Kelly Ripa has been trying too hard

colliegirls · ‎05-13-2012

to be humorous on LIVE. It seems uncomfortable to me. I think having Michael, with his natural charisma as her co-host, is making her feel she needs to compete with him.

I have thought that for years.

Evidently we are in the minority because she still gets paid the big bucks.

I agree !

I like her but sometimes she takes ""all day "" to get to the point of a joke or story and then when she gets to the end it isn't even funny LOL

I've never been a fan of Kelly. I've heard a lot of gossip about Regis' ouster and Kelly's hand in it. Personally I just don't think she has that kind of power.

I agree that sometimes Kelly tries too hard to be funny all the time.

But, I think part of the reason is that Michael *isn't* good or natural at being quick with funny comments and comebacks. He's charming but most of his funny, entertaining comments are responses to Kelly's lead-ins.

He's not natural with interviews, either. I see him reading the cue cards and isn't smooth or natural like Kelly is. She's just much more quick witted and good at off-the-cuff humor/comments.

She has to take the lead too often. When Regis was co-hosting, she didn't need to take the lead all the time.

Kelly has to make up for the lack of intelligence on her co-hosts part. He is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. She carries him through the entire show and the only thing he contributes is taking off his shirt so everyone can admire his physique.

I hope they cancel and put Kelly out of her misery. I have always liked her and she was great with Regis. This guy who was accused of beating his ex, just adds nothing to this show.

Hi SR - Looks like we were posting at the same time, and feel the same way. Smile

Hi, Lion. Yes, I see you noticed the same about Michael not being too sharp.

Happy New Year to you and yours. Smile
