As the new season begins, Emmy-winning hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan welcome some of entertainment's brightest stars, including Academy Award® winner ANNE HATHAWAY, actor RYAN REYNOLDS, Golden Globe winner RICHARD GERE, rocker STEVEN TYLER and Oscar®-nominated actress NAOMI WATTS. Also stopping by will be actors ROB LOWE, JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT and DYLAN O'BRIEN and NBA All-Star RUSSELL WESTBROOK.

From September 8-11, Ripa and Strahan will be challenged to "put their money where their mouth is" as they take on experiences that they've talked about on the show. Ripa will learn how to raise chickens and tries a hot new health trend, Cryotherapy. Strahan finally attempts to overcome his fear of snakes and proves he can cook the ultimate breakfast.
