Since Regis Philbin left his spot on "Live! With Regis and Kelly" earlier this month, the show has been busy booking A-list talent to fill the seat alongside the bubbly Kelly Ripa.
With the likes of Neil Patrick Harris and Jerry Seinfeld having already stepped up, many more actors and musicians are now in line to co-host "Live!" according to ABC. On December 5 and 6, "Dancing With the Stars" pro Derek Hough will join Ripa, while singer Josh Groban will fill the spot on December 7, 8 and 9.
As December rolls along, Taye Diggs come onboard on December 12; the next day, Kevin Jonas will bulk up his résumé with a guest host spot. (His brother Nick Jonas co-hosted the morning show once in early 2010.) Rounding out the week is Bryant Gumble, who'll host on December 14, followed by chart-topping crooner Michael Bublé, who's slated to host on December 15 and 16.
The news of Kevin's gig comes just as the Jonas Brothers have been busy pursuing a variety of show business gigs. Nick is gearing up for a 2012 run as the lead in the Broadway's "How to Succeed in Business." Middle brother Joe is still out promoting his solo effort, FastLife, even as the siblings continue to insist they plan to work together again.
"We had been focusing this past year and a half on our individual projects and what we're doing on our own, and I think that with 'How to Succeed' and with Joe still promoting his album and doing all that, that's still a bit part of the future," Nick told recently. "However, we have started thinking about the next step and what that means for the brothers, and the tone overall is just that we want it to be the right time, and we want to take our time."
