Since Kelly Ripa and the producers of "Live with Kelly" have not yet filled the co-host position vacated by the incomparable Regis Philbin, they need to start considering real alternative possibilities.

cant believe they havent booked him yet wtf?
He would bring something totally different to the table. Love his energy.
the world needs more sinatra experts on tv in the morning.
I been listening to his radio show for years and he honestly has the perfect personality for daytime tv. give the guy a shot kelly!
Gil is the best! The show would actually be fun to watch again if he was on it.
I would put the show on my syllabus if Dr. Gigliotti is the host.
