Is Live with Kelly and Ryan canceled? Both of the co-hosts say that the end could be near for their talk show. Read on to learn more and to see what caused the speculation.
Ryan Seacrest & Kelly Ripa joke about the talk show ending
On the latest episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan, both hosts joke that the show could be ending soon. Live! has been on the air for nearly 40 years. If the rumors are true, the show could end sooner than expected. For the past few months, fans wondered if the show is doomed to get canceled because of the low ratings.
Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest joked about the end of the show. The conversation started with the news of a Broadway show closing its doors after 35 years. The long-running show The Phantom of the Opera is closing on Broadway after its run. On Wednesday, September 21, the hosts talked about the shocking news.

The American Idol host wanted to know which show was more expensive to produce — Live with Kelly and Ryan or Phantom of the Opera. One crew member in the studio said both shows cost about the same to produce. Ryan said with a sarcastic expression: “And we’re still on!” The crew member asked: “Are we closing?”

Live with Kelly and Ryan continues to get backlash
Fans were also upset with the show for its pre-recorded segments. They wanted to know why the hosts don’t want to tape the show live anymore. Most live shows are back with live audiences. Live with Kelly and Ryan is the only one that hasn’t gone back to its old ways.

Keep Ryan and get Kelly Ripa off there. She is such a get in your face toxic person.
Bring in Ali Wentworth and let her cohost with Ryan.
The show is stale and boring. I’ve been watching since the days of Regis and Kathy Lee.That was the best! Kelly and Ryan both interrupt each other too much. Talk about food too much. The trivia game is stupid…I can’t even watch. And…its almost always pre recorded. They shouldn’t call it Live. I love Ali Wentworth.. she’s the only refreshing part of the show when she’s on.
Yes I agree I get bored 😐 fast and turn the channel. I like Ali Wentworth.
I did go live b4 Covid- I saw great guests like Bradley Cooper and Matthew M. Also loved it when I first saw the singer who sang Call 📞 me Maybe 🤔 forget her name – it was a long show but that was fun 🤩 and I had to rush to catch a train 🚂
Should not be called live either I can’t watch any longer. I love Ali Wentworth and Ryan
Stopped watching! Stale & same boring nonsense..They’re both so damn annoying!!!
No live audience? Ridiculous!! The show is stale and dated. Kelly seems disinterested & more about her life outside of the show & Ryan should stick to American Idol. Why did they even need that announcer? Seems like a job made up to give another African American work as if they aren’t taking over enough commercials or tv hosting gigs already. Kelly showed her true colors when her ego couldn’t accept Regis leaving or Strahan moving on. Surely there’s better shows to fill that am time slot
I still enjoy the show when I get to watch it, but that is definitely not every day. The show does need to be live and it should include an audience. The games are silly and dated. I disagree with the others about Ali Wentworth. I find her annoying – not Kelly or Ryan. They do need to get their heads back into the show or get out. It’s not too late to bring the show back at this point, but if things aren’t amped up quickly it will be.
Oh, pulleeeze … as long as Michael Gelman is running things around there, Live will be on the air for many years to come. Gelman has a format which has worked for forty years, and if it works there’s no need to fix it!
Kelly and Ryan are the “ME – ME” People. EVERYRTHING is about ME!
They both stink!!! AM I not wonderful!!!!!
Kelly is way too thin but talks about
what she won’t eat and exercising way too much . Not a good role model. Has the body of a 10 year old
I lost interest! Get rid of Kelly. She is so boring and goes on and on about nothing interesting. Both Kelly and Ryan speak too much with Gelman. I have better things to do with my time. Hopefully they will change the format and at that point I will return.
Totally agree. She talks way too much about her family…who cares? So worried about how she looks…which is anorexic. And why does Ryan always have to lean over on the table or counters. Can’t he sit up for an hour?
Kelly and Ryan was the worst show ever they should have kept Michael Strahan he was the best co host since Regis retired Michael Strahan remind me of Regis. Michael Strahan was the only one who brought in big ratings. with Mark the show will get cancelled big time it won’t last but what I think they should do with the show is they should have a dedicated channel on Pluto TV to all the Regis and Michael Strahan episode onlys in my opinion
