The empty offices backstage were saved for visiting executives that never seemed to appear, so luckily they were able to clean out that closet!
When Philibin left the show in November 2011, Ripa assumed she would get a real office. Not so fast, blondie! “They said, ‘Oh, no, we’re saving that.’ And I said, ‘Saving it for what?’ And they go, ‘Well, for when the new guy comes.’ And I looked at them, and I said, ‘I am the new guy,’” Ripa told. “I just moved my things. I forced my way into the office because I couldn’t understand how I would still be in the janitor’s closet and somebody new would come in and get the office.
“The network had a duty and an obligation to keep all things equal,” she continued. “I don’t blame the fellas. They were just doing what they had been told, or what they were instructed to do, or what they thought they deserved. Having said that, I go out of my way to protect the people I’m working with at any and all costs, even if it means that I am not as popular.”Ripa has certainly become one of the most popular talk show hosts of all time, now raking in $20 million a year.
