Ryan Seacrest is becoming a regular on morning television, adding his name to Kelly Ripa's on the chat show ``Live with Kelly.''
He was announced on Monday, a year after Michael Strahan exited the show for ``Good Morning America.'' The way Strahan's departure was handled so annoyed Ripa that she skipped the show for two days in protest.
She has worked with guest co-hosts like Jerry O'Connell, Fred Savage and Andy Cohen since then, a stretch of uncertainty that led some to wonder with Ripa really wanted to go it along.
But it's a big get: Seacrest is a major star, whose television presence had diminished since ``American Idol'' ended on Fox.
