She works for WABC, which produces the show for syndication. Sure, they sought input from all the staff, including Regis. But he did not give her anything except an amiable on-screen partner. As Regis discovered during his final contract negotiation, he was merely the "talent", 100% replaceable. At some point, Kelly (and Mark) will find that out as well. Although I imagine they already have mapped out a Retirement Plan, depending on the lengths of their existing contract. Though winning Emmys and being #1 rated is going to keep WABC extending offers. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7904-live-with-kelly-and-mark-general-discussion/page/95/#findComment-8391796

He was one of the few friends at GMA who did not abandon them. It makes sense that Strahan supported them. Back in the aughts, before his LwK&M days, when Strahan was a NY Giant, he was going through a particularly nasty divorce with the mother of his twin daughters, which was daily fodder for the Post and the News. Salacious details were alleged by both sides. It was quite juicy. I was working in Montclair NJ at the time, a co-worker and I went to the open house of the Strahan property in the same town, after the divorce, on our lunch hour. It was a grand old home, but it was cleaned out, we didn't get a sense of the previous owners. My point being Strahan was probably sympathetic to those two because he knew a thing or two about going through a scandal. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7904-live-with-kelly-and-mark-general-discussion/page/95/#findComment-8392078

Sorry SanDiegoInExile, the last time I did a citation was in my college days. If you want evidence of her disgust or disinterest or any other word you want to use for her outward aversion to his chat, just check out all the You Tube videos of the later days of Live! Her body language alone was disrespectful, imo, and if I'm not mistaken, Kellllmeeeee made derogatory remarks about Reege's weather reports and most importantly, his sports chatter before, during and after his reports. 13 hours ago, SanDiegoInExile said: Regis Philbin did not hire Kelly.

At the time, Reege was an Executive Producer and while I certainly have no knowledge about his power over the show, I can deduce that his yay or nay was something TPTB considered inasmuch as Kellllmeeee woud be his new co-host and they had a lot riding on the continued success of the show. 13 hours ago, SanDiegoInExile said: She had disagreements with how the old man treated her - no office, no support staff. demeaning nickname "Pippa" because his brain cells were so gone he couldn't even remember her name. Here's where I'm not understanding your point. If Reege was only talent, as you say, he certainly had nothing to do with her office or support staff. That would have been up to her agent as they dealt with TPTB, Art and or Gelman, as you pointed out. And as far as "Pippa?" I always looked at that as a term of endearment towards his much younger, wet behind the ears, cohost. I refer to some people in my circle with a nickname, not because I have forgotten their name, but because it's a sweet gesture. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. 4 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7904-live-with-kelly-and-mark-general-discussion/page/95/#findComment-8392094
goldenpuppy June 15 Share June 15 Kelly was nasty to both Regis and Michael and trashed Disney publicly along with not showing up for work . The only person Kelly seems to adore consistently is tacky , crude , misogynistic Andy Cohen, who she talks about sending her picture of nude male genitals . Very classy Ryan is someone ABC knew could handle her personality since he’s a pro and she couldn’t bulldoze him and treat him like crap when she has tantrums She made constant nasty remarks to Regis when he was getting older about his memory and was just so bitchy to him on the air . Kelly also acted as trashy as can be with constant sexual innuendoes and crude behavior when Michael was hired .The shows ratings were tanking until Michael came on when Kelly was solo . She was just plain gross since she had no ability to handle the show without acted tacky sex jokes . ABC told Gelman and Michael about the move and told them not to tell Kelly . She was so unprofessional on the air . Not showing up for work . Giving some ridiculous speech about respect and then attacking and insulting Michael on the air about his divorce to the point that he left early . Let’s be real , Kelly was only given and audition because ABC was doing synergy crap where they were doing crossovers on all of their soaps and shows . I liked Kelly at first because she seemed nice and real , but she was very inept at the job and Regis wanted Valerie Bertinelli who was way better . But ABC wanted that crossovers for the soap . So how was Regis reasonable for the office and bathroom situation when he had so little power ? Regis actually complimented Kelly in his book and went on her sitcom repeatedly to support her . He compared her to Lucille Ball which is a huge compliment . In return a Kelly trashed and blamed him in her book after he died . Kelly has along list of former buddies like Neil Patrick Harris , Jerry Seinfeld and Howard Stern to name a few . Its interesting that she loves someone like Andy who makes the most degrading shows about women and is a boozer who can’t control himself on television , while she totally trashes a way more mild show like The Bachelor that is on the network that pays her. I can’t believe her son went to NYU to work on trashy Tv with Andy . Mark is now saving the show from another mess with another cohost . He’s way better and more natural than Kelly is after 20 +. Years ! He has to move the show along while she crosses her arms and shakes and goes on and on about topics and can barely spit out words without saying “uh uh uh uh” multiple times or getting so personal about Mark and insulting him the point it is uncomfortable . Kelly once was enjoyable and down to earth , but she got obnoxious and tacky and now she’s lucky she has Mark to carry the show when she’s a mess ! Kelly should be thankful for the chance to live a very very upperclass life due to Live . Poor baby didn’t have an office or a private bathroom , which I doubt Kathie Lee had either ! How difficult to do that for millions ! Let’s be real , soaps are mostly gone now and have been for years. Kelly would be doing Hallmark movies if she was lucky or stints on other soaps if or wasn’t for Live. While Mark seems pretty grounded and realizes how lucky they are., Kelly transformed into someone who is very entitled and obnoxious. 7 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7904-live-with-kelly-and-mark-general-discussion/page/95/#findComment-8393037

ByaNose June 20 Share June 20 I think it’s awful that people are commenting on Kelly & Mark working 3 Days a week (live…..except when they ain’t) along with their previously recorded on Thursday and Friday shows. Do you realize that they work really hard (they don’t really) and, that Kelly makes at least 20 million alone doing the show? Mark makes less but he just started. I’m guessing he makes between 5 to 15 million. Give or take. That said, the show makes a lot of money for Disney which I guess justifies (not really) their huge salary. Now. the 4th of July is right around the corner so they’ll be off that whole week too. Finally, August is next so they might work 6 days (if that) and, won’t return until after Labor Day. You see it’s all perfectly understandable why they are off this week. They need time off to prepare for all of their time off and $$$$$$. It’s simply crazy. If they did 4 live shows a week consistently I probably wouldn’t be as disgusted as much but they don’t & I am. Have a great summer y’all. Because we all know Kelly & Mark are.

SanDiegoInExile June 28 Share June 28 (edited) The show's website has a Ticket option, so it's easy to determine "vacation" time. July audiences are/were needed for every MON-TUE-WED in July. Some dates are sold out. And there is a stray THU thrown in (July 18). In addition to "double episode days", they are likely taping the 10-minute Host Chats needed when the show goes dark in August. The tape schedule means that WABC does not have to pay union wages for the support staff two days a week. Letterman began this two decades ago when he started taping a Friday show on Monday. The View does the same thing during the summer, taping Friday on Thursday. Hoda and Kathie Lee did it for years too. (Have never watched Jenna, but they probably still do it). The later tapings a couple times a week also allows them to book guests who aren't willing/able to be on-set at 920A. Tamron, Sherri, Jennifer, and KellyClarkson all go into reruns for the summer, with maybe an occasional "all new" (pretaped) show. Honestly, I think that when Ryan left, the taping schedule has become more consistent. Working around his schedule made it seem that the pre-tapes happened on odd days.

Onefineday July 12 Share July 12 Ex-‘Bachelor’ contestant calls out Kelly Ripa for ‘offensive’ Jenn Tran interview https://pagesix.com/2024/07/11/entertainment/ex-bachelor-contestant-calls-out-kelly-ripa-for-offensive-jenn-tran-interview/ Former “Bachelor” contestant Ashley Iaconetti slammed Kelly Ripa for her “offensive” interview with “Bachelorette” star Jenn Tran. On Wednesday, the Bachelor Nation alum spoke out about Tran’s recent appearance on “Live With Kelly and Mark,” claiming the talk show host harshly drilled the Season 21 lead for choosing not to find a husband in an “office” or at “medical school.” “It disappoints me when I see that Kelly Ripa has such an ax to grind with ‘The Bachelor’ franchise,” Iaconetti said on the “Almost Famous” podcast. “Every time we have a lead go on the show to promote it, she always seems to be so skeptical of — a little bit of the lead, and their decision to be the lead — and also just the process,” she continued. Iaconetti, 36, alleged Ripa “just seems to really shame the show.” “She loves to pick at ‘The Bachelor’ and ‘The Bachelorette,'” the mom of one said, adding there are “so many reality shows out there that are so much more trashy.” Iaconetti explained that her co-host and Season 20 “Bachelor” lead Ben Higgins also had a similar experience with Ripa when he appeared on “Live With Kelly and Michael” in 2016. Higgins, 35, quipped the talk show host “definitely doesn’t like the show,” which “makes for an awkward interview.” “I don’t know if they denied her the ‘Bachelorette’ role at some point,” he joked. Higgins said Ripa was “still very nice” but interviews with Bachelor Nation leads tend to be “awkward” because they aren’t allowed to answer specific questions. Reps for Ripa weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment. On Monday, Tran appeared on “Live” with Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, as the two questioned why the physician assistant student wanted to be on the show. “You’re drop-dead gorgeous,” Ripa said. “You could meet anybody anywhere, at any time. Why why why [the show].” Ripa asked why Tran didn’t choose to meet someone at “medical school” or “the office,” as Consuelos chimed in and said she could’ve met someone at “church.” “I have a question. Where did you meet your husband? On TV, no?” Tran responded, referring to when the couple met on “All My Children” in the ’90s. “Those are not the same. We were both professional,” Ripa said. “Are you acting on your show? I didn’t marry [Mark’s character] Mateo Santos. I married Mark Consuelos.” Despite the onscreen tension, an insider told Entertainment Weekly that Ripa and Tran engaged in friendly banter, and their conversation was well received. Tran starred on Season 28 of “The Bachelor” with Joey Graziadei, who ultimately got engaged to Kelsey Anderson. New episodes of “The Bachelorette” air Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7904-live-with-kelly-and-mark-general-discussion/page/95/#findComment-8410800

goldenpuppy July 25 Share July 25 As usual Kelly was obnoxious and rude to the Bachelorette contestant but kissed the butt of the Real Housewife trashy woman the next day ! The woman whose husband is in jail and is a total sleaze herself ! In Kelly’s world the PG Bachelor /Bachelorette are so offensive, but women drugging and attacking each other is what she thought was great TV for her and her young daughter when Lola was still a kid at home . 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7904-live-with-kelly-and-mark-general-discussion/page/95/#findComment-8419147
finnzup July 30 Share July 30 (edited) Just have to comment about the interview with Bernadette Peters. I really do enjoy her visits to the show and if memory serves, I believe she was a favorite of Reege's too. Anyway, I thought Kelllmeeee was rude, I don't even know if that's the word, but I found her to be condescending, maybe, when Bernadette was talking about Kelllmeeee's lip tutorial. As Bernadette was trying to explain it, Kellllmeeee kept interrupting her and correcting her (like it's rocket science, lol) and I just found Kelllmeee to be so condescending to her. I felt it took the wind out of Bernadette's story and that she felt a bit uncomfortable. But the best part was when Bernadette said it didn't work for her because she looked like "The Joker." Well, guess what?? So does Kelllmeeee!! I just can't with her lips! And the faces she now makes with pursing those lips, my goodness I would think Lola would tell her how ridiculous she looks. And why doesn't Gelman just pull up a third chair? The way he guffaws at everything Kellllmeee says is just so distracting. And really Gelman, she's not even saying anything remotely funny. And then his commentary on all of the news clippings as though the audience can't understand what they're reading. Very painful and awkward moment today during crap chat when Kel was trying to spit a story about their child that could be "a bit funnier." Holy cow! The dead air was palpable. Finally MARK CONSUELOS!!!!! jumped in and finished her story. He seems to do that on the daily now and I for one am grateful he does.

orangekit August 2 Share August 2 I wonder how long Mark is going to put up with her over the top mocking and exaggerations about him. Joking is one thing , but she sits there with her boney body , shaking her legs with her arms crossed like she’s had 3 triple shot venti coffee from Starbucks and just waits to mock him with either very private or over the top jokes . Do we need to know that Mark asked her how many pairs of underpants he should pack for a trip ? And when she said he was as afraid in 4ft of water when it was 30 ft when subs diving I wondered why she has this need to make him look stupid on national tv. Mark actually said “why are you saying that ?”, as if he was surprised she was saying something to make him look like an idiot . I do think it’s a matter of insecurity and jealously because the audience does respond to Mark much better than they respond to her and he is a natural host, while she still can’t spit out a story , even if she’s reading it from a piece of paper ! So she mocks him . 5 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7904-live-with-kelly-and-mark-general-discussion/page/95/#findComment-8425909

Not only distracting, but so many questions. Why the need to shake? Why the aggressive arm cross? How many other hosts of Live! or any other talk show host display so many mannerisms and oddities? I guess my question is why can't she sit like a normal person? Is it a physical issue for her, is it an emotional/mental issue for her or is it as simple as attempting to upstage her partner? I would love to know the answer but until then.... 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7904-live-with-kelly-and-mark-general-discussion/page/95/#findComment-8426728
NYCRunner August 4 Share August 4 Honestly, I think it all comes down to Kelly not being a nice person. She is really insufferable, Mark is so likable & I think that really bugs her. Please stop with the leg shaking & angry arm cross, it is soooo annoying!! 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7904-live-with-kelly-and-mark-general-discussion/page/95/#findComment-8427448
