Ryan Seacrest has signed off as co-host of 'Live!' Here, he joins incoming co-host Mark Consuelos to celebrate Kelly Ripa's 22-year daytime legacy.
Ripa and Consuelos’ two adult sons and daughter have grown up in front of America. They’ve also grown up with Seacrest, who Ripa jokes is known as “Uncle Cool” in their household.
“As I thought about what I was going to leave behind, she was a huge a major driver and force in that decision for me,” Seacrest tells, recalling his conversations to join the syndicated talk show back in 2017. “There are so many remarkable things about her,” Seacrest says, calling Ripa “one of the greatest broadcasters of all time.”
Over the years, Consuelos has guest-hosted “Live” around 100 times. The audience knows him, and they feel a unique relationship to him and his wife that is only possible with the connection of daytime television. The format of “Live!” lends itself to discussing mundane activities, perfect for an actual husband-and-wife duo.

With Regis and Kelly” in 2001.Consuelos says his wife hasn’t given him too much advice yet, but in the past, he’s always felt supported on-set together. “One of the things I will miss the most is our walk down the hallway before the microphones are on, and the hilarity that ensues and the laughter that we have,” Seacrest says. “Sometimes I have to catch my breath as we turn the corner and go out because it’s so genuine and raw. And I’ll miss that moment we look at each other we know we’ve got each other’s backs when we go on the air. There’s no worry with each other.
