Jeff Gordon could be following in Michael Strahan's footsteps from a successful professional sports career to the co-host of the popular television show "Live with Kelly."
According to TVLine, Gordon is on ABC’s short list to succeed Strahan as Kelly Ripa’s new "Live" co-host.

The show has been using guest co-hosts since the former New York Giants star reportedly blindsided Ripa with the news that he was leaving the show for ABC's "Good Morning America."
A final decision is expected later this summer, and Gordon does have experience sitting alongside Ripa.
