Live Mark Consuelos Talked About Kelly Ripa’s Retirement
For most of this year, speculation about Kelly retiring has been a common occurence. She kickstarted it by joking about winning the lottery. And, it escalated from there. Back in September, Mark discussed with Nischelle Turner about the host’s busy job. In fact, he felt that she might be planning to quit her job as she deserves some rest. However, he also felt that it might not happen in 2023.
Before Mark Consuelos arrived permanently on the Live show, he was often away filming for Riverdale. Although he seemed a bit awkward initially, he seems to have gotten a handle on co-hosting now. Might he consider throwing in the towel after just eight months of working beside his wife? Read on to find out.

Live With Kelly And Mark Final Show Of The Year
This year, in between talking about her retirement, Kelly talked about how her husband landed the job. Actually, she thought working together was a “terrible idea.” Incidentally, a lot of fans agreed with her. However, the ABC execs felt that he boosted views on the Trivia Game segment. So, he ended up taking the job after Ryan Seacrest left. But did he hint that he’s moving on?
The Sun reported on what happened with Mark Consuelos during the final Live show of the year. After the couple’s entrance, they received cheers and applause, and Mark Consuelos talked about it being the end of the season. The segment was prerecorded as they had already taken their hiatus.
The outlet cited Mark as saying:
Final show of the year…It’s flown by. Eight months on the show for me.
Meanwhile, Kelly Ripa shouted out emphatically, “This is it!!”
Naturally, that leaves room open for speculation that Mark”s done his final show forever. Rumors start so easily, and the hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark certainly know how to spark a topic. However, it seems very unlikely that either of them will retire without a press statement from ABC. After all, they are not there to polish the floors.
Did you think that Mark Consuelos was hinting about retiring after just eight months on the ABC talk show? Are you glad that both of them probably return for another season? And, if they were retiring, then Kelly Ripa would likely go out with a bang. Let us know in the comments below and come back here for all your Live with Kelly and Mark news.
