Kelly Ripa Continues with Rotating Hosts and Search Continues

Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa and Andy Cohen

After almost five months, the search for a "replacement" for Regis Philbin on "Live with Kelly" continues.

No announcement has been made and even the speculation has been scarce.  The list seems to include the following, Rob Lowe, Pat Kiernan, Mark Consuelos, Neil Patrick Harris, Nick Lachey, but no front runner has emerged.

In the meantime, a new set is being unveiled on Monday, April 9th, which will also start "House of DJ Week" with five of the country's top DJ's appearing and "spinning tunes, appropriate since the new set will include more production space for performances and demo segments, and an updated lighting system with state-of-the-art LED fixtures."  Here is the "Live with Kelly" schedule of co-hosts for the next couple of weeks:
