NEW YORK -- Kelly Ripa says Michael Strahan is leaving their morning talk show earlier than originally planned so a search for his replacement can begin. 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.
