Kelly Ripa Was Stranded

After safely returning home, Kelly Ripa revisits her hectic weekend adventure. She says, “Oh my gosh! It was wild. I had a wild travel weekend.” She reflects on the crazy time she had and feeling stranded. At the beginning of her trip, she made it to see her niece. She even posted about attending freshman orientation with her. However, it turned ugly when Kelly needed to travel to Georgia to be with another niece.

That was when the tech outage interrupted her plans. When Crowdstrike released an update that crashed many systems, Kelly was caught in the middle of it. Although she was with one niece at the University of Minnesota, she couldn’t get a flight to assist her other niece with her Georgia college preparations. On Live Monday, she expressed that she didn’t need to imagine being “in the room” when Mark asks the audience. Instead, when the glitch happened she was directly affected by the aftermath of the flawed update. She tells Mark she was “in the adjacent room.”

Mark Consuelos asks Kelly Ripa about the “wild” experience. He says, “What were the attitudes in the room? Were people freaking out?” Admittedly, Kelly pauses but replies, “I was freaking out.” Then, she elaborates, “I was on a freshman tour at the University of Minnesota with my one niece and after the tour, we had to fly to Georgia to pick up my other niece.” Mark listens intently slightly fidgeting, but says, “Yeah.” Kelly continues, “So, as it turns out, there was no way to get there at all.”

Mark chuckles a little and Kelly adds, “But everything worked out. It was fine in the end, it was fine. But it, you know,” then Mark intervenes. He says, “I know. I was waiting for you to come home.” He shakes his head showing he knows it was bad. She says, “Oh, when I came in, I came in hot.” She reiterates but makes fun of her reactions saying, “I came in hot. I was angry ’cause the lights weren’t on!” But Mark segways into asking permission to leave the country after her terrible travel time which distracts her from her rough weekend.
