Kyle Benham To Leave EITM!

Over the past few weeks, some of you may have picked up on hints that Kyle would be leaving the show...all of which completely went over my head.

Like most of you, I was shocked to hear Elliot's Thursday morning announcement that after eight years, Kyle will be leaving Elliot in the Morning.

"Next Friday, Kyle is leaving and heading out to Orange County [California] just south of LA with fiancé, Page," Elliot said.

"I've done this everyday for eight years," Kyle said, noting that he has grown up on the show.

A commenter on Facebook asks, "Who's going to sing 'Christmas Shoes' with Tyler after Kyle leaves?"

Wasting no time, Elliot introduced Kyle's replacement, a 22-year-old girl named Kayleigh (a.k.a. New Kyle). She will take over, full time, when Kyle leaves next Friday.

Here's audio of Elliot's announcement:

Update:
