Live with Kelly and Mark is currently on its annual summer break, but the weekday talk show continues to air previously recorded installments that still offer fresh moments. Thursday’s episode was taped earlier and featured interviews with Anthony Anderson, Sofia Carson, and Linda Cardellini, along with a performance by A Great Big World.
Over the last couple of weeks, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos also welcomed guest co-hosts when needed. During the week of July 29, fill-ins included Jerry O’Connell, David Muir, Carson Kressley, and Steve Patterson while Consuelos was working on a project in Los Angeles. The following week, Ripa was away, and Consuelos led the show with Jackie Tohn, Jenna Dewan, Rita Ora, Elle Duncan, and Katie Lowes joining as co-hosts.
The show has been pulling strong numbers recently. In the week of July 21, the program averaged about 2.2 million viewers, its best weekly performance since April, with June data showing gains across Nielsen’s key measures.
Why isn’t the show live today? A production source has explained that the Live family takes a summer break each year. Even during the break, episodes continue to bring new content, including host chats. Live with Kelly and Mark airs on weekdays, so viewers should check their local listings for when new material or encore presentations are scheduled.
On a lighter note, Kelly Ripa teased that she was “so impressed” by how quickly Mark Consuelos could remove a bra, adding a wink to the playful chemistry that fans love.
If you’re looking for more updates, keep an eye on the show’s schedule and local listings. And for fans seeking fresh clips and highlights, there are always moments to look forward when the show returns live with new interviews and performances.
Summary: Even during its summer break, Live with Kelly and Mark continues to deliver guest interviews and performances, with notable guest co-hosts stepping in and solid viewership numbers signaling ongoing audience interest. Expect more engaging conversations and entertainment when the show resumes its live broadcasts.
