KICKING IT with Kevin Hart

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - Jen Rudin, an award-winning casting director and the author of Confessions of a Casting Director, sat down with Us Weekly to chat about her top picks for Michael Strahan’s replacement.

“You want a guy with a great personality who can also be lovable because you’re watching the show every day and that’s how I feel about anybody I watch on TV — I want to love them, have them in my living room or on my phone or wherever I’m watching them,” she said.

Ironically, her number one pick was no other than Kevin Hart.

(www.FatGirlLovesCake.com) - I'm so excited that I was chosen to attend the taping of  "LIVE with Kelly & Michael" that airs daily on ABC, but I was bummed to learn that Michael Strahan is leaving the show. To be honest, I wasn't surprised. That man has more jobs than the Department of Labor. He's going to be doing Good Morning America in the morning but also a hot new version of the show "100,000 Pyramid."

Ironically, I was invited to the rehearsal show but I had a family emergency and couldn't make it. I know that if he's as funny as he was as we joked around during red carpet rehearsals at the 2016 Oscars, he's going to make a new generation of people fall in love with a show that so many people already love and miss.

I've known him for a while now. I met him first when he was a player for the NFL. A childhood friend was an exec of the marketing department and I would visit her at work a lot. I also attended the Grid Iron Dinner a few times so I got a chance to know him. He's always been one of the most grateful, likable people I've ever met. It's no surprise that he has 40,000 jobs to prove America loves him too.

Stay tuned for pics from my experience on "LIVE with Kelly & Michael"
