Live with Kelly and Mark fans are slamming the show’s hosts for creating what may be the stupidest segment ever. After Thursday’s show, viewers took to social media to inform Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos that they were doing a viral challenge wrong. Keep reading to see what happened and why fans are rolling their eyes.

Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos Take On A TikTok Challenge

During Thursday’s show, Kelly said that she wanted to try a TikTok challenge that she saw on her feed recently.

“I want to try this challenge with you because-,” she started saying to Mark Consuelos. “I don’t know if you guys have seen the chair challenge. It’s taking over TikTok, which I don’t have.”

She hinted that she wanted to see her husband perform the challenge because the rumor on TikTok was that men can’t do it. However, producer Michael Gelman said that he tried it and was able to do it. So, Kelly Ripa wanted to see if her hubby could do it too.

The Live host took a moment to explain the challenge to her husband, stating that only women should be able to do it. You have to take three steps away from a wall and then put your head against the wall at a 90-degree angle. Then, according to Kelly Ripa, you are supposed to lift a chair underneath you.

“And they’re saying men can’t do that,” Kelly told her husband. Mark completed the challenge almost perfectly and Kelly was surprised, asking why he could do it.

“I’ll tell you why,” he replied. “Because this TikTok generation is soft. Especially the guys. You’re soft. If you can’t do that, do some sit-ups.”

The hosts then called up two men from the audience who were also able to complete the challenge without any problems. Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos returned to their desk as Kelly remarked how the challenge was “stupid.”

“I was so excited because I thought we were going to show the men what they can’t do,” she said. “Apparently, nobody else can do it, except for us here in this studio.”

Viewers Slam Live Hosts For Doing The Challenge Incorrectly

Live with Kelly and Mark viewers got on to talk about the latest TikTok challenge segment. The overall consensus was that the only “stupid” thing here was the show’s hosts. Apparently, Kelly and Mark were doing it all wrong.

“@kellymarklive You are doing the wall/chair trick incorrectly. The trick is based on women generally having shorter feet in relation to height. When the men scoot forward after stepping back it negates that,” one fan wrote.

Another chimed in saying, “@kellymarklive Mark could lift the table because its The #Chair challenge not the #Table challenge.”

Several viewers also pointed out that all of the men took one step forward after they took three steps back, making it only two steps away from the wall. They said that Mark moved forward and also pointed out that his head wasn’t at a 90-degree angle.

What do you think about Kelly Ripa and Mark’s mishap on Live? Should they give it another try?
