However, there were two awkward instances on Friday’s show. When Ripa was setting up a story about divorcees who keep their kids in one house and the parents rotate in and out, she said to Strahan, “So you have gotten divorced…” This led to him giving an uncomfortable look to the laughing audience.
The co-hosts were also silent for a solid 10 seconds to show how long that can feel when you’re on TV. Both moments were entertaining, and, again, showed how much chemistry these two have when co-hosting together.

“Look, I’m very happy at CNN,” Cooper, who hosts the news network’s Anderson Cooper 360, answered cautiously. “It would be a dream to work with Kelly, but nobody’s offering anything.”
