With all the
tumult at All My Children lately, here's some good news. For the 40th anniversary in January 2010,
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos will return to All My Children for a visit. On January 4th and 5th, Kelly and Mark will guest on the show, presumably as their
AMC characters, Hayley and Mateo.
This will be their first return since leaving in 2002. Both have achieved success away from the show, in primetime on dramas and sitcoms, and especially for Kelly on
Live with Regis and Kelly in morning talk. However, they both started on
AMC and, in fact, that was where they met, fell in love, got married and lived happily ever after.

Live with Regis & Kelly. Anderson Cooper guest hosted and
caused some controversy with his questions for
Bachelorette Jillian.

Bob Sassone already did a post on how the amazing
Anderson Cooper caused a little bit of an
accident on the set of Live with Regis and Kelly yesterday morning when he subbed for the Reege. As funny as that -- and really, the entire "host chat" segment was -- it was not my favorite thing that happened on the show yesterday.
That honor goes to Cooper's interview with
The Bachelorette's
Jillian Harris. Harris was on the show with her "fiance," doing the post-finale press tour and shilling for the jeweler who provided the diamond ring that Ed bestowed upon her on Monday's season-ender.
While Kelly stuck to the script and asked the common, "when did you know he was the one?" questions, Anderson wasn't having any of it. He's Anderson freakin' Cooper, and as he demonstrated with his
swift takedown of the Lohan clan, he doesn't have time for the shenanigans of D-list reality stars (except Kathy Griffin). So Cooper, always trying to get to the bottom of the story, flat-out asked Jillian how many dudes she boned in the
Bachelorette mansion.

When a guest host subs for the regular host on a talk show, it's often a real letdown. But that's not the case when Anderson Cooper sits in for Regis on
Live with Regis & Kelly. You can be guaranteed at least one very funny moment. Like yesterday, when he made Kelly laugh so hard something terrible happened. (He's co-host today, too.)

I'm not sure if people were given just a select group of celebrities to choose from or they were allowed to choose anyone they wanted, but a new
poll conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs says that more Americans would like to share a rental home with Kelly Ripa this summer than any other celebrity. After Ripa came the Obamas, then Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Oprah, Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert.
That would be a great reality show though:
Vacation Home. With those above guests? I'd watch that.

He's the Guiness World Record holder for the most time spent in front of a television camera, and now he plans to defend that title for at least three more years. I'm speaking, of course, of Emmy-winning TV host, Regis Philbin.
Regis Philbin renewed his contract with Disney through 2011, assuring that he will be sitting beside Kelly Ripa on
Live with Regis & Kelly till he's 80-years-old.
Make that 80-years-young because even though Regis comes on as a curmudgeon, nobody would call him a grouchy old man. In fact, he's still a hoot to watch in the morning as he goes on about the tabloid headlines, the parties and openings he attended with Joy, and the status of the New York Yankees and Notre Dame football.
Frankly speaking, I'm glad that he's chosen to remain active. To me, ever since the day Johnny Carson retired from
The Tonight Show, that show has never been the same. The Jay Leno years just don't compare. Johnny retired too soon.

Near the end of today's
Live with Regis and Kelly, Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa offered their apologies to the Dominican community over remarks they made on the show last week. It seemed like a sincere apology, even if it was read from a teleprompter.
Anyway, since I don't watch the show every day, I had no idea what remark they were talking about. So I immediately fired up the ol' Google search machine and plugged in "regis kelly dominicans." Sure enough, a story (and accompanying video) came up from our cousins at TMZ about the Reege laughing at a joke where
Kelly associates "donkeys" with "Dominicans," and the ensuing protest by Dominican organizations.
But then
a click on the video clouds the issue a bit.

This could be the first of a new series of features here at TV Squad, where instead of reviewing shows ourselves, the ones we wouldn't ordinarily review, we get celebrities to review them. So Tom Hanks and Kathy Griffin, get your video cameras ready!
The clip after the jump is from
Live with Regis & Kelly. Anderson Cooper is guest hosting this week, and during yesterday's show he took the opportunity to review
Living Lohan, the E! reality show that stars everyone in the Lohan family not named Lindsay. This isn't some "oh, I don't bother with that show because it looks stupid" brush off, Cooper really goes after the people in the show, calling them "horrific" and saying that Ali Lohan "is 14 but looks 60...but I say that with concern and love."

One of the best things about moving your show to New York? New York guest stars.
Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa have signed up to play themselves on the September 25th season premiere of
Ugly Betty. Conveniently,
Ugly Betty's star,
America Ferrera, announced the casting news while she was a guest on ...
Live With Regis & Kelly.
In addition to the morning duo, other guest stars lined up for the new East Coast version of
Betty include Ripa's husband, former
All My Children star
Mark Consuelos and Long Island native
Lindsay Lohan. Lohan is reprising her role as Betty's high school rival for five episodes.
I'm a sucker for shows that are filmed in New York, so I'm super-psyched about this season of
Ugly Betty. Now that they've already snagged Regis & Kelly, what other New Yorkers should
Ugly Betty try to get as a guest star? Personally, my fingers are crossed for
Anderson Cooper. But then again, my fingers are
always crossed for Anderson Cooper.

Jennifer Lopez continues her quest to rule the world with a new reality series on TLC.
The actress, singer, clothing and fragrance entrepreneur, and new mom of twins is partnering with actor-producers Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos on
a new unscripted series about Lopez's life with husband Mark Anthony, according to
The Hollywood Reporter. Lopez will also executive produce the show.
"I think it'll be something very exciting," she said earlier today at the Discovery Network's upfront presentation in Manhattan.

You've heard of Ryan Seacrest, right? Well, one of the most reliable news source in the world,
The Globe, tells us now that the folks behind
Live are courting
Ryan Seacrest to replace Regis Philbin on their morning staple. It makes perfect sense. Consider that Regis, who turns 176 this year, has racked up more hours on television than anyone in history, but now has announced he'll be cutting back his television work to three days a week. Then we have Ryan, who can be seen and heard everywhere from his work on E! to
American Idol to
New Year's Rockin' Eve to his radio show to
American Top 40. Maybe he'd give up his morning radio gig for a morning TV gig. Or maybe record one during the commercial breaks of the other.
I almost missed this story, though, because that same issue of
The Globe promised to show me how to win the Lottery and I'm busy spending all the money I'm gonna win! So for now, we'll say the rumor's unsubstantiated but if the
Weekly World News or
The Onion picks it up, then it's official!

Three weeks ago it was a hot rumor. Now it's a fact. NBC announced that
Kathie Lee Gifford will co-host the fourth hour of Today beginning Monday, April 7th. She'll be teaming up with Hoda Kotb for an hour of chit-chat, info, interviews and what have you. I doubt she'll be singing, but then again, if Kathie Lee can cajole them into rolling a piano onto the set, watch out.
"I am truly honored to join the
Today show family, many of whom have been friends and colleagues of mine for years," said Kathie Lee via release. "And I'm especially looking forward to working with Hoda, a bright and beautiful woman I admire very much. Together I hope we will bring a fresh and fun perspective to the topics that affect all of our daily lives."

So, AOL TV did a poll about
America's favorite talk show hosts and 1.3 million people made their feelings known. Interesting results. I didn't agree with some of them, like who I like waking up with. Diane Sawyer was the top choice, but I'd go for the second place finisher, Matt Lauer. As for whom to go to bed with -- TV talk show wise, that is -- I can't believe most of the people chose Jay Leno. Is he really that popular? I prefer David Letterman; I'm a sucker for the Top Ten lists.

Everyone knew that
Regis Philbin is the king, now he'll have some extra hardware to prove it. Like a
Lifetime Achievement Award from The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. At the upcoming 35th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, June 20 at Hollywood's Kodak Theater, NATAS will present the special honor to Regis, host of
Live With Regis and Kelly, during the primetime ABC broadcast. There will be a salute to Regis, no doubt including
Kelly Ripa and/or Kathie Lee Gifford, his daytime co-hosts over the years, but the details haven't been announced yet.
