Luckily we weren't the only ones who thought casting SNL head writer and Weekend Update anchor Seth Meyers as Regis Philbin's permanent replacement was a nutty idea. Meyers has commented on the record that he won't be joining Kelly Ripa on the morning chat show. 

"No, no, no, no, no," Meyers told The Orlando Sun-Sentinal on Monday afternoon. (He did not retract with "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.") As the rest of the country gears up for a potentially stressful election season, Meyers is excited to hop back behind the desk in his schoolboy blazer. "I’m really in love with the job I have. I’m very excited to be going back [to “SNL”] for the election season, which is always fun.”

Meanwhile, the two frontrunners are opera singer Josh Groban and NFL veteran Michael Strahan, whoever that is. (C'mon, I just dropped a deep-cut Destiny's Child ref, OK?) And Kelly Ripa was quick to comment about Meyers's chances at taking the co-hosting gig."When you see Seth Meyers in the morning, it is like looking at a vampire," she said. Gee, I wonder what made him decide to pass on the new job opportunity?
