On the Live With Kelly And Mark show, things can get a bit tricky. Since the co-hosts, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, are married there is a new dynamic. During the Tuesday show, if looks could kill, Mark wouldn’t have made it. After the co-host popped off a cutting remark, Kelly in turn stared her husband down for his petty shot.

Kelly Ripa And Mark Consuelos Make It Work

Within the Live With Kelly And Mark show, the two co-hosts are known to banter back and forth. It’s only natural since they not only share the stage but a home and kids as well. Notably, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos exchanged vows on May 1, 1996, and have been going strong ever since. Together, the couple has been through many ups and downs and has made it work through the years on stage and off.

Mark Consuelos Was Itching To Give Kelly Ripa A Hard Time

However, on Tuesday’s show, Mark Consuelos was feeling a little frisky and spouted several things that led to a stare-down by Kelly Ripa. At first, Kelly brought up the topic of a survey that claims people from New Jersey are the worst travelers. Notably, Kelly’s home state is New Jersey. Then, as she proceeded with the topic, it was easy to see that Mark was feeling a bit ornery.

At any rate, he seemed to have a glimmer in his eye that said he was going to give Kelly a hard time. As she continued with the details about why the survey believes New Jerseyans are the worst, he took every opportunity to interject slight comments to make fun of Kelly and her home state. Seemingly, people from her home state struggle with many aspects of airport travel. For instance, attempting to carry a full-size bag as a carry-on, standing in the aisle talking, luggage retrieval, and even following the rules of going through TSA.

Mark Consuelos Gets The Eye

But, when Kelly Ripa got to the part of her reporting that said New Jersey people struggle with getting through TSA at airports, Mark Consuelos just couldn’t help himself. She says, “Going through the scanner with your phone, your jewelry, your medical devices…” Mark interrupts acting supportive, “Yes, it’s hard to get all those gold chains off at the same time.” Poking fun at New Jersey stereotypes. Correspondingly, Kelly closes her mouth and runs her tongue across her teeth deciding how she wants to respond to his insulting comment. And she pauses with a glare that could kill.

Still collecting her thoughts on the jab, Kelly Ripa stays locked on Mark. Then she straightens her papers and hits them on the table to align them. However, the whole time she keeps her eyes fixed on Mark. With a silence that shows she disapproves of his cutting statement, she stares him down. She shifts in her chair and taps her foot as the audience and Mark laughs at her animated body language. Then Mark jokes in a New Jersey accent, “Hold on, let me take off my Italian horn.” And she finally breaks and says, “I know someone who has an Italian horn,” referring to Mark.

What do you think about the jab that Mark Consuelos made about New Jerseyans? Do you think that Kelly Ripa’s response was on point?
