The Blindside part 2 - kelly ripa refuses to go work this morning

[geechiedan]

What is Michael Strahan pulling annually for today with Kelly and Michael?

We see them dance into the studio every weekday morning. If you knew how much Kelly Ripa would get for the next 59 minutes, you would dance too. According to Celebrity Net Worth, she makes $36,000 per episode on "Live with Kelly and Michael." Her annual salary on the daytime talk show is $20 million.

Ripa's net worth is $100 million dollars and her husband, Mark Consuelos' net worth is $40 million. While that is a lot of money, it doesn't come close to his wife's.

Ripa's net worth is not all from "Live With Kelly and Michael." She first rose to fame playing Hayley Vaughn Santos on the ABC soap opera "All My Children." Then she worked on the sitcom "Hope and Faith." She became the co-host of "Live with Regis and Kelly" in 2001. Kelly has been involved in several television shows and movies, including having a voiceover career.

Kelly's co-host on "Live with Kelly and Michael" is retired football player, Michael Strahan. According to Celebrity Net Worth, his net worth is $55 million. His annual salary as the morning talk show host is $10 million. Of course, he has other gigs as well.

Since his retirement from football in 2007, he has been appearing as an analyst on "Fox NFL Sunday" and hosting the show, "Pros vs. Joes." In 2012, Strahan was selected to replace Regis Philbin as the co-host of "Live with Kelly and Michael." There is a lot of chemistry between Ripa and Strahan on the show. They are watched by millions and loved by their fans.

How much money does Michael Strahan make a year?

Michael brings in the big bucks from his estimated $20-million-plus yearly salary hosting TV shows like LIVE with Kelly and Michael, Good Morning America and Fox NFL Sunday, along with the millions he made in his 15 years with the New York Giants.

see the difference...

A pretty white woman with a highschool diploma can make 20 million a year and be worth 100 million..just being pretty and acting and not even great acting.

A black man with a college degree had to do a job that risked brain damage PLUS work 4 ADDITIONAL jobs after to equal her yearly salary.

 

[gene cisco]

Yea.. she has a right to kinda be upset. Viewers and critics were leery of letting a black ex athlete take over Regis' show. She welcomed dude in and co-signed him HEAVY to her audience and the general public. And im sure she gave him some welcome pussy to make him feel at home. Brother could have atleast gave her the heads up.

Yeah, that is kind of fucked up. Naturally, people have their biases either way. Won't look at shit objectively. You don't have tell her during negotiations, but after the deal is done you should. And if you don't extend that respect, why act like you care after?

Mods, he needs a vacation.

 

[King_of_Posts]

I don't really understand the move in the sense that he essentially went from co hosting his own show (arguably more popular than Kelly) to GMA which already has WAY too many co-hosts. Who knows where he'll fall into that lineup.

like michael had any say on this. lol. it was the company that initiated and wanted michael to transition. ripa better be made at the execs and not michael. if someone offering you way more money to bounce, you aint going to stay on a sinking boat. the execs left kelly to dry. notice they didn't want her on the morning show.

trudat... kelly would have done the same thing if she were in his position...you don't amass a 100 million dollar fortune being a nice person in business.

Yeah, that is kind of fucked up. Naturally, people have their biases either way. Won't look at shit objectively. You don't have tell her during negotiations, but after the deal is done you should. And if you don't extend that respect, why act like you care after?

the network execs tapped him..he was OFFERED the job. And I'm pretty sure they swore him to secrecy. If he had said something to kelly she would have told gelman and thats TWO people and when you try to keep a DL that two too many. Plus she and gelman would have had to move it in some way that by itself would have tipped the execs that mike is big mouth and lowered his stock with them.

Kelly Ripa will be absent from ‘Live!’ through the rest of the week, rep confirms

ABC confirmed Ripa will be gone through at least Monday. “Dancing With the Stars” co-host Erin Andrews will join Strahan as a guest-host on Thursday and also film Friday’s show in advance, already scheduled to be pre-taped. “Pretty Little Liars” star Shay Mitchell is the guest-host with Strahan on Monday. Ripa is out of pocket Friday and Monday for a previously-scheduled vacation, a show spokesperson said.



damn this chick is HEATED..

Aint about whether he was offered or not... A courtesy call or heads up to your co-host isnt too much to ask my man. And again, if she went above and beyond in welcoming you to HER show and ingratiating you to HER audience like she did, i think a professional relationship- let alone friendship- would dictate that it would be in good taste if not appropriate and expected to communicate your possible departure.

AFTER you get the contract, tell her. You tell them talks are secret during negotiations. Once the deal is signed, extend her a courtesy. Deal is done. But he pulled the shit AFTER hitting her in the back of the head. That's cool. If it's fuck her, it's fuck her. But don't act like you give a fuck after.

 

[pollux]

He definitely was chopping that down. Why would she be so mad otherwise?

thats hollywood speak...Lets do lunch = fuck off

"The 44-year-old Strahan—who joined Live four years ago after Regis Philbin announced his retirement, also without warning Ripa—continued: “I’m going to go over to GMAfulltime, which is going to happen in September. It is the same channel.”dailybeast. com

Regis was forced into retirement by the network heads. He wasn't ready to leave and was pissed that Kelly didn't stand with him.

 

[callbacc]

Bitch upset her BBC is gone, lol! Man I've seen it many of times when a white woman has been turned out by a brotha. Me and my homie use to run one on this older white conservative bitch and I remember we were playing 12 play CD by R. Kelly and that broad went out and bought the CD, that bitch didn't even listen to R&B. Me and my boy was dying when she was playing that shit when we went over there.

You can tell... their body language was always too comfortable with one another.

Seriously bru, do the white man give you a heads up when they about to guillotine your ass? When you think about it, he pulled a boss move.

She kind of acting like a jilted lover

I dont think its about the white man tho... Dont see it as a boss move either. Basic decency and professionalism as i see it. Courtesy at the very least. If someone helps get you situated and acclimated to a new environment, welcomes you into their shop, set you up and make sure you're taken care of, then i think a relationship of some sort is formed. I think its appropriate to give a heads up that you about to bounce. Even if its right before you make a public announcement. Letting your co-host find out when everyone else does is kind of shitty bro. Especially when you know peoples money at play, and this person helped you get your shit straight and transition to a new role seamlessly.

Yea but you got to remember the entertainment business is like politics and religion. It's all dirty. I didn't say it was right but it is what it is. Mike trying to stay eating and collecting them paychecks, if he get some residual pussy from ol girl who put him on then he may be in grind mode. On another note, WE don't know the whole story of their history. I know they fucking though, can't convince me otherwise.

Indeed.

 

[geechiedan]

Will network executives ever get a job transition executed correctly and drama-free?

This is as bad as the two times NBC whiffed transitioning new talent at the Tonight Show, first replacing iconic Johnny Carson with Jay Leno then some 20 years later replace Leno with Conan O'Brian. ABC did in fact handle the situation completely wrong and what's worse is they least Michael Strahan totally exposed to the fall out in the process.

On a professional level, Kelly has legitimate concerns for how the show has been treated by ABC. What was suppose to be a scheduled vacation now seems to be an impromptu boycott of sorts that could be used to damage her soon to be former co-host. And Kelly has some leverage here. Live! dominates its slot in daytime programming and while Strahan can be credited with doing his share of making the show a big success in his tenure there, Kelly has been with the show for a significant time including hosting it solo for almost two years so a case can be made that Kelly Ripa is for all intents and purposes the driving force of a very popular and long running program.

That means that her wounded and shocked response plus the extended absence makes Michael the bad guy. Something that could damage his image going into GMA full time. And while that won't kill his career or do lasting damage to Good Morning America it could affect the ratings bump his presence is supposed to bring to the show in the fall. Expect to see Michael in damage control mode when Kelly gets back and publicly apologizing to her.

On a personal level, Kelly has a right to be hurt because she invested wholeheartedly in bringing Michael into the show. Quite frankly from my observation the chemistry between them was so good and easy and intimate that I started to suspect there was something more early on when he started. They seemed to be too into each other:




daddy's home....seriously?

It's been reported that Kelly was "livid" about the news and how it was delivered. Considering how well they worked together it's understandable why she went ballistic. Even though they're all on the same network team, at this point its safe to assume that Kelly has no problem sending Michael over to GMA as damaged goods even if the dirtying effect is temporary.

Mike's new job starts in the fall but the next four months are going to very interesting viewing watching how this transition plays out.

 

[joneblaze]

With the money she's making why give a damn? Unless he was really hitting the sheets with her and made her certain promises
A woman scorned......
I would go to work smile say good bye and cash my number heavy check until ABC gave me the boot

But he pulled the shit AFTER hitting her in the back of the head. That's cool. If it's fuck her, it's fuck her. But don't act like you give a fuck after.

He didn't have that option from what I read.

The executives who were giving the promotion demanded secrecy so if he had given her any kind of heads up it could have blown his deal so his hands were tied.

She definitely has a right to be pissed considering she has a good thing going with a co-host who just recently stepped in and took over for someone who was on the show for years.

You can't just keep replacing co-hosts and expect chemistry, the likelihood of finding someone she can work with who will also appeal to viewers is going to be difficult to impossible.

 

[RUDY RAYYY MO]

Strahan is a coon.Bgol on some twilight zone shit,never thought that this topic would generate the number of comments

 

[Mt. Yukon]

Aint about whether he was offered or not... A courtesy call or heads up to your co-host isnt too much to ask my man. And again, if she went above and beyond in welcoming you to HER show and ingratiating you to HER audience like she did, i think a professional relationship- let alone friendship- would dictate that it would be in good taste if not appropriate and expected to communicate your possible departure.

As vindictive as some people can be in business... No way in hell I'd give someone the opportunity to torpedo a move by giving them a heads up. No idea how close they are, but only person I'd tell is my wife. NI telling how an emotional, upset female would react.

 

[Database Error]

Man this shit is for ratings. Yall on one.

 

[playahaitian]

good lawd...this chick is devastated....

Update: According to People, the network isn't sure how long Ripa's walkout will last. "Kelly told ABC she wasn't coming in last night," a source said."They don't know yet when she'll be back." Another claimed she was "refusing to come back." A rep for Live!, on the other hand, claimed Ripa "had the day off."

Update No. 2: The New York Times reported Wednesday night that sportscaster Erin Andrews will replace Ripa for the rest of the week, doing a double taping for Thursday's and Friday's Live! editions.Though one of the Times's unnamed sources said Ripa is angry with ABC for favoringGMA over Live!, a statement from ABC read:

Live! continues to be a vibrant and enduring franchise under our lead host, the extraordinarily talented Kelly Ripa. Live! has successfully transitioned co-hosts twice before and will do so again. Together with Kelly, ABC and the Live! team will begin a new search to find a replacement for Michael.

Additionally, Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell will sub in on Monday, because Ripa is taking an extended weekend to celebrate her wedding anniversary.

I agree. She basically chose you at the least a private talk with her.

But as a business move he fucked up. He could have out lasted her on the show.

Did that shit with a Kem album. Had her husband listening to him and everything...

 

[papi68]

I thought she was bitching cuz she wanted that gma job

 

[durham]

Id like to know what SHE was getting paid versus what Michael was getting paid.

If the shit was not equal fuck professionalism, get yours.

Also, didnt she pretty much take the show from Revis, after he put her on??

 

[Aww Skeet Skeet!]

Like someone said before, Mike's gotta eat. And at the end of the day, he has to look out for his best interests. Ripa can throw a tantrum all she wants, but if Mike runs up on hard luck, is she going to pay his bills? Dude has to cement his career and to cohost GMA may be a serious upgrade $$ wise.

I still don't get the coon comment though...
