While most daytime talk shows take the summer off and air reruns every weekday, “Live with Kelly and Mark” has chosen to give their fans something special now that school’s out and the sun is shining in much of the country. Featuring never-before-seen content, fantastic theme weeks and special guest co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos will keep viewers entertained all season long.
On select days, while the “Live” family is on summer vacation, fans will see a familiar face on screen as the talk show airs never-before-seen host chat and trivia segments featuring Kelly and beloved “Live” family member Ryan Seacrest, along with some of their best celebrity interviews and fun moments from the past year. Meanwhile, select episodes will see Mark welcoming special guest co-hosts, including Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Maria Menounos and more.
