Members dragonflies Posted April 26, 2016 Members Share Posted April 26, 2016 Good he's gone the sooner the better IMO. Also I see it as Kelly's show even though he's in the title. He's expendable she's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cat Posted April 26, 2016 Members Share Posted April 26, 2016 Such a smart power move. She talked about being allowed to be part of the conversation, about respect in the workplace, and basically made Disney look like a bunch of good ole boys making decisions in their high glass towers with another good ole boy (Strahan) with no consideration for the 'lil lady' who represents the show. She highlighted how far women still need to come in order to be taken seriously in the workplace -- while at the same time she showed the PTB that when it comes to public support, she is the one with marketable power. I was surprised at how smart she came across. She turned it all around from a few days before when the media was bitching about her being a spoiled diva and not knowing her place. Having said that, I still wonder if Disney will renege and cancel the show to make way for an extra hour of GMA, just to show Ripa who is boss.

Members Vee Posted April 26, 2016 Members Share Posted April 26, 2016 We forget that Kelly Ripa knows what it means to do hard work that's underappreciated by the networks - she started on the soaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2016 Unless Linda Holmes has changed from her TWOP recap days, her support of women tends to hinge on whether or not there's a man she finds attractive in the vicinity.

Members Vee Posted April 26, 2016 Members Share Posted April 26, 2016 In my defense, I did say "God help us". But IMO she's not wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted April 26, 2016 Members Share Posted April 26, 2016 The Talk was taking about replacements and thought Anderson Cooper would be great for the job and supposedly he could squeeze it in his schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted April 26, 2016 Members Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm good with this as well. If Strahan had stuck around until September, then it might have made for an awkward summer. But this decision might give everyone time to put the controversy, or whatever remains of it after today, in their metaphorical rearview mirrors.

Members quartermainefan Posted April 26, 2016 Members Share Posted April 26, 2016 Watching the YT clip of her return speech I immediately was reminded of the classic golden age of Kathie Lee looking into the camera hijacking the show with her own personal drama. That above clip where he said he was willing to come back and she had this expression of "thanks but never gonna happen" said it all. His love for her is fake, her being proud of him is fake, the standing ovation was ridiculous, and I read now he is out not in September, but May. I don't think they can get away from each other fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Members Share Posted April 26, 2016 Is George Stephanopolus popular with viewers of GMA? He's always annoyed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 27, 2016 Members Share Posted April 27, 2016 In a heartbeat, I would endorse Eva La Rue as Strahan's replacement, if I thought she'd be any good at the job. But since I don't, then nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 27, 2016 Members Share Posted April 27, 2016 I wouldn't mind Jesse tyler ferguson even though he has never done a talk show. I found him funny on The View today. I am sure the job will go to Anderson Cooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
