Regis Philbin has greeted viewers nearly every weekday morning for the past 28 years, but with his final show only months away, the question still remains: Who will rise to the occasion and take over for TV's veteran talker?
American Idol and radio show host Ryan Seacrest, 36, Bravo personality and exec Andy Cohen, 43, and actor (oh, and Kelly Ripa's husband) Mark Consuelos, 40, are said to be Disney-ABC's top three picks to fill Philbin's shoes when he leaves Live! with Regis and Kelly in November, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Talk about a surprise engagement.
Carrie Ann Inaba thought all she had to do was sub for vacationing Kelly Ripa on Thursday's Live with Regis and Kelly to discuss Dancing with the Stars.
But there was more: Inaba's boyfriend of about two years, Jesse Sloan, showed up – bearing a diamond sparkler and a wedding proposal.
The timing couldn't have been better. At the top of the show, Inaba had told Regis Philbin and the audience that the stories about her being engaged simply weren't true, though she had mentioned in an interview that she was anticipating a summer wedding.
