Although Tom Brown and Tamara Taggart are nothing more than local TV weatherpeople, they might soon appear in millions of TV screens across Canada and the United States.

Brown, from CTV Toronto, and Taggart, from CTV BC, are semifinalists in the “Live! With Regis and Kelly From Local to LIVE: Co-Host for a Day” contest. They are both competing against 20 other local broadcasters from Canada and the US for a chance to fill in for Regis Philbin or Kelly Ripa in the popular morning show.

“It would be such a thrill to fill in for Kelly Ripa on LIVE!” said Taggart in a statement. “I am a big fan of hers and would love the opportunity to represent British Columbia in The Big Apple!”

For his part, Brown wants to use this opportunity to promote how great his city is. “I would be thrilled to share what makes Toronto special with fans across the continent,” he said

Both Brown and Taggart now depend on your vote in order to make it to the Big Apple. Online voting is taking place right now and it closes tomorrow July 28 at 10pm ET/7pm PT. The two winners -one male, and one female- will be announced on Wednesday July 29 during Live! With Regis and Kelly.

You can vote for Tom at ctvtoronto.ca and for Tamara at ctvbc.ca

The best of luck to our two Canadian semifinalists .
