"Live" airs at 9 a.m. on Channel 2.

Ripa's partnered with a steady stream of temporary sidekicks including Andy Cohen, Jimmy Kimmel and Christian Slater since former morning partner Michael Strahan exited about a year ago to focus on "Good Morning America." She stayed away for several days, reportedly furious over how the announcement regarding Strahan was handled.

But the two patched things up and his farewell show was full of love and laughs. Ripa shared a video montage of highlights from his time on the show – including when they visited the White House, the salute to Strahan's Hall of Fame induction and a slew of on- location stunts.

So .. who's next? Looks like she'll make the announcement today.
