On Monday’s Live With Kelly And Mark, Mark Consuelos halts the show after an unknown scary incident occurs backstage. Notably, the audience and hosts alike were concerned for those involved.

Technical Difficulties

Since Live With Kelly And Mark is usually filmed in front of a live audience, it can come with its unforeseen challenges. For instance, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos had a glitch to sort through during the show. One of the moments that threw the hosts for a loop was when Kelly’s microphone was not working right. While telling a story she stops to read the instructions on-screen. “Turn on Kelly’s mic,” she reads aloud and looks down at the mic clipped to her dress. “Mark, turn on Kelly’s mic,” additionally she reads, as it instructs Mark to help. But confused he asks, “How do you turn it on?” as he struggles to get it to work.

Then Mark Consuelos redirects to the crew saying, “Do you want to try, Scott? You’re the guy.” In an attempt to move on Kelly offers to just yell. They all fidget with the equipment and work through the technical difficulties on air. After multiple tries, Mark gives up and Kelly decides to enlist a new mic instead. But this wasn’t the only issue on the Live show that day.
