Oh gee ! Kelly went as far as hiding out on a private island far from NYC  and pretending  she was experiencing the horrors of covid in the city ! She even mentioned hearing sirens!  But then we found out she was lying  so she said she got “stuck “ there on vacation !So now she gets exposed to covid from a guest she was in very close contact with on the show , while being the only show that still does not have an audience in NYC !  Oh the irony ! 

That would be interesting if the person who fled the city and country and pretended to be hearing and seeing  the suffering of the pandemic NYC,  while she was on a private island in the Caribbean, and has the only talk show without an audience , was exposed to covid from a guest !

Kelly is one of the most fake hosts around . She also liked about suffering during Hurricane Sandy and  even said they couldn’t shower or use WIFi, when they were all actually staying at the very expensive Mark Hotel ! LOL

Looks like there will be more pre-recorded shows to accommodate this, I’m sure 🙄:

Thanks for posting the link! I doubt the show will go past a few episodes, let alone a whole season. Kelly can't stand any attention that is not focused on her.

Another show??  Wow, amazing stuff considering, by her own admission, Kellmeeee is "terrified" of public speaking.  I'm guessing a talk show and an additional game show falls out of the realm of 'public speaking' even though it's viewed by thousands of people?

Kudos to Kelllmeeee for being able to overcome her insecurities, lol ;)

[Mindthinkr]

I wonder why Kelly said yes to doing the game show. Ah, that’s right. Michael Strahan got the 100 Thousand Dollar Pyramid after he left Live. I think he’s doing another one as well. Jealousy perhaps? We know she doesn’t need the money.

Her personal version of "The Chase?"

Regis did Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Kelly probably thinks that hers will be in the same ballpark! lol

Let's not forget, her immortal and beloved MARK CONSUELOS!!!! is now an out of work actor since he left Riverdale.  Maybe their lifestyle is suffering now that he's not bringing in a paycheck, lol, and Kelllmeee has to pick up the slack.

[Me from ME]

I haven't been a regular on this thread. My mother used to listen to Regis and Kathy Lee ( I hated her back in the day). I liked Kelly when she was first on the show although it did seem like she used Regis, but, back when she was pregnant with Lola and ate a whole box of Goldfish crackers  I thought she was relatable. My husband and I even were in the audience on two occasions and she was unfailingly polite and willing to stand for numerous photographs while Regis was off the set.

Anyway, what are the rumors about Ryan leaving the show? There have been some blinds by Enty lawyer about possible replacements.  (Should the show last that long.)  Is there a guest host scheduled for next week as a possible new host?)

[SanDiegoInExile]

The game show is a Milojo Production.  So Kelly is the boss.  Which probably helps explain why she has had so many "west coast based" zoom meetings the past few weeks.

Most game shows are pretty heavily scripted.  That's not public speaking.

Notlive are off (I guess) for the entire week for the Easter Break. I'd love to have her job just for all the vacation days she gets!

Well, with 20 plus years she must have a lot. That said, this show is hardly ever live anymore. Wasn’t she just off two weeks ago? I know her Mark ran a marathon in their hometown of Michigan (LOL) over the weekend but she appears to be back. The third and Friday shows aren’t live and with Ryan off doing Idol it’s appalling that they get paid so much money for not actually doing the job they’re supposed to do. Granted, the taped shows are “work” but the live element is all but gone from this show.

Also, Kelly was able to plug her book today on social media that she “wrote”.  It’s on preorder which is coming out in September. I’m thinking GMA will have to clear out the studio of Strahan if she’s interviewed for it. They are basically on the same network so in September she’ll be on every talk show imaginable starting with Andy Cohen, Jimmy Kimmel, Anderson Cooper. It’s just the morning shows I can’t decide that she decides to do.

Usually, celebrities are in studio plugging their books. Also, she’s in NYC, too. Believe me. She’ll be in studio with Andy, Jimmy & Anderson come September. Of course, she could still do it remotely with Robin or George (husband of Ali Wentworth) as you suggested. Time will tell.

I can see being on WWHL, Andy has a very low bar for celebs.  I also agree about Jimmy Kimmel, it's an ABC show.  But doesn't Anderson host a news show?  Does he interview celebrities?  I don't know, I've never watched his show.

While I have not read their contracts, I would suspect that both are doing the job they're supposed to do.  WABC and Disney syndication clearly save tons of money by not mounting a production five days a week.  Until the local affiliates start barking about show quality or something better comes along, it probably won't change.

The pretapes are vastly better than they were a half-decade ago.  The cuts are cleaner and there is less visible choppiness.

I live on the west coast, so I have never gotten a "live" show in 30 years.  Hasn't hurt my appreciation for the show.

Wasn't a marathon, just a 5K which is only 3.1 miles.

They really are embracing the college life, aren't they?  lol

[Onefineday]

I'm sure her book with be filled with passive-aggressive stories and backhanded compliments. 

[ByaNose]

Well, it is Easter break so I guess they are home with the kids…..I guess? I’ll give them a pass. Of course, they might need Monday off after Easter to recover. So it’s possible they’ll be able to pull off a Tuesday to Thursday LIVE schedule as to not ware them out. LOL!!!! Come May through September they’ll hardly be on at all which isn’t anything new. 

It is funny though because when I was young (I’m 57) and we had Easter break (I don’t recall it being a whole week though) both my parents worked. Now, it seems parents schedule their vacation time and the whole family goes to Florida or some island. Even our local news in Philadelphia is bare bones because everyone took off. They are using 3 stringers and weekend weather people to fill in for the stars this week. I don’t know when it became a “thing” but it wasn’t a big deal in my family except for the actual Easter Sunday. Maybe, I’m dating myself.

Growing up in the UK it was always a 4 day weekend break for most, Good Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Easter Monday with Friday & Monday being bank holidays. When I was older & working I would try & work Friday and/or Monday as they were triple time along with double time for the Sunday. So 9 days pay for 4 days work if you worked the Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon.

Same here.  I'm a tad older than you are.  For me, my parents and my bros it was essentially a long weekend with Good Friday off.  On Good Friday we always had takeout fish and chips (yum!).  We never went anywhere.  We dressed up for mass on Sunday and had a big dinner on Easter.  Long trips and vacations were always during the summer months.  But then again we were decidedly middle class and not the top 1% like some chat show hosts!

[Onefineday]

So they were live today and likely tomorrow, they are back to two days live per week.

I cancelled the taping beforehand because I just assumed they’d be off. How will I survive? LOL!!!!

[finnzup]

Best part of Friday's LiveNotLive show?  Kelllmeee thanking Kim Kardashian for her Skims because she looooves them for her 'lumpy' body and it hides her 'sharpei' stomach, lol.

What?!?!  Kellmeee has treated us to so many selfies of her amazing body and I dare say, there isn't one lump or bump or any sharpei-like wrinkles on her body.

Start shoveling interns! lol

 

 

[ByaNose]

Not live. Shocking.

[finnzup]

Add another name to the list of "He who shall not be mentioned...." Joe Ripa, politician from Camden County, oh my!

LiveNotLive actually Live today and Kellmeeee actually uttered the words "The Hamptons" too!! lol

Saw it where she mentioned the H word. She can’t believe people have mansions in The Hamptions?! Has Kelly looked in the mirror lately? She’s one of those people.

What about her father, Joe? Did she mention that she couldn’t mention him anymore? She always talked about her parents. Granted she hasn’t always talked about her mother in glowing terms but still she often has talked about them. 

[finnzup]

42 minutes ago, ByaNose said:

She told a story of how her father, who went to Mass 'daily' and apparently was an usher, would curse up a blue streak before and after church on the holidays of Easter and Christmas because he couldn't find parking.  He would become 'enraged' because of all the people that showed up for Mass.  And poor Essie would try and calm him down as he cursed up his fellow Catholics but that would only make him 'more enraged.'  

I found it a funny story but with that said, her father, according to her, is a staple at his Church (interns, start shoveling) as well as a popular politician and just wondering if the Monsignors and fellow parishioners would find offense with his judgmental tirade.

My guess would be that her parents might have found the story just a bit embarrassing, hence the "he who shall not be mentioned" reference.

I'm sure some of the parishioners might agree with him about the members of the flock who only show up for Easter and Xmas.  As for the monsignors, I'm sure they have bigger things to worry about.

My bad, I should have had "every day" in quotes.  From the live transcript:

Kelly: My dad was the complete opposite. He lived in the church. He was there every day. He collected the money and the whole thing. He would -- oh, my gosh.

 

[ByaNose]

I thought Kelly looked especially pretty today in her Pretty Woman inspired polka dot dress. Usually, I hate what she wears because it’s a top with some long skirt that doesn’t match. I’m weird that way. Anyway, that’s my compliment for the day.

Well, she's back to this again.  And I agree with you about her 'pretty woman' dress, she looked lovely.

LiveNotLive taped again today, another mess of a show, I guess their usual edit person was off when they did the edit because I felt it was very sloppily cut and pasted.

Gelman, how much of the "Live Inbox" do you think your audience can take???

Well, I’ll forgive them for not being live due to the holiday. Wait! It wasn’t a holiday?! It was just Monday. 

[SanDiegoInExile]

Everyday is a holiday when you are worth $100M+.

[Onefineday]

It was surprising that it was live this morning.

Kelly's eating disorder is way out of control, she was flaunting her dress for the camera, and she looked like a tiny, little old lady that you could knockdown with a feather. 

I guess she lives on her vitamin pills, but she has the body of someone starving herself to death. 

[finnzup]

How about the major wardrobe malfunction?  I really can't believe Kellmeeee wasn't told about it by either Schully or Gelman via Sharpie on the white board.

Her dress was so ill-fitting through the torso that it was opening up in between buttons....totally could see her belly button (which, btw, looked like an innie rather than her famous outie, lol) as well as her abs.  At first, it was just one area, then all three buttoned areas popped open and there it was.

Didn't stick around long enough to see if they ever talked about it but gosh, I just wish she could tell a story or relay a remembrance without starting, stopping, starting again, stopping again, it's really not that hard to speak Kelllmeeee......lots of us do it all day, every day, lol.

[iwantcookies]

I watched the few clips they had with Alexander Scarsgard. My gosh what a handsome man. 

[Medicine Crow]

Today, during the interview with David Spade, Kelly, who was wearing billowing culotte-style pants, decided she'd put her left foot on the chair.  It was awkward & unachievable, so she had to "uncurl" herself.  Ryan looked at her like she was "out of her mind" ... funneeeee!!!

I wonder if Ryan asked her what the heck she was trying to do when they cut to commercial?

She's a hoot!

[ByaNose]

Not live…..as usual. I remember back in the day that Mothers Day week was a big deal. Not so much anymore. 

[finnzup]

LiveNotLive another pre-recorded show jam-packed with lots of crap for crap chat.

Really miss the spontaneity of the story-telling of old.  These chats about news articles is really quite boring.  I wonder if Kellmeee wanted time off to celebrate her anniversary?  

Kelllmeee's hand gyrations in trying to spit her story out about bus-driver dad and Christmas and pre-selected toys was unbearable.

Turned it off after that.

I do agree that in the old days it was What did you do last night driven whereas now it’s scurry to the newspaper articles that German has cut out for them. Regis would tell the best stories along with KLG…..until she didn’t. LOL!!! Kelly was there long enough with Regis to also have stories to tell as a young Mom and wife but that was years ago. Now she barely get two words out edgewise. I miss the old days.
