Celebrity Speaker Kelly Ripa’s first TV appearance was on a local Philadelphia dance party, Dancin’ On Air and then on the nationally syndicated show, Dance Party USA. Her major role came in 1990 as Hayley Vaughan on All My Children. In 2001 she was a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?  with host Regis Philbin. Later that same year, she appeared as co-host on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. She was soon hired to be the new co-host as it changed to Live with Regis and Kelly.

In 2003, she had a role on Hope & Faith as Faith Fairfield, for three seasons before the show was cancelled due to a decline in ratings. In 2009, Kelly and her husband Mark Consuelos announced that with their production company, Milojo Productions, TLC would pick up two shows developed by the company. In 2011, Regis Philbin announced he would retire from Live!, the show would then be renamed Live! with Kelly. After a number of different rotating co-hosts, Michael Strahan and Kelly’s dynamic of opposites attract was undeniable, and the show was then named Live! with Kelly and Michael. Live! then one its first Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show just a few months later. The show is still producing 87% higher ratings than any other Live! on its third year.
