Never in a million years buddy!
As you know, Regis Philbin is leaving his morning show he host along side Kelly Ripa. He will retire in November.
Strahan wants the job and has this to say, “Regis [Philbin] is irreplaceable,” Strahan tells the New York Post, “but I feel that his easy nature and natural ability to make people comfortable is something that I would be able to bring to the show. I also know that I have the ability to laugh at myself and not take myself too seriously.”
“I naturally appreciate and respect Kelly and how she has taken over that role and made it seem effortless,” Strahan said, who co-hosted the show on a one-shot basis in October 2010. “I think our chemistry is great and natural. It’s a fun show that doesn’t feel like work but feels more like a conversation. The opportunity to co-host was one of the great experiences of my career so far.”
“I do think I could succeed at daytime television,” Strahan said. “It is definitely an adjustment but one that I think I can slide into without a lot of adjustment. What I do more is opinion-based and spontaneous and personality-driven, which is exactly what Regis and Kelly is about.”
Earlier last week, Strahan characterized the assignment as a “dream job” and a “natural fit,” according to NBC New York.
He was asked if the hosting gig would conflict with his FOX duties and said, “The schedules don’t conflict, and if you love something and really want to do it you will make it happen,”
The schedules may not conflict but hosting a morning show and hosting a football pregame show is something very different. Being able to bring the funny, interview celebs and keep us entertained in my eyes will be too much for Strahan. In my honest opinion.
