Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos Detect On-Air Surprise Immediately
Undeniably, change is happening on the Live With Kelly And Mark show. After Ryan Seacrest bid his adieu, Kelly Ripa’s right-hand man, Mark Consuelos, slid into the job. And while that is just one switch-up, there have been plenty of others that accompanied the new host. But producers got a little sneaky and added a surprise neither Kelly Ripa nor Mark Consuelos were told about.
Switching Up Things With Kelly Ripa And Mark Consuelos
With Mark Consuelos joining the crew full-time, there have been several things that have changed. For instance, the trivia game recently underwent a significant change. One of the fan’s favorite segments was Brighten Your Day Trivia. However, after months of contestants failing to stump the new host in the game, Live decided to rebrand it. Furthermore, its new name was appropriately given, Stump Mark, for the new season. Not only that, but anyone able to trick Mark and win the game now receives more than just a show-branded mug. Additionally, winners now get a second prize, an “I Stumped Mark” T-shirt with Mark and Kelly’s faces.

Other noticeable changes are how the two hosts, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, banter back and forth. Naturally, there’s a boost of chemistry due to the fact they are not only co-hosts but also husband and wife. Undeniably, there are a few more moments that lean toward NSFW since the lines of home and work can be a little blurry. And obviously, things can get a little awkward at times with this new dynamic duo.
Heavenly Moment Unfolds
After caller Lillian joined the daily trivia segment, the normal game explanation occurred. Kelly and Mark went on to share the prizes that a winning contestant would get. While the screen showed each of the items, an angelic sound played. Between the mug and the t-shirt, the two different sounds chimed in the background, the second one being higher pitched than the first. Although there are usually sound effects, something was a bit different this time. At which, the new Live With Kelly And Mark host, Mark Consuelos, chuckled a bit. This then led Kelly to notice something with the music.
Of course, she couldn’t help but react by calling it out, “Wait a minute,” she said. “Wait a minute!” Smiling and laughing, showing she knew what was going on, she continued: “Wait just a second.” But it was Mark that got the question out, “Was that some harmonizing?” As he showed his keen observation skills. “Did I just hear a different sound for the shirt,” Kelly squeezed in before Mark asked the producers to replay the music.
After hearing it again, Kelly’s jaw dropped open in shock. Meanwhile, Mark just gave a big smile. Mark quipped, “And that’s how you feel when you beat me.” Kelly added, referring to the angelic tone, “A heavenly shirt, yes.” Once their on-air surprise had its moment, they got back to the show.
