My Take
Kelly Ripa strikes me as television's most underrated professional. Born in Stratford, New Jersey, in 1970, she's anchored morning talk since 2001 and outlasted a parade of co-hosts, from Regis Philbin to Michael Strahan, Ryan Seacrest, and now her husband Mark Consuelos. What impresses me isn't any single bit, it's the sheer discipline of showing up warm and quick-witted every single morning for over two decades. That consistency is far harder than it looks. Two Daytime Emmys for hosting, a Walk of Fame star, a Hall of Fame nod, all deserved. Being durably likable is a genuine talent.
