On Nov. 21, 2011, Live! with Kelly debuted following the departure of longtime host Regis Philbin, and in the following months, 59 different men and women sat next to Kelly at the co-host desk, personalities from every area of broadcasting and entertainment. One individual from that immensely talented group has been tapped to fill the spot permanently.
