Kelly Ripa says a search for Michael Strahan's replacement can begin. He is departing their morning talk show earlier than originally planned. It was announced last month that Strahan would depart "Live with Kelly and Michael" to join ABC's "Good Morning America" full-time in September. Ripa tells "People" magazine that a search for Strahan's replacement needs to get underway before the show's upcoming summer hiatus. Jimmy Kimmel, Fred Savage, Seal and Andy Cohen are scheduled to step in as guest co-hosts in the coming weeks.
