Is Kelly Ripa Salty With Ryan Seacrest?
Wait, is Kelly Ripa having a feud with Ryan Seacrest?
The former cohosts seemed to have a great time together on the Live set. Ryan even came back to fill in when Kelly and Mark Consuelos took some time off for a summer vacation.
But new evidence is leading some fans to believe that Ryan and Kelly might not be so chummy with each other right now. What exactly was said?
Did Kelly Ripa throw some shade at her former cohost?
By now, most avid television viewers have heard that Ryan Seacrest will be the next Wheel of Fortune host. Long-time host Pat Sajak is retiring soon after running the show for decades.
Fans will definitely miss Pat Sajak, but many are interested to see what Ryan Seacrest will bring to the table.
Publicly, Kelly Ripa seemed happy for her old friend. But is there more going on behind the scenes? During a trivia segment on Live, Kelly made a salty comment that also seemed to take a dig at Ryan Seacrest.
As Mark explained the rules of the trivia game to the player, Kelly chimed in and said that she doesn’t actively participate any longer because she’s “just a secondary figure” since Mark joined the show. After making the comment, she started mimicking Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune and acted like she was presenting something.
“Yes, I turn the letters, that is my job,” Kelly said when Mark asked what she was doing.
Although the Live hostess didn’t specifically shade Ryan Seacrest here, plenty of fans interpreted her comment as a salty dig. Is it possible that she also felt like Ryan Seacrest’s sidekick when he was part of Live?
Is it possible the Live hostess feels a bit jealous?
Fans can’t be sure of what Kelly Ripa is feeling unless she decides to speak up. However, some fans can’t help but wonder if she’s a little jealous for another reason.
Game show lovers might be familiar with Kelly’s show, Generation Gap. Although many agree it’s cute and fun, some have accused the show of being completely staged.
This is the dumbest show I’ve seen. Toddlers Choice is meant to make the family mad at the kid. Kelly walks a couple inches ahead of the kid and obstructs their vision from the expensive prize in order to guide them to the cheap toy. She influences the choice. #GenerationGap

Generation Gap does have its fair share of fans, but it’s pretty clear that it will never be the juggernaut that Wheel of Fortune is. Kelly Ripa’s Wheel of Fortune comments could be completely innocent. But if there is any bad intent behind them, some fans think she could be jealous of Ryan Seacrest’s new role and success.
