Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos faced an awkward moment during Monday’s episode of their talk show after comedian Howie Mandel reacted strongly to a comment about his age. The 70-year-old guest, who celebrated his birthday in November, appeared upset when the hosts mentioned his age. Kelly Ripa initially said, “It doesn’t make any sense,” prompting Mandel to respond, “What do you mean it doesn’t make any sense? That I look great?” Ripa clarified, “We’re not saying you look great for 70. We’re saying you look great, and I don’t believe you’re 70.” Mandel countered by comparing the situation to saying someone is smart for being a “stupid person,” adding, “Oh, you seem smart, you seem smart, you see, no, I don’t look good.” The tension eased as Mandel explained how he maintains his youthful appearance, crediting his fitness regimen and diet. Mandel revealed he follows an intense workout routine introduced by his friend Jerry O’Connell, which includes swimming with cables tied to his ankles and using frying pan paddles. He joked about getting “so lost in it” during his hour-long sessions. Despite his active lifestyle, Mandel admitted to a weakness for chocolate but emphasized his commitment to health, stating, “I eat healthy, just by virtue of what I like. I love vegetables. I love fruit.” He also highlighted running as his favorite form of exercise, noting he has run up to 15 miles in a day and often runs without music or TV, calling it his “meditation” and “distraction.” The hosts, known for addressing personal relationship issues on-air, shared how they use their show to navigate marital challenges. Kelly Ripa mentioned waiting for the show to discuss sensitive topics, saying, “That way, I have safety in numbers. I’m in a safe space.#howie_mandel #mark_consuelos #kelly_ripa #jerry_ocker #all_my_children
