It's been nearly a year since her longtime TV partner, Regis Philbin, retired and since then, Kelly Ripa has been playing the field.

But early next month (4 September), the talk show host will finally settle on a successor to Philbin who she was teamed with for more than a decade.

The front-runners are reportedly Seth Meyers of Saturday Night Live and singer Josh Grobin, both of whom have frequently guest hosted on the syndicated morning show which is currently called Live With Kelly.
