After missing Wednesday’s (Feb. 26) installment of Live with Kelly and Mark, Kelly Ripa was back on Thursday morning’s episode, though was absent from Friday morning’s Pre-Oscars Special.
Mark Consuelos was joined by Live announcer Deja Vu on this morning’s episode, which featured a sit-down with Zero Day star Angela Bassett.
Ripa and Consuelos stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, where they promoted their upcoming After the Oscars Show.
Host Jimmy Kimmel also highlighted a moment from last Wednesday’s (Feb. 26) Live episode that he believed to be “among the great television moments,” in which Ripa caught Consuelos zoning out on the air.
“That actually happens a lot more than you think,” Ripa teased to Kimmel after they played the clip back.
Wondering why Ripa was missing from Live with Kelly and Mark on Friday? Here is what we know.
Why is Kelly Ripa missing from Live this morning?
Consuelos did not specify where Ripa was, though Friday’s episode was previously recorded. Being that Ripa and Consuelos were guests on Thursday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which shoots in Hollywood, the two are likely there getting ready for their upcoming After The Oscars Show.
DECIDER reached out to Live for more information.
When will Kelly Ripa return to Live?
Ripa will be back alongside Consuelos on Monday morning’s After The Oscars Show, which will air live from the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
