Is LIVE With Kelly and Mark getting canceled by ABC? Viewers think that very much may be the case as neither the network nor the hosts seem to be putting any effort into the talk show. Likewise, viewers at home argue the talk show isn’t even delivering on the promise to be “live” as the name implies. Turns out, viewers at home aren’t exactly in love with the talk show right now. And, they think ABC should have just canceled LIVE With Kelly when her co-host Ryan Seacrest parted ways.

Is LIVE With Kelly and Mark getting canceled?

On social media, fans are furious with Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos. Fans noted the married couple must be enjoying their five-day weekend as Thursday, Friday, and Monday’s episodes of the talk show were all painfully pre-recorded. Continuing to blast the show, viewers at home argue the talk show should at least be renamed if they are going to continue to pre-record episodes versus actually doing them live.

Admittedly, some fans agreed it felt a bit lazy when the network just allowed Kelly’s husband to take over as co-host instead of finding someone else for her to work with. So, knowing the couple can’t even be bothered to come to the studio and host the episodes live isn’t sitting well with fans.

What About Len Goodman?

Viewers of Live With Kelly and Mark argue the biggest reason they were upset with Monday’s episode is that the death of Len Goodman wasn’t mentioned. The lack of paying any kind of tribute to this man made it painfully obvious to viewers at home that it was another pre-recorded episode. And, they just weren’t happy about it. Viewers at home thought the failure to mention Len Goodman was disgustingly disrespectful of Kelly, Mark, and the entire network.

Over the weekend on Instagram, Kelly Ripa shared photos of herself getting glammed up for her role as the host of the game show Generation Gap. And, long-time fans of her talk show thought it was wildly disrespectful that she was focusing so much more of her time and attention on the game show. In fact, some fans think that Kelly is going to shift her focus entirely to the game show and walk away from her talk show.

  1. Personally, I think the show is way better now that Mark is on it!!! Yes, the live does bother me when it’s not really live, but that’s not really Kelly and Marks fault. People are just jealous!!

  2. I actually like Mark n Kelly together but in long run I think it will ruin their marriage. I thought Ryan n Kelly was a much better show. Better chemistry for a talk show

  3. I think Ryan was the glue to this talk show… tired of hearing snout the Consuelos marriage!! I’m done watching…

    1. OK, these are my feelings. Ryan was the show. Kelly is a leftover Soap Opera queen. She once was beautiful, so they listened to the dumb. Now she is middle aged, and making inane boring comments. Ryan and Carson Kressley would be hysterical. I suggested on his Facebook page or Twitter Carson and Ryan team up. Carson just talking is hysterical, and Ryan is the deadpan stable anchor. Think “The Bird Cage” and Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Kind of the same thing. They could do it from LA and have much better guests, be more friendly to Ryan’s other work, and have a beautiful background city… much less ground zero for nuclear attacks… than New York City.

      1. sexist, agist much? Kelly worked her butt off to be on that show. why not speak of Seacrest’s aging as a negative. gross.

  4. Kelly is just a rich woman who won’t refuse a pay check. She is as amusing as being punched in the head, the only reason the show worked was because of the co host (not Mark)

  5. I’ve never enjoyed a morning show more! Even when Regis was on. Pre recorded or not it’s still the best talk show on tv. Those two together are pure magic!! Didn’t care for Ryan. Never thought he was funny!
