NEW YORK — Regis Philbin's chair on "Live!" won't have time to cool off before Jerry Seinfeld arrives as the first guest host of the post-Regis era.

The popular weekday talk show is announcing that Seinfeld will join continuing co-host Kelly Ripa for three days, airing Nov. 21-23.

The show said Tuesday that guests scheduled to join Ripa and Seinfeld are actor Jason Segal, actress Kim Cattrall, comedian-host Howie Mandel, "Naked Chef" Jamie Oliver and that fabulous Muppet, Miss Piggy.

Philbin is departing the show Nov. 18 after 28 years as its host. There are no plans to immediately announce a permanent successor.

The soon-to-be-renamed "Live! with Kelly" will continue to air in most cities at 9 a.m. Eastern time.

Sorry Jer, not interested. You made your millions, now go away. I've had 4 friends who've committed suicide throughout the banking crisis & housing crisis. I sit alone at home now, alone. Stay off-screen from now on, Jer & tell your wife to take her baby cookbook to Hell with her.

Where does this anger come from and why direct it at him?

I'm wondering that too. Apparently Jerry Seinfeld is responsible for their situation?

Many people in the entertainment industry drove some of those people to suicide via harassment and ridicule in Hollywood, California ~ some initially affiliated with that show, I hear.

I know for a fact people in the entertainment industry contributed towards the deaths of some people I know. That is all. And I should never have written this, but some were Jewish and worked or knew grips and underlings on that show and other shows. The entertainment industry is likie a mafia family. It's not just the Seinfeld show..........it's all of the tv shows. The whole industry. Personally, I liked Seinfeld, made me laugh. But the shows that make you laugh the hardest, hire the jerks that harm the public at large. Just my opinion. I was raised in this community and hate it.

Why is the show still on, period? Regardless of the new co-anchor does it really need to go on?

    Because they can still sell advertizing slots.
