"They are looking at different scenarios," Rancic told Us Weekly recently. "A lot of that will be up to [Melissa] and how she's feeling and how she decides what she wants to do, along with the execs here at E! ... They are seeing what Fashion Police looks like without Joan...

Do we want to do a Fashion Police without Joan? I don't know."
