During the May 16 broadcast of “LIVE! With Kelly,” guest co-host Jimmy Kimmel stated he had 75 questions for Kelly Ripa that he'd like the answers to. Apparently, Howard Stern wanted the answers to some of those questions as well.
Kimmel dropped in on Stern before his appearance alongside Ripa, where the two collaborated on questions for the mother of two.
“I want to know: Will she ever talk to Michael Strahan again?” Stern asked Kimmel.
Stern’s co-host Robin Quivers and staffer Fred Norris also posed questions of their own.
“First of all, I want to know how she is dealing with the ABC executives who ignored her as if she wasn’t even there?” Quivers inquired. Norris wanted to know “Did she hurt her voice after hearing the news about Michael’s hiring?”
Norris also inquired about Ripa’s former sidekick, Regis Philbin.
“Why doesn’t she talk to Regis?” he asked. “Allegedly she hasn’t spoken to him since he left the show.”
Stern also wanted to know if the former soap opera actress’s feelings are hurt when she was referred to as a “diva.”
Reports suggested that Ripa and Strahan weren’t compatible, hence his need to leave the morning show.
