ABC may be eyeing Seth Meyers to become Kelly Ripa’s co-host on “Live!,” but that doesn’t mean it’s a done deal.
Asked about the report that he’s the frontrunner to take Regis Philbin’s old spot on the morning show, Meyers told the Orlando Sun-Sentinel on Tuesday, “No, no, no, no, no.”
The “Saturday Night Live” head writer said, “I know [Regis' replacement] is a very important thing down there. But, right now, what I would say to you: I’m really in love with the job I have.”
Meyers added, “I’m very excited to be going back [to SNL] for the election season, which is always fun.”
However, it’s important to note that Meyers’ commitment to “Saturday Night Live” does not rule him out for the “Live!” job.
While it would be too much to juggle the morning show gig while staying on as the late-night show’s head writer, Meyers could potentially do “Live” and continue to be a part of SNL’s “Weekend Update.”
