Getty ImagesFormer Giants defensive end and current FOX analyst Michael Strahan has made no secret of his desire to replace Regis Philbin after Regis retires later this year. Strahan confirmed his interest during an appearance last month on PFT Live.
This week, Strahan gets another chance to show that he has the chops for daytime TV. He’ll sub for Regis and sit with Kelly Ripa on Tuesday’s show, which airs live in most markets at 9:00 a.m. ET.
Strahan has said that he’ll keep his FOX job on Sundays during football season, if he lands the job as the replacement for Regis. Though Strahan has not officially been named as a candidate for the gig, he surely wouldn’t have been invited to sit in at a time when he has made his interest clear if they weren’t thinking about possibly hiring him.

I guess Kelly might be leaving soon too, after this news came out.+

It might actually be worth watching now.

“It might actually be worth watching now.”
heh, and when Tom Brady joins “The View”, will you watch that too?

Nice…still not gonna watch it…and I don’t really care, but Uh, nice.
What…an NFL player who is an “entertainer and an Icon.” I guess Cam was right about ahletes being “entertainers” but should have consulted those in the elite media first for his talking points.
What’s next – nominations to replacer Katie on CBS evening news? Perhaps ‘Big Dadddy’ has some suggestions!
He’ll have Rue Paul as one of his guests
