TV icon Regis Philbin, 79, said five months ago that he wanted to leave Live With Regis and Kelly in November. While a decision on Philbin’s successor isn’t imminent, Disney has been considering a range of candidates, say people close to Disney-ABC Domestic Television, which distributes the show. Radio-TV personality Ryan Seacrest, 36; TV host and former Bravo executive Andy Cohen, 43; and TV host and actor Mark Consuelos, 40, are all said to be possible contenders. Consuelos is married to Philbin’s co-host, Kelly Ripa.
