Tamara to co-host Live! With Regis and Kelly

CTV British Columbia weathercaster Tamara Taggart is heading to the Big Apple!
Taggart will co-host LIVE! With Regis and Kelly on Friday, August 21.
The announcement was made during the live taping of the show in New York City Wednesday morning.
Taggart is one of 10 new co-hosts as part of its international "From Local to LIVE: Co-Host for a Day Search."
She says the co-hosting gig will be "the opportunity of a lifetime."
"I am absolutely over the moon!" said Taggart. "I'm excited, nervous and most importantly honoured to have this incredible opportunity to fill in for Kelly Ripa".
Over the past few weeks, thousands of viewers from across Canada and the United States have nominated their favourite local broadcasters to fill-in for either Ripa or Regis Philbin.
"To co-host Regis and Kelly would probably be the highlight of my career -- I think I'd be good at it," Taggart said.
"I kind of feel like I know Regis," she joked. "We'd have fun."
Taggart joined CTV British Columbia in 1997, quickly becoming a viewer favourite as the co-host of the morning show. Come February, she will be doing the national weather forecast for the 2010 Winter Games in Whistler.
Some of Tamara's most memorable weather reports have included being thrown in the air by gold medal figure skater David Pelletier and chased by pigs at Vancouver's annual PNE.
I have a feeling that Tamara's days in Vancouver will be limited, before she heads off somewhere else for bigger aspirations. She will definitely be noticed after this one-day gig at New York.
