Mental Health Awareness!

Bruce Willis has dementia.

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend’s social media updates or dial 911 in an emergency. Learn more on the Lifeline’s website or the Crisis Text Line’s website.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) confirms he went to Walter Reed Medical Center to be treated for clinical depression. President Joe Biden had offered his support to the embattled senator.

"John, Gisele – Jill and I are thinking about your family today," Biden wrote in a tweet. "Millions of people struggle with depression every day, often in private. Getting the care you need is brave and important."

"We're grateful to you for leading by example,' the president added.

Reports later on Friday indicate that Fetterman may be in the hospital for several weeks as he receives treatment.

Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

Willis’ family, including ex-wife Demi Moore, said in a statement on Thursday that his aphasia diagnosis, which the family announced in March, had progressed to frontotemporal dementia. Willis is 67.

Frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, refers to a collection of disorders that primarily affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. The diseases that fall under this umbrella are neurodegenerative, meaning they get worse over time.
Generally, there are two subdiagnoses, according to Dr. Paul Barton Rosenberg, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

"One is a behavioral variant, where people can have a change in their personality and lose their inhibitions and social graces," Rosenberg said. "Another is primary progressive aphasia, where people have trouble finding words or expressing themselves."

In their Thursday statement, the Willis family said that "unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces."

"While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis," the family wrote in its Instagram post, which was signed by the "Ladies of Willis.

The extreme right relentless harass John and Gisele Fetterman.

Don Lemon is iced after making a remark about the hypocrisy of Nimrata Randhawa (aka Nikki Haley) when she discussed race in America. Many saw her remarks as an insult to people like herself who an Indian American politician.

CNN has place Lemon on ice. The controversial CEO, Chris Licht had warned CNN workers that politics will be taking a backseat. He demands they take a stance without the click-bait noise he sees in its competitors.

The extreme right is mocking Fetterman for opening up about clinical depression. After having that stroke, he has to maintain a lifestyle that keeps him alive. It has been a long road to recovery for the Pennsylvania lawmaker. Stroke recovery often leads to depression and suicidal thoughts. 

During the 2022 Midterms, Republicans and Fox were using Fetterman's stroke as a weapon to help boast Mehmet Oz, a decertified doctor to win the senate race.

Many of these agitators are not doctors but assume the president has dementia. It is another disgusting troupe aimed at older Americans. Hell, they are attacking former president Jimmy Carter while awaiting his passing.

Don Lemon has mental health issues. The extreme right has attack his race, sexuality and his politics. They want him fired for a Nikki Haley dig. Yet, they attack John Fetterman, President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton without consequences.

Fox has used sexist, racist and homophobic troupes on their programs like it's nothing. I mean when Hillary Clinton ran, the same folks like Softball Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Clay Travis and Jesse Watters were saying she was too old, making up conspiracies about her mental health and acting like her email server was the biggest scandal over allowing 9/11 (George W. Bush) to happen or a epic failure of a coronavirus pandemic go so terribly wrong (Washed Up 45).

Lemon has. said far worse than this. However, criticizing a politician who repudiates her own name, her own heritage, dismissing racism and attacking a woman who shares her own heritage (Vice President Kamala Harris): she deserve the criticism.

Nimrata Randhawa Nikki Haley is well past her season. I don't take her a serious contender for president for the very fact she has to hide her heritage and name to gain attention from white nationalists.

I said it, what you gonna do about it?

Preparing For The End!

Jimmy Carter is preparing for the end.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former presidents Donald J. Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, former vice presidents Mike Pence, Dick Cheney, Al Gore and Dan Quayle were informed about former president Jimmy Carter being admitted to hospice.

The former presidents and current will address his passing in the coming days.

Biden, 80 is the oldest living president who is currently serving as the 46th President of the United States. Trump was the previous holder and then Ronald Reagan.

The 39th President of the United States, James Earl Carter Jr. served from 1977 until 1981.

A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the 76th governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975 and as a Georgia state senator from 1963 to 1967. Since leaving office, Carter has remained engaged in political and social projects, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian work.

He was dealt a major blow to his one term. Republicans upset over Gerald Ford being defeated, the rise of Roger Stone, Roger Ailes and Lee Atwater, inflation, the tension in the Middle East, culture wars and a Democratic Party challenger named Ted Kennedy.

All of this paved the way for Ronald Reagan and the conservative revolution.

He is the oldest living former president at the age of 98. Trump will be the oldest former living president, then George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Carter will receive hospice care at home instead of treatment at the hospital, according to a social media message from The Carter Center.

While campaigning for Raphael Warnock and Stacey Abrams, President Joe Biden with First Lady Jill Biden paid former president Jimmy Carter and Roselyn a visit.

The Center, a charity created by Carter, said Saturday that the former president had experienced a series of short hospital stays before deciding to “spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.”

In August 2015, Carter had a small cancerous mass removed from his liver. The following year, Carter announced that he needed no further treatment, as an experimental drug had eliminated any sign of cancer.

Carter celebrated his most recent birthday in October with family and friends in Plains, the tiny Georgia town where he and his wife, Rosalynn, were born in the years between World War I and the Great Depression.

Known for his Christian faith, Carter continued teaching Sunday School at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains well into his 90s.

The Carter Center, which the 39th president and the former first lady established after their one White House term, last year marked 40 years of promoting democracy and conflict resolution, monitoring elections, and advancing public health in the developing world.

A moment of solidarity. President-elect Barack Obama poses with then president George W. Bush, his father George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

Born and raised in Plains, Georgia, Carter graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1946 with a Bachelor of Science degree and joined the United States Navy, serving on numerous submarines. After the death of his father in 1953, he left his naval career and returned home to Plains, where he assumed control of his family's peanut-growing business. He inherited little, due to his father's forgiveness of debts and the division of the estate amongst himself and his siblings. Nevertheless, his ambition to expand and grow the family's peanut farm was fulfilled. During this period, Carter was encouraged to oppose racial segregation and support the growing civil rights movement. 

He became an activist within the Democratic Party. From 1963 to 1967, Carter served in the Georgia State Senate, and in 1970 was elected as governor of Georgia, defeating former Governor Carl Sanders in the Democratic primary. He remained in office until 1975. Despite being a dark-horse candidate who was not well known outside of Georgia, he won the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination. In the 1976 presidential election, Carter ran as an outsider and narrowly defeated incumbent Republican president Gerald Ford.

On his second day in office, Carter pardoned all Vietnam War draft evaders by issuing Proclamation 4483. During his term, two new cabinet-level departments—the Department of Energy and the Department of Education—were established. He created a national energy policy that included conservation, price control, and new technology. Carter pursued the Camp David Accords, the Panama Canal Treaties, and the second round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT II). On the economic front he confronted stagflation, a persistent combination of high inflation, high unemployment, and slow growth. 

Then president Donald J. Trump greets Barack Obama at George H.W. Bush funeral. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and future president Joe Biden were there.

The end of his presidency was marked by the 1979–1981 Iran hostage crisis, the 1979 energy crisis, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, the Nicaraguan Revolution, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In response to the invasion, Carter escalated the Cold War when he ended détente, imposed a grain embargo against the Soviets, enunciated the Carter Doctrine, and led a 1980 Summer Olympics boycott in Moscow. He is the only president to have served a full term in office and not have appointed a justice to the Supreme Court. 

In the 1980 Democratic Party presidential primaries, he was challenged by Senator Ted Kennedy, but won re-nomination at the 1980 Democratic National Convention. Carter lost the 1980 presidential election in an electoral landslide to Republican nominee Ronald Reagan. Polls of historians and political scientists generally rank Carter as a below-average president, although his post-presidential activities have been viewed more favorably than his presidency.

Washed Up 6nitch 9ine Caused Chaos In Cuba!

Washed up rapper in Russia.

Daniel Hernandez aka Takeshi 6ix 9ine is a broke rapper. He owes the federal government millions, he is on federal watch and the Bloods wants his head.

He is still facing lawsuits over his sexual predatory behavior and owes child support for his four children (two he claims).

His music isn't popular. 

He joins Lil Pump, Lil Wayne, Jaheim, Ye, Forgito Blow, Ray J, Kodak Black, Ice Cube, Styles P, Joy Villa and Waka Flocka Flame in the never gonna sale cause y'all asses supported Washed Up 45.

Now he may face a permanent ban from entry to Cuba and a possible violation of his probation. The U.S. and Cuba are still in the embargo phase, a relic of the Cold War and Fidel Castro era. However, during the Obama years, he eased restrictions for U.S. citizens to visit Cuba. Many travelers are granted a special travel visa to enter the country.

The Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued general licenses for 12 categories of travel. Individuals who meet the regulatory conditions of the general license they seek to travel under do not need to apply for an additional license from OFAC to travel to Cuba. The 12 categories of authorized travel to Cuba are: family visits; official business of the U.S. government, foreign governments, and certain intergovernmental organizations; journalistic activity; professional research and professional meetings; educational activities; religious activities; public performances, clinics, workshops, athletic and other competitions, and exhibitions; support for the Cuban people; humanitarian projects; activities of private foundations or research or educational institutes; exportation, importation, or transmission of information or informational materials; and certain authorized export transactions.

A video circulating on social media shows the moment people started running towards the front of the hotel while what look like dollar bills can be seen floating in the air.

“Look, he threw money,” a Cuban man is heard saying in Spanish in the video. He later added “look at the Cuban people,” when more passersby joined the crowd. According to Cuban independent news outlet 14ymedio, the rapper started throwing the bills from a car in front of the hotel. Other outlets reported that he threw the bills from a hotel window. While condemning the act and calling it “shameful,” Cuban official outlet Cubadebate also remained open to the possibility that someone impersonating the musician might have been to blame.

Shouting for the moolah.

On Friday, the rapper published an Instagram story suggesting the money might not have even been real. He shared a video of a man saying, “I ain’t go no money, that money you be seeing me with on Instagrams that be fake money, props.”

In any case, Cuban authorities do not seem to have liked the stunt, as the Cubadebate article suggests. Their readers left several comments criticizing the gesture of throwing money — common among rappers — as “humiliating” to the Cuban people.

Hernandez, 26, a New York rapper of Mexican heritage, was sentenced to two years in prison in the U.S. in 2019 for crimes he committed while he was a member of a violent gang. He was charged with conspiracy to murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, racketeering and carrying a firearm. He faced several years in prison but accepted a plea and cooperated with U.S. authorities to get a reduced sentence.

It is unclear which license if any the rapper is using to visit Havana. Tourism to Cuba is still prohibited, but the Biden administration again allowed group travel to the island under the “people-to-people” educational travel category. U.S. travel agencies can organize tours to take Americans to Cuba, but they must include cultural and educational activities.

On his two Instagram pages, Hernandez has posted videos working out in Havana and running along the Malecon seaside promenade, hanging out at the hotel pool and looking at the multitude of fans in the street through his hotel window.

Another Faker In The GOP!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. George Santos (R-NY) and Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) are conspiracy theorists and serial liars. Oh, they're white nationalists too.

The lawmaker who yelled "You're fault" when President Joe Biden addressed the opioid epidemic is a George Santos type.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) is a white nationalist who was then mayor of Maury County.

He is a bullshit artist.

According to a Thursday report from WTVF, a local Nashville CBS affiliate, Ogles repeatedly misrepresented himself as "an economist," boasted about nearly nonexistent experience in law enforcement, including handling "international sex crimes," and exaggerated his role working for a nonprofit combating human trafficking.

Ogles' office told Fox News Digital that the discrepancies are due to "condensing his résumé" while on the campaign trail, and that the reported accusations are fueled by political bias. Republicans are facing increased scrutiny after revelations that Santos falsified details of his life beyond just his education credentials.

WTVF reported instances in which Ogles claimed to be an economist, and noted that he also claims in his congressional bio to have studied "policy and economics" at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). The outlet reported, however, that Ogles has never worked as an economist, and that a 2009 résumé and a background check indicate that he studied international relations, psychology and English while at MTSU.

Ogles provided an image of his 2007 Bachelor of Science degree from the school, though it doesn't state what he actually majored in.

Ogles' office told Fox News, however, that he spent time "developing his experience in economic and tax policies" while working at the conservative political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity, as well as with economist Arthur Laffer. Ogles' office told Fox News that he also received economic training and obtained professional certificates from business schools at Dartmouth and Vanderbilt. 

Additionally, WTFV reported that Ogles previously worked in what appears to be an administrative role as executive director at the Laffer Center for Supply-Side Economics, but that no economic reports from the institution authored by him could be found on its website.

The report said Ogles claimed to have become "a nationally recognized expert on tax policy and healthcare, having been featured in numerous publications, including The Wall Street Journal and Investor’s Business Daily" while working at the Laffer Center, but that a search of those sites showed just three columns he wrote while a lobbyist for Americans for Prosperity before he worked at the center, and none of which cited him as an expert in economics.

On Ogles' law enforcement claims, the report noted that during his race last year, he referred to himself during a debate as "a former member of law enforcement, worked in international sex crimes, specifically child trafficking," along with other examples of him using similar language.

Andy Ogles is an idiot.

WTVF's investigation found that Ogles was actually sworn in as a volunteer reserve deputy with the Williamson County Sheriff's Office in 2009, but lost the position two years later for failing to meet training and meeting attendance standards.

The outlet reported that the Williamson County Sheriff"s office said "there is nothing in Mr. Ogles' training or personnel file that indicates he had any involvement in 'international sex trafficking' in his capacity as a reserve deputy." Ogle's office, however, said the congressman never claimed to have worked in sex trafficking investigations while he was a reserve deputy.

According to the report, Ogles did do work for Abolition International, a nonprofit working to end human sex trafficking and modern-day slavery, as the group's chief operating officer, claiming he was "heavily involved in the fight against human trafficking."

WTVF found in the group's tax records that he worked only part-time for the group, making just $4,000 working 20 hours per week for a portion of the year 2011, and that an archived version of the group's website showed its work consisted of making grants to "holistic ministries" in just a handful of countries.

Ogles, a freshman member of Congress, was first elected in the 2022 midterm elections, and quickly gained name recognition as one of the few Republican holdouts seeking to derail now-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's ascension into the role last month.

When reached for comment, Ogles' office attributed WTVF's report as "an attempt by the liberal media to make something out of nothing."

"It's a simple case of condensing a résumé for the sake of brevity on the campaign trail, and partisan hacks are trying to turn it into a headline for clicks," a spokesperson for Ogles said in a statement.

"Congressman Ogles is proud of the time he spent developing his experience in economic and tax policies with well-known economist Dr. Arthur Laffer and Americans for Prosperity. He was honored to serve as a reserve deputy for the Williamson County Sheriff's Department and as the Chief Operating Officer for Abolition International, which provided resources and operational support to anti-human trafficking efforts worldwide," it added.

Rush Limbaugh Still Gone!

Someone urinated on Rush Limbaugh's grave. It shows the far right agitator's divisive history has consequences.

An American bigot is no longer among us. 

Even though I hate to admit it, Limbaugh was the king of talk.

Rush Hudson Limbaugh III died on February 17th, 2021, three weeks after Joe Biden took the oath of office as the 46th President of the United States. He died of stage IV lung cancer.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton now are the hosts of his afternoon program but are no where close to what Limbaugh was.

Washed Up 45 and Tucker Carlson are now the helms of a hateful legacy.

When Limbaugh passed away, one would imagine that Sean "Softball" Hannity would be the No. 1 talk show host in the country. Nope. It turns out that Mark Levin and Glenn Beck are the leaders of far right talk. Brian Kilmeade is closing in on being the 3rd.

Softball Hannity is the most annoying media personality in the country. He can never match what Limbaugh was.

There will never be another Rush Limbaugh. Known as Jeff Christie, America's Anchorman, The Most Dangerous Voice on Radio, El Rushbo and Maha Rushie, Limbaugh was a prominent and most well-known member of the Republican Party and conservative movement. 

When he got on the "Golden EIB" mic, the far-right agitator has been an antagonist towards the Democratic Party, progressives and activists. He would often rally Republicans and conservatives to the polls. 

Gone forever never to troll again.

Limbaugh is credited for giving us, the Republican Revolution, George W. Bush, the Tea Party and Washed Up 45. 

Before his passing, Washed Up 45 gave Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

In the heat of the 2020 presidential election, Limbaugh hosted Washed Up 45 in October 2020 for what was an unprecedented two-hour "radio rally", during which the president was virtually given control of the coveted golden microphone to answer questions from the host and his listeners.

Limbaugh, born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in 1951. Limbaugh began his radio career in 1967 as a "helper" when he was only 16 years old. He eventually graduated to disk jockey and worked at a small station roughly 100 miles south of St. Louis while attending high school.

"I was totally consumed," Limbaugh told the New York Times in 1990, noting that his idol was a Chicago radio host named Larry Lujack. By 1971, Limbaugh was a morning radio host in Pittsburgh, where he was oddly told to cover a certain amount of "farm news" because the area was surrounded by many agriculture communities. In 2007 he explained to listeners how the young radio host managed to keep listeners despite the bizarre requirement.

Limbaugh helped boost Washed Up 45’s influence prior to the 2016 election simply by taking him seriously as a candidate when other established conservatives didn’t want the former reality television star anywhere near the Republican Party. Many of Limbaugh’s listeners eventually became Washed Up 45supporters and the radio legend continued to defend him throughout his presidency despite occasional disagreements.

U.S. And Canada Dealing With The Kia Boys!

They are willing to kill or die for a stupid TikTok challenge.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

I am an owner of a Kia Optima. It appears that vehicles from Kia and Hyundai are in high demand for car thieves. They are running a social media experiment in which a car thief attempts to infiltrate the car's computer system and drive off. It happened through of all things, TikTok.

A video was posted on TikTok on July 12, 2022 where the author uses a USB connector on a naked key slot and successfully hotwires a car. This vulnerability exists on a type of ignition switch used in many Kia/Hyundai cars sold until 2021, which are not equipped with an immobilizer system. The video was taken down on July 25.

But since it was spread through social media, every teen wants to risk their lives for a thrill.

It has become a problem for American and Canadian police.

I mean I don't fear the possibility of theft. If they take the vehicle, they will eventually get caught. I am a firearm owner and I have to be cautious over how to deal with a car thief. 

In Ohio, the Castle Rule when using a firearm mainly exist when you have theft on home property not an apartment complex. It works when you are operating a vehicle not another person's vehicle. It only applies to your business not a shoplifter who stole from a property that is not yours.

If a person or a group decides to steal my vehicle, not only is grand theft auto, but the risk of a police pursuit and threats of a deadly incident which could cause impacts on everyone.

I live in Dayton, Ohio and I heard it happened numerous times here. Just last week, I made the mistake of leaving a door unlocked and a person managed to get in and search through the vehicle and stole property but did not hotwire the vehicle. Also I noticed that in August 2022, a USB cord was located near my vehicle.

Insurance companies are considering dropping coverage to owners of these vehicles.

The Highway Loss Data Institute released insurance claims data last September that confirmed what various social media accounts had been saying: Some 2015 through 2019 Hyundai and Kia models are roughly twice as likely to be stolen as other vehicles of similar age, because many of them lack some of the basic auto theft prevention technology included in most other vehicles in those years, according to the HLDI.

Hyundai and Kia operate as separate companies in the United States, but Hyundai Motor Group owns a large stake in Kia and various Hyundai and Kia models share much of their engineering.

Engine immobilizers are now standard on all Kia and Hyundai vehicles, the companies said in separate statements. Both automakers also said they are developing security software for vehicles that were not originally equipped with an immobilizer. Kia said it has begun notifying owners of the availability of this software, which will be provided at no charge. Hyundai said its free software free update will be available next month.

Hyundai also said it is providing free steering wheel locks to some police departments around the country to give local residents who have Hyundai models that could be easily stolen. Hyundai dealers are also selling and installing security kits for the vehicles, the company said.

Columbus, Milwaukee, Chicago, Los Angeles and Atlanta are filing lawsuits against the companies. They call it a nuisance that needed to be stopped but the company failed.

Theft impacts everyone. But what to do to prevent it.

Keep all your valuable items out of sight,

Lock your doors.

Keep your vehicle in a well lit area.

Use bright spray paint, inscribe the VIN number or a tamper shield on your catalytic converter.

Have security cameras or a motion sensor camera installed in your vehicle.

Call your local police if you notice theft of property.

Live With Kelly And Mark!

Ryan Seacrest leaves Live. Kelly Ripa's husband will be permanent host.

Shocking media news.....

Six years after Michael Strahan's departure, Ryan Seacrest took the helm of Live! with co-host Kelly Ripa. It appears that the media personality is leaving the show.

Ripa's husband Mark Consuelos will be the permanent host in the Spring.

Seacrest, the longtime host of American Idol took over Live! when Ripa and Strahan had a messy fallout. Seacrest also hosts a radio show, Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve and numerous other projects. He said he will be a guest host whenever Ripa or Consuelos are on vacation.

“You are family here. We love you. We are so proud of you,” Ripa said of Seacrest. “I know how much of a sacrifice it’s been. I know how exhausting it’s been going back and forth [from New York to L.A.].”

Daytime's No. 1 show will have husband and wife Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa.

“Working alongside Kelly over the past six years has been a dream job and one of the highlights of my career,” Seacrest said in a statement. “She has been an amazing partner, friend, and confidant, and although we will always be a part of each other’s lives, I will miss our mornings together. I also want to thank [executive producer] Michael Gelman and the entire staff and crew – we’ve made memories to last a lifetime, met some of the most incredible people and had the warmest welcome into the homes of so many viewers across America. It’s been a memorable ride and now I’m excited to pass the baton to Kelly’s ‘real’ husband, Mark.”

Added Ripa: “I’m so grateful to have spent the last six years beside my dear friend of too many decades to count and will miss starting my days with Ryan. Ryan’s energy, passion and love for entertainment is one-of-a-kind.”

Seacrest originally signed onto the show for three years and ended up staying for six. He plans to return to the West Coast where he will continue to host ABC’s American Idol and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest.

Seacrest, who joked that his departure might partly be due to the cold NY winters, said his three years turned into six due to the “genuine fun” of being on this show every day.

“Goodbyes are never easy, but we look forward to welcoming Ryan back regularly with open arms,” Gelman said. “As a fan-favorite guest host for years, Mark is no stranger to the Live family. Having him join the show is so special for us and we’re sure that viewers will feel the same.”

Strahan, a former NFL linebacker turned media personality had a tense relationship with Ripa. He also had multiple roles being a father, dealing with his ex's, his roles on ABC with his game show, Pyramid, his GMA hosting role, his Fox NFL Sunday role, his fashion line and his podcast.

His departure sparked a longstanding feud with Ripa who was caught off guard by the news.

Seacrest announced it on today's Live.

The tapping of Consuelos puts a rather literal spin on the show’s original concept, which launched in 1983 as The Morning Show. “The real concept of the show, in a symbolic sense, is that they are husband and wife,” Gelman said. “They have their coffee mugs and they’re chit-chatting about what’s going on.” It’s a format that has its roots in early radio programs, such as Breakfast with the Fitzgeralds. Since the launch of The Morning Show, the series has had several host and name changes over the years, such as Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, which ran from 1988–2000. Ripa joined Regis Philbin in 2001 and has co-hosted the show ever since.

Philbin left in 2011, with Michael Strahan named as his successor. Strahan exited the morning show in 2016 with Seacrest later named as his replacement.

Ripa quipped on Thursday’s show that her husband joining her as a co-host would be “the nation’s weirdest social experiment.”
