Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin worked together for nearly a decade as hosts of “Live! with Regis and Kelly,” and the daytime television talk show host didn’t mince words while jotting down a few memories of her tumultuous relationship with the legendary broadcaster in her first memoir, “Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories.”<\/p>\n
Ripa’s written recollection of their time together on-and-off camera has been met with criticism from fans and foes, including former “Live!” host Kathie Lee Gifford, who admitted she wo n’t be reading the essays, possibly as a subtle homage to her “great friend.”<\/p>\n
In Ripa’s new book, she wrote about having trouble working with Philbin, how she was not allowed to use her own hair and makeup team, and didn’t receive a wardrobe budget. The former “All My Children” star also shared that her name “had to be smaller than Regis’s name on the” Live! “Title card and branding. <\/p>\n
She noted that receiving the offer to host the popular live show came with a warning, “They want to make sure you know who your boss is.” Ripa went on to explain that after Philbin retired in 2011, they never had a relationship outside the studio and only socialized on rare occasions. <\/p>\n
