Kelly Ripa’s best friend and possible Michael Strahan replacement, Andy Cohen, broke his silence regarding the drama surrounding ABC’s “LIVE! With Kelly and Michael.”

“When I look at this whole situation, it’s worth noting that the two of them, Kelly and Michael, they had such great chemistry—such great chemistry. And I’m just looking at this—it just seems like a premature end to a great relationship. It ended way too prematurely, and I think so much has been written about this situation and how it was handled,” said Cohen during his SiriusXM radio show on April 25. “I can’t say this went down in the greatest way. He had this great relationship on TV and it was a big, bad breakup.”

Cohen, an executive producer for BravoTV’s “Top Chef” and “Real Housewives” franchises, can’t fathom why Strahan would leave “the greatest job in TV” for a position among five anchors on “Good Morning America.”
