I don't think Kelly wanted Ryan, I think he was picked by ABC and she had little say. She was enjoying the Live with Kelly show, wouldn't pick a co-host so one got picked for her. Ryan just really creeps me out, I don't watch, haven't watched for a long time, but sometimes I don't get the channel switched and I see the beginning of the show, no tie, no socks and no style, just creepy. Maybe ABC thought they needed a big name to combat the Megyn Kelly show but I think it will be a toss up as to who's gone first, Ryan or Megyn.
That could be. It was so irritating seeing the constant stream of co-hosts. I wasn't sure who had that idea, but it took forever for them to pick someone. I thought she had a lot of power, but maybe she doesn't.
