FilmMagic Reading Time: 2 minutes
The Live With Kelly and Mark studio is abuzz with excitement as former co host Ryan Seacrest makes a comeback. Although Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are taking a well-deserved summer vacation, Seacrest’s return brings a fresh energy to the show.
Ryan Seacrest Returns To Live in Pre-Recorded Video
On a recent episode, viewers were treated to the first of several pre-taped segments featuring Seacrest. These segments include new host chats, trivia segments, and beloved interview moments that were filmed prior to Seacrest’s official departure. In a clever nod to the recording date, Seacrest even mentioned June 20 at the beginning of the pre-recorded intro.
Throughout the week and the upcoming summer season, Seacrest will continue to appear in these pre-filmed segments. In addition, Ripa’s real-life husband, Consuelos, will step in as cohost alongside guest hosts such as Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Maria Menounos, and many others.
However, fans can anticipate a particularly special episode when Ripa and Consuelos reunite for a Fourth of July celebration. The episode promises an electrifying performance by Jake Shears and an appearance by actress Nina Dobrev, who will engage in Independence Day-themed games with the audience.
Following the holiday special, “Aches and Pains Week” will take center stage from July 17 to 21. This week will feature valuable health and body tips, as well as interviews with notable guests like Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, Simu Liu, Steph Curry, and Kevin and Franklin Jonas.
More to Come From Live With Kelly and Mark
As if that weren’t enough excitement, “Dog Days of Summer Week” will follow from July 24 to 28, focusing on promoting dog adoption. This heartwarming week will showcase adorable canines available for adoption, shedding light on the importance of giving these loyal companions a loving home.
On February 16, they initially announced Seacrest‘s departure from Live, and he aired his final show as a permanent co-host in April. However, his return as an interview subject a month later, where he amusingly crawled across the set on all fours, left Ripa and the audience in stitches.
For fans eager to catch these exciting episodes, Live With Kelly & Mark airs weekdays in syndication. Be sure to check your local listings for showtimes in your area, so you don’t miss a moment of the anticipated summer season.
