Kelly Ripa Doesn’t Want Husband Mark Consuelos To Co-Host ‘Live!’

Posted: May 3, 2012

mark consuelos

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are happily married. And if they want to stay that way Mark better stay away from the chair vacated by Regis Philbin.

Ripa has been auditioning potential co-hosts since Regis left Live! With Regis and Kelly last year and the show has considered giving Ripa’s husband the job. But Ripa said that she wouldn’t be able to handle working everyday alongside her husband.

Ripa said:

“No one would make me happier than Mark, but he values our marriage and he says that he doesn’t see how we could stay married and both do that show.”

Ripa has been joined by an endless list of celebrities on the show since Philbin’s departure. Jerry Seinfeld, Neil Patrick Harris, Seth Meyers, Pat Kiernan, D.L. Hughley, Jerry O’Connell, and Josh Groban have all had their turn sitting beside Kelly, but Ripa said it could take some more time to find the right co-host.

Ripa said:

“I’ve been through it from the other side. I sort of understand how it works, and what it is they’re looking for, and how this process can’t be rushed.”

Executive producer Michael Gelman added:

“Every day we come up with new ideas, and we get new revelations about who the new host should or shouldn’t be. The chemistry is key — and not just with Kelly, but with the audience and the staff and the format.”

Who do you think should be Kelly Ripa’s co-host on Live! With Kelly?

    I would pipe steak Kelly for hours just to soften her up then interview for that job. She'd be all smiley and telling them to hire me……then I woke up soaked!

    Anderson Cooper has the best chemistry with Kelly, and Ben Mulroney from Canada was great too.

  28. JR MARTINEZ. Put our Veterans back to work! He was LIKELY the most gracious STAR on DWTS to preform and win. Let's not ever again forget what over a decade of wars looks likes. Are you as brave is he is "LIVE"? GOT BALLS

    I am not sure she needs a full time cohost. She can carry the show by herself and seems to make them all feel comfortable. Seinfeld was the worst. Josh is great but he already has a career so does Anderson. So many have fit right in!

  31. Definitely NOT Matthew Broderick…. He was Horrible…

  32. Have an idea get rid of Kelly and Gelman…there will never be another Regis!

    I agree it seems to be taking forever to find a co-host. Not really loving anyone so far. Although he's a bit freaky, Jerry O'Connell is so far my favorite. What about John Stamos?

  39. josh groban, they have great chemistry.

  40. I would love to see Kelly GONE..she is the biggest ham and interrupts everyone especially if they are good and she has competition. Always has to be ON. Go away Kelly.

    I agree, thats why they need to fill the spot FAST – Gellman wants to "take his time", well you may not have to worrying about that if you don't get some new life in that show. And BTW – Hands down, NEIL PATRICK HARRIS!!!

    The crotchety and sexist Regis will be hard to replace. If she actually WANTS a male co-host, she will need someone that is comfortable with his male self, but not so male that he comes off as sexist. In this day and age, that is a hard balance to strike.

  51. I definitely agree with the fact that Kelly interrupts her guest entirely too much. It's like she thinks she has to say something funny or sound intelligent. I usually keep it on since it comes on after GMA but very seldom watch it anymore. She needs to learn to be a proper hostess and keep her mouth shut sometimes. Just my opinion.

  55. It's nice when Mark cohost every once in a while justn like when Joy did with Regis, but not everyday they do want to stayed marriag. Keep looking Kelly the right one will fall in place for you and you will know right away.

    They should cancel the show since its nothing but a 'what I did last nite' format for intellectually deficient audiences.

  57. josh or neal patrick harris….sorry to say..but mark is boring!

  58. Tell you what! I like Josh Groban from all the ones I've seen so far! Some that have been on try to be funny and fail! Take over the conversation. Josh doesn't do that and he is funny!

    Stopped watching after Regis left, Kelly is a spoiled little brat. I like what Bill Cosby said to her awhile back, "Kelly where are you from"? Kelly, "near Philly", Berlin, New Jersey. Bill Cosby, "ya see, near Philly, not from Philly or the city, some suburban town. This chick will never be from "the city" and that goes for "all cities". She is a "wanabe".

  64. I think John Stamos would be fantastic and I am very surprised he never was asked to co-host. That being said I like seeing a different co-host everyday, and your hubby Mark!

  75. Howie Mandel and Martin Short have BOTH hosted and have been very funny, They would have to be available for a long time to be a permanent co host.

  76. Would like Josh Groban for sure. He can bring some of the qualities of Regis back (singer, show stopper, etc.) I don't watch too much anymore without Regis, but do like to see Josh there. He's a natural and keeps Kelly grounded. Love Howie Mandel, but might get out of control – not ready for early morning show.

  77. Josh Groban. No question.

  78. Martin Short.

  79. Get rid of Kelly. There are a million other people to host the show.

Yes, I agree that its taking a bit long to find a co-host, but Kelly is doing fine without one! whomever it may be, the show will ROCK! I tivo this show daily, with or with out Regis being there…

  140. It's not the same without Regis. NO chemistry with tv audience, stage audience, boring discussions and topics. I've tried watching a few times…it's not the same. It's like they're trying to hard and fall flat. Perhaps if they had someone like Howie Mandel, Norm Crosby…someone funny to add a little zip, it could make a difference. Kelly tends to take over and interrupt too much too. She's also trying too hard. So sad. They neer should have let Regis go. He was the reason I watched. Loved his stories about the olden days…and I'm not even that old!

  141. Totally agree = Kelly is so annoying. Stopped watching after Regis left. Surprised the show is still on!!!!

    Denise Young Piper So far Neil is my fav as well. I'm thinking he won't get the job because he's gay. I believe they have nothing against it (NOR DO I) however, they have the older crowds they may fear might be against it..NOT sure other than he's been superior to everyone else. It makes me wonder why he wasn't hired immediately (if he even wants the job)…..

  145. What I think about the "new format" for the show… not that it really matters but…. Keep the guest hosting, and tone Kelly down a little. She's naturally funny, but she seems to be "all about me"… interrupting and keeping the focus on herself. Her hair.. that's another issue. False, false… she should stay natural and not turn herself into the HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITY want to be. I like her but seeing her everyday with Mark would wear thin in a short period of time. Too much of her personal family life. PLEASE… spare us. Her professing to be like a normal family when she could buy out more than half of her audience with her $$$$$'s. I am also afraid that too much exposure, with hollywood, awards shows, etc. will tire us of her. The previous co-host… Kathy…. yeah.. what's her name… is selling herself on NBC like a real boozer. Too much of a good thing could become it's DEMISE.

    Josh Groban and Neil Patrick Harris have been my favs, but please not that news guy Pat Kiernan? I can't stand to look at him. But Anderson Cooper would be the best.

    Jerry Oconnell is the funniest and has the best chemistry with Kelly. He would have great chemistry with Arte. Give him the job already. Can't stop laughing from when he was there last month. Go Jerry!

  247. Try stud-muffin Patrick Warburton… Why Not?

  248. Another thought what about actor Jon Cryer on Two And Half Men.He would be so much fun.

  249. Me

  250. How about Josh Elliott from GMA.. He's funny, intelligent & also a good interviewer. I hope they find a replacement soon because, Kelly is starting to get on my nerves. She's always pushing her hair back and it seems she can never stay serious for more than a couple minutes…

  251. I say Chuck Norris.

  252. I've tried to watch "Live" since Regis left, but it is not the same. Let's face it Regis is the best story teller and most interesting talker since Carson. It is his passion and experience that makes the difference. I wish Kelly luck, but I can't watch the show.

  253. Give the job to Gelman…we all know he feels he deserves it.. Why not, show can't get much worse.

    Michael Strahan is my first choice, with Josh Groban as runner up. Just make a decision!

  258. My husband Daniel Kmiecik! He's very likeable with women, funny, warm, intelligent and very talkative! He get along with everybody!

  259. Scott Miller whos the boss also ,the last show was taken a way for rachael ray and oprah had her claws in that with abc,she wanted rachael and told abc tony has to go and thats from a good source.so what other show scottwhos the boss did pretty well and still running reruns up until now .so what r u talking about

  260. I agree this show needs someone new just a few I thought of Nick Cannon,Andy Cohen and actor Jon Cryer on Two And Half Men.He so funny.But I do love Anderson Cooper he does have a funny side.Anyway just a thought I miss Regis.

    I like Howie & Kelly together but I really liked Dan Abrams on there they seemed to genuinely like each other & make each other laugh. I hate it when it's a comedian & Kelly acts like every word they say is hilarious or when it's someone "hunky" & she flirts & wants them to take off their shirt. That's why Dan Abrams worked because he's interesting, kind of silly & not some football player or "hunk".

  267. This process MUST move forward quickly. It is almost a year since dear Regis made his announcement to leave. Chem is important but it is now borderline crazy. Kelly is trying to hard and it is now showing. With all these different cohosts, some we know, some we don't it is getting boring. Great times passed were with Sam Champion, Anderson Cooper & Bryant Gumble to name a few. Definitely good chem with all of them, especially with Kelly & Bryant. They always played off each other with good timing. A daily run with Mark would not work for the audiance as it will become to much about the kids. Kelly & Regis had it all. SURPRISE us all Gilman and bring " The Reg " back (at any cost). He is right across the street. Stop trying to make another "perfect" marriage. Move forward soon and Kelly, you had better chem when you sat in your chair on the left. You seemed calmer!

    Yeah, lets hire Howie Mandel, the guy that can't shake hands without taking a show afterwards!! Not a good quality for a talk show host! See below:

    Mandel has mysophobia (an irrational fear of germs) to the point that he does not shake hands with anyone, including enthusiastic contestants on Deal or No Deal, unless he is wearing latex gloves. Instead of shaking contestants' hands when they offer them, Mandel often opts to exchange fist pounds, put his hands on contestants' shoulders, or give an occasional hug.

    Definitely agree – would love to see Mark without Kelly. She loves having the show to herself and I don't think she really wants a co-host. Why would she want to share the spotlight – she's a media hog and likes things just the way they are. I've tried watching a few times but just can't stand watching her interrupt everyone and everything – REGIS, WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
