee were never of GMA. Kathy Lee had Today show 3 rd hour, and Live with Regis. Kelly went straight to Live with Regis. Hoda still has that 3rd hour, but with someone else

[@annettearellano7700]

It's Live with Regis that she joined and has been on since 2001
