Behind the Scenes of THR's Kelly Ripa Photo Shoot

A behind the scenes look at our Kelly Ripa photo shoot for our New York issue. The Live with Kelly host jokes and poses with fans as she models for the photographer . Ripa was named one of the 35 most influential people in the media.

In November, not long after hitting his 10th anniversary with Ripa, Regis Philbin left his seat of 28 years at Live! With Regis and Kelly. The months since the show’s subsequent rebranding as Live! With Kelly have found Ripa, 41, sitting alongside a revolving door of famous friends — Jerry Seinfeld, Neil Patrick Harris, Alec Baldwin — and potential torch carriers such as Jerry O’Connell, Michael Buble and NY1 anchor Pat Kiernan.
