After mastering marriage, motherhood and daytime television (as a star on All My Children), Kelly Maria Ripa stepped into a new role as co-host of Regis Philbin's popular morning show.
Ripa grew up dazzled by the lights of New York City. The oldest daughter of Joe, a labor union president and a bus driver, and Esther, a homemaker in New Jersey, Ripa and her younger sister, Linda, now a children's book author, began taking ballet and piano lessons at an early age. In her own words, Kelly also states that she is "no Barbara Streisand," but can carry a tune. The family visited
I was totally shocked at the diva-like behavior, albeit unprofessional and immature, that Kelly displayed while talking about Clay Aiken. I am not a "claymate" but can see the attraction to the gentle soul that was on Regis & Kelly. If Kelly would have closed her big mouth long enough for someone… More else to get a word in edgewise, maybe none of what she criticises would have happened. I have lost all respect for Kelly and will not watch the show any more - at least not until she publicly apologizes to Clay Aiken for her inappropriate comments.

Kelly has the spark to entertain, enlighten and inform the audience. She and the show improve any good, bad or sad day of mine.When the show resumed in my city after Season 2010-11, I realized even more the loss. I try to watch LIVE, but also Tivo it, so I don't miss. I enjoy sharing segments with my familylater.
Kelly Ripa is ultimately the best person in show business. She is fun, quirky, down to earth, and a positive role model for younger girls. She is amazing on Live with Regis and Kelly. I've had the opportunity to meet her and she is so personable and makes a genuine attempt to get to know you. It's never about her. She know the real priorities in life and puts those first. You can relate to her and I LOVE watching her in the morning, or at anytime (Tivo and Hope & Faith) and she can really just make your day amazing! As one person from Kelly's E! True Hollywood Story documentary said.. If you're in a war bunker, the one person you would want in there with you is Kelly Ripa because if she can't save you, she will atleast make you laugh while your there.
Kelly Ripa is what all actress should strive to be. She's a great and caring mom, who has, for the most part, her life under control. She is also a successful and extremely talented actress. (And comedian.) From her role as Faith Fairfield on Hope and Faith to being herself on the morning talkshow Live with Regis and Kelly, Kelly Ripa displays her amazing God given gift. I absolutely love her in Hope and Faith! She portrays her character perfectly and never over does it. She's a unique actress with a genuine personality. I just hope that Kelly continues to be the great role model she is, and that others start to follow her example.
I first heard of Kelly at my grandma's house when Regis was searching for a new co-host. That is when I first got into the show even though I can hardly ever watch it due to school. By the time Hope and Faith rolled around, I wasn't a Ripa fanatic or anything, but I did find out how funny she could be and how great her acting abilities were. Now, I am excited whenever I get a the day off during the week since I get to watch her and Regis. I love her Tide commercial with Mark. Also, Hope and Faith remains on my personal list of favorite shows even though it was cancelled. To sum things up, Kelly Ripa is hilarious, beautiful, and talented.
A big THANK YOU to Kelly for talking about the Robotic Program. Our family has been involved with Destination Imagination a similar program for 5 years and these programs are what is right in education today. Hats off to you for seeing and talking about the incredible value of these programs! They need more PR!
