In April 2012, "Live!" debuted a new set described as a "contemporary downtown-style loft, spacious and yet maintaining the studio's warmth and intimacy." It was the first major set re-design since the start of the show's 10th season in national syndication (1997–98). In July 2012, "People" magazine reported that Meyers, Groban and Strahan were the top three contenders in the running to replace Philbin. On the September 4, 2012 episode, Michael Strahan made his 16th appearance on the show and was introduced as Ripa's permanent co-host. The former New York Giants defensive end had begun his TV career on "Fox NFL Sunday", a job he said he would keep even though it shoots in Los Angeles. The Ripa-Strahan chemistry proved to be successful. "Live With Kelly & Michael" had been the No. 2 syndicated talk show averaging a 2.8 national rating over Strahan's entire tenure while "Live With Regis & Kelly" averaged a 2.6.
