The Wildest Morning and Talk Show Scandals
10 Wild Talk Show Scandals That Make The Morning Show Look Tame

Remember when Live! With Kelly and Michael became just Live! With Kelly? Everyone was pretty shocked by the news — and apparently, so was Kelly Ripa. After four years of cohosting alongside Ripa, who had served as a host since 2001, Michael Strahan's sudden exit from the show to join Good Morning America was anything but smooth. That was probably due to the fact that Ripa received the same internal memo sent out to all of ABC about Strahan's leaving at the same time as everyone else.
Ripa took some time off from the show after receiving the news, later telling People that she felt disrespected by how the news was handled. "When you're dealing with big business, it's easy to forget that you're dealing with people and that people have feelings," she said. Two years later, Strahan asserted that he had made the best decision for himself and his career and didn't have any regrets. "There's nothing I would have done differently," he told E! News.
