In 2001, she replaced Kathie Lee Gifford as Regis Philbin’s morning talk show co-host, and the show was renamed Live with Regis and Kelly. After Regis retired, Michael Strahan was named as his permanent replacement. The show, for which Kelly Ripa’s current annual salary is reportedly $20 million, is now called Live with Kelly and Michael.
