Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa are truly unfiltered on Live.
After all, the Riverdale alum revealed why he sometimes uses their daytime talk series to broach difficult conversations.
“When I’m really afraid to talk about something, I wait for the show,” Mark admitted to Entertainment Tonight in a joint interview with his wife of 29 years on the Oscars 2026 red carpet. “That way I have safety in numbers. I’m in a safe space.
To which Kelly added through laughter, “Why discuss is privately when I can bring it up in front of the audience?”
But while the couple—who share Michael28, Lola24, and Joaquin23—were spending their evening at the 98th Academy Awards, they were still planning on kicking off their Monday morning bright and early.
“All I know is that I wake up about 15 minutes into the show tomorrow morning,” Mark joked of the early call time. “I’m like, ‘Oh we’re here.’ And the show has been on already.”
Meanwhile, Kelly—who has previously hosted Live with Regis Philbin, Michael Strahan and Ryan Seacrest—detailed why she loves a post-Oscars morning on their show.
