Michael Strahan will be jumping from "Live'' to ''Good Morning America'', then who will co-host the show ''Live! With Kelly Ripa'.

Will it be Anderson Cooper?

The host of Anderson Cooper 360 show says, he is 'happy at CNN'

Anderson Cooper will not be filling the vacancy of the co-host on ''Live! With Kelly and Michael''.

He insisted that he is "very happy at CNN" as the host of the show Anderson Cooper 360

However, he would love the opportunity to work alongside his close friend of over 20 years Kelly Ripa. The news anchor will reportedly be guest hosting while ABC searches for a permanent replacement for Michael Strahan, whose last day is May 13.

Coopers words during his appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

"Listen I love Kelly, and Kelly is the heart and soul of that show, The Rainbow Comes and Goes: A Mother and Son On Life, Love, and Loss."

"It's gonna go on and continue to be great and I wish Michael the best in his new endeavour," Cooper said before WWHL host and good friend Andy Cohen pushed him for a definitive answer should he be offered the gig.

"It would be a dream to work with Kelly but nobody's offering anything," Cooper admitted. The 60 Minutes correspondent has guest-co-hosted on Live! numerous times during Strahan's four-year term.

A source told "When Regis [Philbin] left, the person Kelly wanted more than anyone else was Anderson Cooper, but he was busy launching his own talk show. Now that he'd be free, she would love it to be him."

Fans would be wanting to know who will throw the hat in the ring
