(Newser) – Jerry Seinfeld is the new Regis … at least for a few days. Regis Philbin departs from his hosting gig on Live! on Nov. 18, and Seinfeld will join co-host Kelly Ripa from Nov. 21 to Nov. 23, the Christian Science Monitor reports. Seinfeld, the first scheduled guest host, will interview Jason Segel, Kim Cattrall, Howie Mandel, Jamie Oliver, and—perhaps the most exciting of all—Miss Piggy.

Jerry Seinfeld is insignificant. Jesus accomplished more during his time on earth. Question: Does Jerry Seinfeld donate any part of his massive fortune to the poor? Poverty is rampant all over the world.

Now, if they can just replace Kelly What's Her Name, I might start watching.
