Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos recently appeared on the talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, where they discussed working together, Mark zoning out, and their experience backstage during the Oscars. As the married couple co-hosts their own talk show, Live with Kelly and Mark, they were asked about the dynamics of working together. They revealed that they rarely talk about work at home, as they are both already there and know what happened during the show. However, when they do discuss it, they often forget the guests they had on that day.
During the interview, Kelly caught Mark zoning out and called him out on it. Mark admitted that he was thinking about what he forgot to order for lunch. This led to a humorous conversation about how it is a common occurrence at home as well. They joked about how Mark should take more naps on air, but Kelly emphasized that when it spills over onto the show, it becomes a problem.
The couple also discussed their experience at the Oscars. Kelly described the backstage area as a cramped space with Jimmy Kimmel‘s desk cut in half and eight people trying to interview celebrities like Jennifer Lopez. Despite the chaos, the couple shared that they are often the first people that winners make eye contact with after receiving their Oscars. They also mentioned how they have a bottle of tequila backstage to make conversations easier.
When asked if they could see or hear the show, Kelly mentioned that the backstage area has a small old flat-screen TV with low volume. They also mentioned missing the infamous La La Land moment, where the wrong winner was announced, because they were already packing up backstage. Kelly expressed relief that they don’t have to host the show, leaving it to Conan.
The conversation then shifted to their children. Kelly revealed that they no longer live in their house, and she jokingly mentioned using their bathrooms since they paid for the house. They shared that they get along well and are enjoying their empty nest.
As the interview concluded, Jimmy Kimmel invited them to hang out and experience the excitement of sitting in the audience during the Oscars. However, they politely declined and said they would watch it at home.
Overall, the interview provided a lighthearted and entertaining glimpse into Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos‘ lives as a couple working together and their experiences backstage during one of the most glamorous nights in Hollywood. Fans of the talk show and the couple’s on-screen chemistry will surely enjoy watching their banter and humorous anecdotes.
