Confirming weeks of speculation, Michael Strahan walked onto the set on the newly renamed Live! with Kelly and Michael this morning.

The one-time New York Giants player, member of the Super Bowl-winning team in 2008, has co-hosted more than 20 times.

He takes the seat once occupied by Regis Philbin, who stepped down from the show last November.

I think we can all agree this was one of the worst kept secrets in TV history.

Michael seems like a likeable guy though, albeit a little wacky at times:

I think he'll breathe some new life into a show that has lost a little steam since the departure of Reeg.

Do you think they made the right choice with Michael as new co-host?
