Ryan Seacrest’s new gig at Live With Kelly! has Bravo TV’s biggest voice Andy Cohen’s approval.

“I think it’s good. He’s a star, he’s an adult, they’re equals, I think it’s great for Kelly,” Andy said to Us Weekly. “She’s had a lot on her plate for the last year doing that show alone, and so I think it’s great.”

Apparently, Kelly was hoping that her BFF Andy, who guest hosted six times last year, would be the first replacement after Michael Strahan’s departure, but unfortunately, the Watch What Happens Live host was “too busy” (though that didn’t stop Ryan!).

“First of all, they never asked, and second of all, I couldn’t do it. I’m exclusive to NBC Universal and they let me do Love Connection for Fox, but that was a week of work. This is a real job,” he said. “I would never sleep again and I don’t already.”
