  1. It was reported (somewhere?) that the DOOL Weakest Link episode was taped in late 2022.
  2. Paul is dating JeannieTheresa's brother, Andrew Donovan.
  3. Hulu seems to load the show by 7PM PT. Sometimes, the Friday episode is there at roughly 5PM PT. One added perk is that the commercial breaks are just 90 seconds, and often only 30 seconds.
  4. That seems to be in-style this season. I have been to several nice venues on the west coast and all the decor is "classic" ie silvers and golds and faded blues, with white lights. I am used to shopping malls and casinos and performance centers with big huge red and green decor, with multi-colored lights flashing, so I am missing those celebratory (admittedly loud) colors.
  5. I seem to recall from the previous strike that those who crossed the picket lines and worked are ruled ineligible to work once the strike is resolved.
  6. The preview only covers the last 7-8 weeks of actual legit writers. The strike hit while Ron was working on XMAS. We have no idea what direction was taken in the 2024 shows. I've seen some speculation that the replacement writing staff basically kept things on hold, but who knows what the legit writing team found when they returned. That may have limited what could be featured in a "new season" promo. Also, given that the show has just escaped Alarr Control, we may see some changes or transitions. Blake Berris as the new season "returnee" could be a masterstroke.....unless he gets roped into silly nonsensical corporate storylines.
  7. ABC has announced that GMA is moving from Times Square to the new ABC complex at Hudson Square in NYC. Nearly all the articles on this have also mentioned that "60% Live with Kelly and Mark" will move there in 2025. I'm not sure if WABC is moving. Presumably WABC will continue to produce 60LWKAM. The new mega complex is large, but typically most studios are clumped together in one area. Kelly and Strahan under the same roof again.
  8. It wouldn't surprise me that Kelly "speaks better" when not on camera. It seems as if she holds back, and really isn't as relaxed and open on her own show. She tells stories just fine when being interviewed by others. She tells stories just fine on her podcast. She seems to hang with a rather high-caliber of brainy celebs, from Anderson Cooper to David Muir.
  9. Did the show mess up the Wednesday Trivia question? The show was "live" on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday and Friday were pre-tapes. The Wednesday Trivia Question asked what what food Kelly prepares that Mark likes. I didn't recall that being covered at all on Monday and Tuesday (though I generally only watch the first 20-25 minutes). The Trivia Player was totally baffled and didn't even make a guess. The answer was Meatloaf. So then I watch the Thursday episode, which was pretaped. And the Host Chat has this big discussion of folks preparing food out of obligation or out of love, and that those dining will say that everything always tastes great. Mark suggests that he loves Kelly's mealoaf. They talk on and on about the meatloaf and the food topic is the main topic of the pretaped Host Chat. A live Wednesday trivia player could not have seen the pretaped episode until Thursday. I know that Los Consuelos can get repetitive at times, so maybe Meatloaf was also mentioned on Monday or Tuesday... The perils of pre-taping?
  10. RE: Sunny and Her Phone On Monday's after-show podcast, Sunny revealed to TetaBoss that Paloma has a congenital eye disease in which her eye muscles are out of sync. Apparently this forces her daughter to need up to 50% longer to read anything. Sunny apparently petitioned the ACT testing folks to give Paloma "extra time" for the test. Paloma got her ACT results on Monday. She apparently was in the Top 10% and was so excited she called her mom without thinking. Paloma realized what she had done and instead texted her mother with the news. Sunny said that her family has never spoken publicly about the eye issues. Sunny also said that she has all callers blocked during the broadcast, except the two kids. They know they are to text, and apparently they do often. The after-show one-on-one podcasts aren't too deep, but they are pretty good. They are typically 12-16 minutes long, with no commercials. Usually TetaBoss pulls some tidbit from the show and he and the co-host "go deeper" in discussion.
  11. Kelly will hang around long enough to be the longest-serving host of "Live". I think Regis was there for 26 years, so she is nearly there. Ratings are stronger than ever and swapping out Mark for Ryan appears to have been a masterstroke.
  12. Did anyone else get a "Kelly and Ryan" rerun with Mark co-hosting on Monday 09-18-23? Kelly and Mark interviewed Jake Gyllenhall, all the signage was still "Kelly and Ryan", and they purposely excised the date announcement at the beginning of Host Chat. Was there a problem with the show that led them to replace it with a rerun? I found the actual 09-18 Host Chat on the Kelly+Mark website. And lots of chopped up Ryan appearance clips. The full show isnt on YT like it often is.
  13. The NY Times article (behind paywall, but an email gets you a couple free articles a month): https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/17/arts/television/live-with-kelly-and-mark.html No real news broken. Ratings are solid. Mark was afraid that taking the job would limit his acting career (lol). Ryan and AndyCohen inject their approvals.
