Kelly Ripa is coming clean about her “tough” start as Regis Philbin’s co-host on the nationally syndicated morning talk show “Live.”
In a new interview, the former “All My Children” actress detailed some of the challenges she faced upon joining the chatfest in 2001.
“It was very tough,” she said in a cover story for Variety's new “Power of Women” issue. “Had I known how difficult it would have been, I don’t know that I would have gone for it. I just think my ignorance in that situation wound up being my blessing and my superpower. I did not have an easy time.”
