Live with Kelly and Mark viewers were met with another Kelly Ripa absence this morning.
This week, Mark Consuelos has been joined by the morning show’s announcer, Deja Vu, and Jane Krakowski at the host desk, with the former taking on both Monday (Aug. 5) and Wednesday’s co-hosting duties. On Tuesday (Aug. 6), Krakowski was at the helm with Consuelos.
While Ripa may not be on Live this week, that doesn’t mean that the show isn’t serving up fresh new content. This morning, Deja and Consuelos chatted with Blake Lively about It Ends With Us, the upcoming film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling romance novel, which hits theaters on Friday (Aug. 9).
