Keke Palmer is set to join Michael Strahan and Sara Haines as a third co-host on ABC's "Strahan and Sara," Page Six has exclusively learned.
The singer and actress is days away from inking a deal with the network to join the "Good Morning America" spinoff, we hear. "ABC execs are close to finalizing a deal . . . She's fun, spontaneous and has great energy," an insider told us.
Palmer has frequently filled in as a guest co-host, especially while Haines was on maternity leave, which she returned from last week.
"Keke has been so much fun filling in, so they decided to make her an offer," said the insider. "The audience knows her and she's got great chemistry with both [hosts]."
The daytime show replaced "The Chew" but has struggled with ratings since it debuted last year.
It was called "GMA Day" until ABC changed the name in January.
The network is hoping Palmer, who turns 26 next month, will attract younger viewers.
It's not yet clear whether the network would change the name of the show again to include Palmer's name.
We're told the deal may be done by the end of the week.
