Although we know for sure that Regis Philbin's spot will leave big shoes to fill, one name that keeps popping up is none other than Lisa Rinna!

"You know, back 10 years ago I filled in many times with Regis when Kathie Lee left," she recalls. "I've been so fortunate enough to co-host with him at least 10 times or more and was up for the job to replace Kathie Lee, but of course Kelly was the perfect choice for it."
