Is Kelly without Regis going to make it? SEINFELD seems overbearing

[UTUSN]

If they're calling it "Live with Kelly" until they pick a permanent co-host, why didn't they give her a week without a co-host, especially SEINFELD for the whole week, where he seems to take over the screen.

She was in the "power" seat for part of the first show and she got to spin the wheel, but then they switched seats and she went back to her submissive seat. I've missed the next day so I don't know where she sat or how she reached the wheel from the other end of the counter.


She really flourished in the protected/controlled greenhouse, playing against the older, klutzy, doofus Regis who was willing (generous) to let himself look foolish, instead of her seeming favorite Anderson COOPER or SEINFELD who just take over.

1. Well, she really isn't that interesting or funny, is she?

I think she was born to play second fiddle, not first chair.

2. Well, she needs to bounce off somebody, then is interesting/funny?

Lucy bounced off Ricky but was first chair.

3. I saw a few minutes this morning because of Miss Piggy...

they even fell flat with Miss Piggy! How is that possible?

Kelly seemed wooden. But I'm not a regular viewer so I'm not sure how this compares much.

I think you are right about giving her some time on her own, though.

6. Plus for the first FIVE MINUTES Seinfeld never shut up, never let her get a word in

And he seems condescending to her, although they both mentioned that the two married couples are intimate friends.

4. When she got the job it made me long for Kathie Lee

...and I can't stand Kathie Lee.

5. Betty White was asked.

When Betty White was on Morning Joe this week somebody asked her if she would like to have Regis' job. Always amazingly quick with a punch-line Betty answered, "No, I don't want to have Regis' job, I want to have Regis!"
