Anderson Cooper realized a dream when he co-hosted “Live with Kelly” with Kelly Ripa on June 1.

Cooper filled in as guest host on the morning talk show as ABC executives continue to vet candidates to permanently replace Michael Strahan.

Though the CNN newsman is reportedly a candidate to replace the retired football player, Cooper said he hadn’t heard any news regarding the vacant position during an April interview with “Watch What Happens Live.”

“It would be a dream to work with Kelly, but nobody’s offering anything so …” he said to Andy Cohen. “Listen, I love Kelly and I think that show is—Kelly is the heart and soul of that show and it’s going to go on and continue to be great.”
