Kelly Ripa is not quitting her day job or leaving Ryan Seacrest’s side anytime soon despite what you might have heard. According to Women’s Health, there are posts written about Ripa leaving her show so that she can focus her time and energy on her line of skincare for Ultra SK.
“There’s only one problem: Kelly has no affiliation with the skincare products being promoted, and the rumors that she’s parting ways with the show are patently false,” says the exercise magazine in a story posted lasted Wednesday.
There is a good chance that the topic of this scam could come up on Monday’s show when she and Ryan welcome Jonathan “Mindhunter” Groff to the show and if so, she will probably have a lot to say.
Of the four main morning talk shows, Live with Kelly and Ryan is the only one not airing “best of” episodes. Here’s what you expect to see this week:
Live with Kelly and Ryan (Syndicated)
