Neil Patrick Harris Will Guest Co-Host 'Live! With Kelly'
Kelly Ripa will be joined by Neil Patrick Harris at the 'Live! With Kelly' table for a week.Harris will guest co-host the show for five days, Nov. 28 - Dec. 2.
The 'How I Met Your Mother' star will be the second guest co-host to join Ripa after Regis Philbin leaves the show Fri., Nov. 18. Harris will follow Jerry Seinfeld, who will co-host from Mon., Nov. 21 to Wed., Nov. 23.
When Kathie Lee Gifford left the series in 2000, the show followed a similar format of rotating guest co-hosts, auditioning for her replacement until Ripa became the permanent co-host in 2001.
During the week of Nov. 28, Ripa and Harris will interview Betty White, Maya Rudolph, Marcia Cross, Molly Sims, Angie Harmon and Kristen Johnston. Musical guests during Harris' 'Live!' stint will include Avril Lavigne, Hot Chelle Rae and Cobra Starship. Science Bob will also return with a special demo.
Fans need not worry about Ripa going away anytime soon. The talk show host recently signed a deal that will keep her with the show for another five years after her current deal expires in 2012.
