My new BFF (that’s right I said it) has to be Real Housewives of Vancouver Unofficial After Show host and creator Kyle Archibald.
This guy is the bomb. Not only is he funny and not afraid to speak his mind (check out his show online) but his is fit too. Yes young Kyle was one of the many thousand lunatics that finished the Tough Mudder event this past weekend at Whistler
Kyle who was admittedly “feeling quite bad ass,” afterwards celebrated with cheese, fried egg, bacon pork burger.
But back to more serious stuff ,Kyle wants to be a talk show host, after all he does play one on the internet.
So not one to miss a beat the manager of Aphrodites Organic Cafe and Pie Shop in Kitsilano has thrown his hat into the ring in the contest to see who will fill the seat that Regis Philbin once held next to Kelly Ripa on the Live! show.
Since Reeg left (or as David Letterman keeps saying was fired) last fall Ripa has had a parade of different co-hosts come by and help out.
In fact her two gigs with Ben Mulroney supposedly helped the E! co-host land his new weekend ABC mornings gig.
Rippa a kingmaker? Why not.
Maybe Ripa will take a shine to another Canadian boy, and Kyle will get a shot at talk show fame. Hey weirder things have happened? Bethenny Frankel has a talk show after all.
Since June 11 viewers have submitted 60 second auditions. The deadline is June 29.
Five finalists will be on the July 16 show. The group will go through a series of games, stunts and other host-like activities, with one hopeful being eliminated each day.
The winner will get to co-host alongside Ripa on July 24.
And who knows they might end up like Ripa (who was chosen after Kathie Lee left the show a zillion years ago ) with a chair on the set and a star on a dressing room door.
