Jimmy Kimmel will be the first post-Michael Strahan guest co-host of “Live With Kelly Ripa,” ABC announced Tuesday.
The late-night host will join Ripa on May 16, just three days after Strahan departs the ABC morning show to join “Good Morning America” full time.
Kimmel currently hosts the late-night series “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC, but will join the morning team at “Live” as the show rotates the second chair until a permanent replacement is named.
Ripa was said to be upset that she was kept out of the loop on ABC’s plan to switch Strahan to “Good Morning America.”
