Joel McHale and Alec Baldwin will take turns as guest co-hosts on “Live With Kelly” the first week of June, the daytime talk show announced Wednesday.

Radio personality Ryan Seacrest and comedian D.L. Hughley are also slated to host the syndicated daytime show alongside Kelly Ripa.

Hughley will kick off the week on Monday, June 6; McHale will host Tuesday and Wednesday; Seacrest will host on Thursday; and Baldwin will wrap up the week on Friday.

The announcement comes as the search for a new host continues following Michael Strahan‘s departure earlier this month. Similar to the on-air audition process employed after the departure of Regis Philbin in 2011, the show has brought in a parade of guest co-hosts in search of a permanent partner for Ripa.

Jimmy Kimmel, “Empire” star Jussie Smollett, Cedric the Entertainer, “Hawaii Five-0” star Daniel Dae Kim and “World News Tonight’s” David Muir have also appeared as guest co-hosts.
