Job In Jeopardy? Find Out The Shocking Reason Television Host Billy Bush Could Sink 'Live!' Ratings — Inside Kelly Ripa's Nightmare

As if Michael Strahan ditching Live! wasn't bad enough, now another major announcement is threatening Kelly Ripa's television reign.  

Sources told Page Six that Access Hollywood host Billy Bush could be taking over Matt Lauer's spot on NBC's TODAY show.  

“It’s only a matter of time before the morning show severs ties with Matt,” the source told the publication.

"Matt has a lot of clout, but it's also a case of 'when is his divorce from the show finally going to happen?'" said the source. “People fear and love Matt there. Billy is more of an entertainment talking head, so his addition will be a major change. His style is very different from Matt. But that might be a positive."  

But Matt's move might be more of a sting for Kelly Ripa since the TODAY show and Live! may be competing for better ratings at the 9:00 a.m. hour.

As Star previously reported, Kelly parted ways with her co-host Michael Strahan last Friday during his final show — and no sad party was thrown when he left. In fact, an on-set source told Radar that Kelly had a staff waiting behind the scenes to get Michael out of the building as fast as possible. Now, while the Live! producers search for Michael's replacement, Kelly may be fearing Billy's new role at TODAY will sink her show's ratings even more.
