It's the hottest available hosting role on American daytime TV, and everyone from ordinary housewives to serious news anchors like Dianne Sawyer wants it.
Live With Regis & Kathy Lee was the American version of our own Ernie and Denise (RIP) until cohost Kathy Lee Gifford (who was the memorable subject of an episode of South Park) decided her time on the show was up. Regis Philbin hosts the number 1 primetime show in America, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
To cut a long story short, the hot contenders to replace Kathy Lee are in - with a few surprises.
Ricki Lake, part-time John Waters actress and full-time trash TV host, is near the top of the list according to gossip columnist Jeannette Walls. This would force her to abandon her present talkshow (now screening on Seven).
Walls also believes Carolyn Rhea, who plays Aunt Hilda on Seven's Sabrina, The Teenage Witch is up for the top job.
