Kelly Ripa and Family Share Spontaneous McDonald's Mother's Day Dinner Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, surprised their family and fans by celebrating Mother’s Day with a McDonald’s meal, an unusual choice for the talk show host. The impromptu dinner, shared during the May 11 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, highlighted the couple’s lighthearted dynamic and their family’s rare decision to break from tradition. Ripa revealed that her youngest son, Joaquin, had suggested the idea while backstage at his Broadway show, Death of a Salesman. Joaquin’s text to Ripa, which she described as “the funniest text,” humorously proposed McDonald’s as a Mother’s Day celebration. Though initially confused, Ripa eventually agreed, leading to the family’s unexpected fast-food feast. “This is so unlike us, it hasn’t happened in years and years,” Ripa said, emphasizing how rare the occasion was. Consuelos confirmed the meal, joking about the size of the Quarter Pounder and the Big Mac, which he and Ripa both noted seemed smaller than usual. “Maybe we’re just bigger now,” Consuelos quipped, to which Ripa replied, “Maybe we’re bigger and it used to seem bigger.” The couple’s playful banter extended to their cleanup efforts. Ripa mimicked the act of discarding a single item, declaring, “Trash! Done!” while Consuelos humorously questioned why plates were set out for the meal. Ripa explained she had wanted to make the occasion feel special, only to quickly return the dishes to their place. Ripa also shared her long-standing aversion to Egg McMuffins, a detail she tied to her husband’s preference for eggs. Consuelos mentioned a study suggesting that eating eggs five times weekly could reduce Alzheimer’s risk by 27%, prompting Ripa to joke about her husband hiding eggs in her food.#mark_consuelos #kelly_ripa #live_with_kelly_and_mark #joaquin_ripa #death_of_a_salesman
Howie Mandel reveals his 'ridiculous' workout routine perfect for his 70's Canadian comedian, actor, and producer Howie Mandel shared his fitness regimen during an appearance on the Monday episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, crediting a specific aerobic exercise for helping him maintain his physique at 70. The hosts, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, initially expressed surprise at his age, with Ripa joking that Mandel looked “great” for his age. Mandel humorously dismissed the compliment, comparing it to calling someone “smart for being a stupid person,” before eventually admitting he felt “gorgeous.” The conversation shifted to Mandel’s workout routine when Consuelos asked about his health habits. Mandel revealed that TV host Jerry O’Connell had introduced him to an unconventional exercise routine involving swimming. He described using swimming cables tied to his ankles and attaching them to the pool’s sides, along with frying pan paddles, which he claimed made the activity “ridiculous.” Mandel admitted he often “gets so lost in it” during the hour-long sessions. Mandel emphasized that he maintains his workouts regardless of location, even in hotel rooms. He mentioned tying ropes to the poolside and keeping children away from the area, noting that parents sometimes intervene to prevent accidents. He also shared that he swims in the morning as part of his routine. The segment highlighted Mandel’s lighthearted approach to fitness while underscoring his dedication to staying active despite his age.#howie_mandel #mark_consuelos #kelly_ripa #jerry_ocker #live_with_kelly_and_mark
