Search for Regis Philbin Successor Narrows

Regis Philbin declared 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, sources close to Disney-ABC Domestic Television said they have narrowed down their choices.

Radio and television personality Ryan Seacrest, TV host and former Bravo executive Andy Cohen and TV host and actor Mark Consuelos are all possible contenders.

A spokeswoman for Disney-ABC declined to comment, saying that because Philbin isn’t expected to leave the show until November, “it’s ridiculous at this point to be speculating about who will replace him.”

The show’s organizers plan to reboot “Live With Regis and Kelly” once Disney-ABC executives find a new anchor.
