Jason Colthorp

New Delhi, Aug 6, 2009: Jason Colthorp is an over ambitious man. The co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly, he sets bars very high for himself and goes out to achieve his goals. In the beginning of the decade he dreamt of becoming ESPN's next star of SportsCenter. Two and a half years later, that dream turned into becoming the next star of "Today" on NBC when WILX took an even bigger chance by making him the new weekday morning news anchor.

In January of 2005, he was promoted once again to evening anchor of the WILX-produced newscasts at 5:30 and 10 on FOX 47. His stint with Live with Regis and Kelly has been very exciting. Live with Regis and Kelly is a syndicated American television morning talk show, hosted by Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa. Before 2000, the show was known as, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, with Kathie Lee Gifford co-hosting with Philbin. After Gifford left, it was Live with Regis, with only Philbin hosting before Ripa was added in 2001.

The program has aired for 26 years in its home market of New York City in its current format, and 21 years nationwide. It was announced on January 16, 2007, that Live with Regis and Kelly has been renewed through the 2010-2011 season. The show began broadcasting in high definition with the January 5, 2009 episode. The show began in 1983 as The Morning Show, a local New York program on WABC-TV with Philbin and Cyndy Garvey as co-hosts.
