Yhe reason the show is doing so well is only because of Michael. Not Kelly :NO TALENT: Ripa
Live is definitely doing well this year. It mostly airing in the morning it is really surprising it beats the afternoon talk shows so often now.
Live! has the advantage of having a standard airing time across the country, where almost all of the other talk shows don’t.
Despite the ratings, Live! still sucks with Kelly.
