REPORTRob Lowe May Be Joining Kelly Ripa as a Co-Host on ‘Live!’

Kelly Ripa may have a new co-host after all!

According to Entertainment Tonight, Rob Lowe is in talks to join her on Live! — and we think he’s the perfect fit for the popular daytime talk show!

When Regis Philbin retired from the show in 2012, Rob, 52, served as a guest-host for two days before Michael Strahan — who recently exited the program — officially joined the series.

“[When] I hosted [Live!] with Kelly [I] had the time of my life,” Rob recently told ET. “I love her. I love being able to talk to an audience every morning like that and just being fun, counter-punching, being silly, and talking about cool stuff.”

The actor even hinted he’s at a good time in his life to take on the coveted role. “My kids are out of the house, they weren’t then. Who knows. But listen, man, I don’t want to go up against Anderson Cooper,” he joked. “I don’t know if I’m going to go back as an actual guest host yet. You never know! You never know.”
