Kelly Ripa hosted Live with Kelly and Mark without Mark Consuelos again on Thursday, this time with Carson Kressley by her side.
The Queer Eye For The Straight Guy alum is the latest to join Rip after Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen‘s co-host appearances this week on Tuesday (Jan. 21) and Wednesday (Jan. 22), respectively. He and Ripa got the chance to chat with Darren Criss, who is starring in Maybe Happy Ending on Broadway.
Guests this week have also included Naomi Watts, Ken Jennings, Julia Garner and Morris Chestnut.
This isn’t the first time that Live has touted a star-studded guest host lineup. While Ripa was absent in August 2023, Consuelos was joined by the show’s announcer Deja Vu, as well as Maria Menounos and Jenny Mollen, who stepped in for the Live anchor during her absence.
However, it looks like Live fans will not have to wait much longer for Consuelos’ return. Continue reading for more on when Consuelos makes his way back to the Live co-host desk.
Where is Mark Consuelos?
On Wednesday’s episode, Ripa revealed that Consuelos is “shooting a film in the South.” The subject came up as she and Cohen talked about the cold weather in New York City, which has impacted the southern regions of the U.S., too. Ripa said that “they shut down the production” on Consuelos’ project because of snow.
When will Mark Consuelos return to Live with Kelly and Mark?
Good news: He’ll be back tomorrow! Consuelos will be back on Friday’s (Jan. 24) episode, where according to Live‘s guest listings, he and Ripa will be speaking with Presence star Lucy Liu and Star Trek: Section 31 star Omari Hardwick.
