    Live With Kelly And Mark - General Discussion

    in Live With Kelly And Mark

    It's not complete, but I rounded up a list of over 60 people who have guest co-hosted with Kelly Ripa:

     

    Alec Baldwin
    Anderson Cooper
    Andy Samberg
    Apolo Ohno
    Ben Mulroney
    Boomer Esiason
    Bryant Gumbel
    Carl Edwards
    Carrie Ann Inaba
    Carson Kressley
    Cat Deeley
    Chris Harrison
    D.L. Hughley
    Dan Abrams
    Dana Carvey
    Daniel Dae Kim
    Daniel Radcliffe
    David Duchovny
    David Muir
    Derek Hough
    Ed Robertson
    Fred Savage
    Howie Mandel
    Jeff Probst
    Jerry O’Connell
    Jerry Seinfeld
    Jesse Palmer
    Jim Parsons
    Jimmy Kimmel
    Joel McHale
    Jonah Hill
    Josh Groban
    Kevin Jonas
    Kevin Jonas
    Kim Kardashian
    Kristen Chenoweth
    Kyle MacLachlan
    L.A. Reid
    Lucy Liu
    Mario Lopez
    Mark Conseulos
    Mark Cuban
    Mark Feuerstein
    Martin Short
    Mary J Blige
    Mathew Broderick
    Matthew Morrison
    Michael Buble
    Michael Buckley
    Michael Strahan
    Mike Greenberg
    Neil Patrick Harris
    Nick Lachey
    Pat Kiernan
    Peter Facinelli
    Randy Jackson
    Reggie Bush
    Rob Lowe
    Sam Champion
    Seth Meyers
    Taye Diggs
    Tony Potts
    Tyler Perry

     

    After Regis the three finalists to replace him were Seth Meyers, Josh Groban and Michael Strahan.  

     

    Comments about others on the list:

     

    Most on the list were fine for a one-day fill-in, but would never be in consideration for the permanent job.  Many others very capable (Mario Lopez) already have regular jobs in place.

     

    Mark Conseulos will only be an occasional guest host and never the permanent host.

     

    Anderson Cooper and Kelly consistently deliver fantastic host chats for those opening 15-20 minutes.  If AC is interested it could be a short and easy search.

     

    Jeff Probst and Kelly have perfect chemistry and he should be on the short list this time as his talk show kept him out of the mix the previous go-around.  Survivor tapes back-to-back for both seasons in the summer, so some cooperation with CBS & ABC would be needed.

     

    Howie Mandel, Jerry O'Connell, Jimmy Kimmel &  Joel McHale are great as a guest co-host, but too much to take for the daily gig.

     

    Martin Short is plain too much to consider for more than 1 day.

     

    Neil Patrick Harris is probably too polarizing for the regular gig, but he is quite good with all of the skills needed for the job.

     

    Boomer Esiason was the worst I have ever seen.

     

    I do not think the show would try to copy Kathie Lee & Hoda with a 2-woman show.

     

    Michael Buckley was the winner of a coast-to-coast search, so I'm sure that stunt will be repeated to cover a week's worth of shows.

     

    Most importantly: Producer Michael Gelman and his staff know the show well and will make the correct decision.

    S27.E12: We Got A Chance, Baby!

    in The Amazing Race

    · Edited by WhoisMark

    Is the way this show operates not obvious season after season.  All these posts about being happy with the winner, finding out ahead who won just who you could watch or so worried that the wrong team might win etc. make me laugh.

     

    The nicest team with the best edit wins every season.  It was very obvious weeks ago that Kelsey and Joey had to be the winners.

     

    The team with the worst edit comes in third:  That's Logan and Chris.

     

    The team that gets the most airtime will be second.  Justin and Diana dominated the time devoted to them.

     

    If Justin and Diana had won the race all of you would still be happy because they would have been portrayed differently.   Whatever negative factors there were about Joey and Kelsey would have aired.

     

    The Race people present this nice package every season that "Kum-ba-yah" keeps viewers happy.

     

    I hope next season's YouTube stunt somehow turns out better than it looks in the previews.

    S09.E25: Live Semi-Final Results

    in The Voice (US)

    Barrett making the finals did not surprise me at all:

     

    Wife & Kids

    Teacher

    Tall

    Plane Crash Story

    Team Blake

     

    All of that was going to trump any singing and performance deficiencies.  Those factors even managed to negate the producers having him lead off the show.  Backstories matter on voting shows.

    S02.E24: Girl Meets Belief

    in Girl Meets World [V]

    I have never used the term "fiveski" or heard it used by anyone else for a $5 bill.  Finski, yes.  Sometimes I can't turn off my "Jeopardy!" brain while watching such shows.  Mr. Matthews said Jefferson died over 200 years ago.  2015-1826=189 years ago.

     

    Looks like the next episode is December 4th.

    S07.E05: Switch Witch, Three Jerks Jerky, The Skinny Mirror, xCraft

    in Shark Tank

    I applauded Kevin's remarking about burning Switch Witch at the stake.  My trick or treating days were over 35 years ago and I would have gone all Chuck Heston (From my cold dead hands) if anyone wanted my loot.  There is no bribe or story my parents could have offered to get me to hand over my haul.  $1 a pound from the local orthodontist was no incentive either.  Those entrepreneurs were dead to me as soon as I heard the pitch.

     

    And as is my tradition (since I only have 20-70 at the door depending on day of the week & weather) I will be handing out full-sized candy next Saturday.  Any leftovers?  Mine!

    Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris - General Discussion

    in Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris

    · Edited by WhoisMark

    Wow.  Hardly any comments?  I floved this one. This telling celebrities what to do is not a new concept (see: Repeat After Me which oddly enough is not on Wendi McLendon-Covey's IMDB page) but when the stars are good sports and get into it I always find it funny.

     

     

     

    For WMC's IMDb page the credit is there for Repeat After Me.  It's under the "Self" tab though since she was playing herself in the role of host.

    BTE has entertained me enough each week to keep watching even though some of the segments are quite familiar from watching Ellen's talk show.  It's scheduled for a total of eight weeks.

    S10.E23: Semi-Final Performances 2

    in America's Got Talent

    Paul Zerdin gave a fantastic end to the night with Howie the perfect accomplice.  It's a performance that will easily earn a spot to the finals with none of that save or judges tiebreaker nonsense.  

     

    I thought the chip drawer (Gee, I could not tell those were Lays with the red tape covering the name) of The Professional Regurgitator was crazy until he got to that insane candy drawer.

     

    Clear out the singers and bring on the variety acts for moving on to the finals.

    S10.E12: 10 Year Anniversary Special

    in America's Got Talent

    Terry Fator. 

    Olate Dogs. 

    Dustin's Dojo. 

    Jackie Evancho

    Leonid the Magnificent. 

    Kaitlyn "I'm from America" Maher.

     

    and the show would not have been complete without Prince Poppycock.

     

    Neal Boyd and Michael Grimm got little air time as their seasons were NBC's producers got talent.

     

    I would have found a spot to include Ulysses singing "Love Boat" during the two hours. There were multiple spots to hit the fast forward button, but overall it was a nice revisit of the ten seasons.
