The show that is now Live with Kelly and Ryan has a rich legacy of doing shows in Canada. Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa went to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in 2010 and Ripa and various co-hosts were in Banff, Alberta in 2012.
The show goes back to Niagara Falls, Ontario next week for a pair of shows. Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford were there in 1996. Philbin and Ripa made a visit there in 2006.
Ryan Seacrest was recently named the new co-host of the daytime program.
The shows will take place at the Oakes Garden Theatre. Monday's show will air live with Tuesday's show being taped on Monday.
In terms of Canadian content for the shows, Tatiana Maslany will be the primary guest on Monday's show. They will definitely be talking about Season 5 of Orphan Black, which debuts Saturday. Tuesday's show will feature Canadian actors Howie Mandel and Nathan Fillion.

'Live! with Kelly' to tape four April episodes in Banff National Park
We haven't seen any of the previous Niagara Falls episodes. We know that the 2010 and 2012 tours were filled with fun Canadian content. With Niagara Falls being so close to the border, hopefully we will still get plenty of Canadian content. The Canadian guests should help out, though Mandel is the one who grew up near the area in nearby Toronto.
