I was just thinking what a great chemistry Kelly and Mark have and how funny they are. They are both actors and used with the camera and the public, making it look easy. From all the people that passed by the second chair near Kelly, I see Mark as the best suited to be paired with her. Not that the others were less but they had less chemistry with Kelly and she is the heart of the show. Even with Regis, she was the star, the center of attention, no matter what the jealous women say here.
Beside host she is executive producer too, which means that she invests in the show not just hosts it. I cannot understand the negative feedback (a lot of them) and for what? Regis was too old to host a show he was barely speaking, beside the bad diction that he had all his life. Michael Strahan was a good presence and it was his choice to change to a news show which suits him better than a light entertainment as Live is. Ryan too was a good host but it was a temporary stay as he said from start being a Californian and flying every week back and forth, it wasn’t easy for him.
I think that choosing Mark as co-host was a brilliant idea and they are very good together, funny and entertaining. They are making this morning program fun to see and pass a whole hour, not an easy job to do live and without a script to follow.
