Mark Consuelos Celebrates One-Year Anniversary as Co-Host of ‘Live’ Alongside Kelly Ripa
Today, April 17th marks a full-year since Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo, All My Children) took over the co-hosting duties of ‘Live” alongside his wife, and longtime co-host, Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley, All My Children).
Consuelos replaced Ryan Seacrest who are six seasons decided to be back on the west coast full-time. For Consuelos, now having the opportunity to work off of Ripa as co-hosts has been something of adjustment for him, but viewers have been eating it up.
Live with Kelly and Mark has remained the No. 1 entertainment talk show on television over the past year, growing 3% in average total viewers to 2.23M per episode. Ā It is also the most-watched daytime talk show in the last year in key demos of women 18-49 and women 25-54. All of this, since the real-life marrieds teamed-up.
Speaking with Deadline, Kelly Ripa shared why the two are gelling on-screen, āI do think that there is something very possibly relatable about our relationship. We have disagreements like a normal couple, and weāre not afraid to let them unfold on the air and in front of America, and I think people find a lot of themselves in that.”
Mark weighed in how he has progressed as a host, and what he could improve at, sharing, āIād like to get better at my interviewing skills. Iād like to get better at reading a teleprompterā¦I think Iām getting better at throwing to commercial. The other day in the middle of the show as we go to commercial, my sign off was āSee you guys around.ā I mean, the show wasnāt over. The most obvious thing to say would be, āWeāll be back right after this.ā But I just said, āSee you around.ā So we went to commercial and one of the producers (goes) āWhat was that?ā I donāt knowā¦ So for the next few sign offs, as a joke, Iād say āSee you around.ā We got a kick out of it.ā
Meanwhile, Kelly has given huge props to Mark, āI find Mark utterly compelling, really interesting, super funny, and heās bold in a way like nobody else. He says whatās on his mind. If heās thinking it, he says it.Ā Iāve done this a long time and oftentimes people will adjust their natural personalities to pander to what they think the audience wants to hear, and Mark will tell people what he thinks, and he doesnāt care if itās not a popular opinion. It gives him an edginess that I think is really missing in the landscape today. Everybodyās so afraid to say anything, and Mark is unafraid to say exactly what heās thinking.ā
In a statement, Debra O’Connell, President News Group and Networks, Disney Entertainment shared, We could not be more thrilled with how Mark has seamlessly joined the show family as permanent co-host. His undeniable charisma and his and Kellyās natural chemistry are evident as they deliver the laughs and smiles to our viewers each morning. We are incredibly proud of how LiveĀ has continued to evolve and that the audience is responding so enthusiastically.ā
So, do you think Mark Consuelos is the best co-host his wife Kelly Ripa has ever had on ‘Live’? How would you say he is doing as co-host after one full year on the job? Comment below.

Y&R’s Hayley Erin Previews Her Role in Horror-Thriller ‘New Life’
Peoples life style have changed since the at home house wives..
It is daytime tv that has killed the soaps more than other reasons..
If, the soaps would have moved to an evening time slot they would have done well..
Also; many as myself watch via the internet since we were able to and we were not counted until recently.
There are not many at home moms to watch daytime tv..
Seems to me the Senior’s and disabled would mainly be the at home daytime viewers.. Most all women work these days..
Women are too busy to sit through an hour show during the day or 2 or 3 hours of soaps daytime..
Daytime is no longer good for the soaps..
