Live with Regis and Kelly is a syndicated American television talk show, hosted by Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa. Before 2000, the show was known as Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, with Kathie Lee Gifford co-hosting with Philbin. After Kathie Lee left, it was Live with Regis with only Regis hosting before Ripa was added in 2001.
The program has aired for 24 years in its home market of New York City in its current format, and 19 years nationwide.
It was announced on January 16, 2007, that Live with Regis and Kelly has been renewed through the 2010-2011 season. The franchise will reach its 25th anniversary in 2008.
This popular and long-running morning talk show owes much of its success to the chemistry between its two hosts, Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford. Although the format is not significantly different from most other morning shows, viewers are attracted to the pair's conversations about their families and personal lives.
