Kelly Ripa named as new co-host of 'Live with Regis'

Regis and Kelly
Kelly Ripa, known for her role on ABC's soap opera "All My Children," has replaced Kathie Lee Gifford as Regis Philbin's cohost on "Live with Regis"  

NEW YORK (CNN) -- A new co-host was named Monday to take Kathie Lee Gifford's place next to Regis Philbin on ABC'S morning show "Live with Regis."

ABC soap actress Kelly Ripa, who has partnered with Philbin several times since Gifford departed last July, will now hold the job permanently.

"Say hello to my new co-host," Philbin said Monday as he started the show with Ripa by his side.

Ripa plans to continue working on the soap opera "All My Children."

She announced on "Live" late last year that she is pregnant with her second child.

She is married to her "All My Children" co-star Mark Consuelos, and they live in New Jersey with their 3-year-old son, Michael Joseph.
