Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos both had very strong opinions about a rather unassuming subject matter on Wednesday's episode of Live with Kelly and Mark - and it made for great live TV!
The couple were discussing Girl Scout cookies after it was announced that Girl Scouts were discontinuing two of their popular flavors - Girl Scout S'mores and Toast-Yay after the 2025 cookie season comes to an end.
As Kelly announced the news, Mark was taken aback, telling his wife: "No, no! Do not — if it’s the Samoa, I’m going to walk off set right now."
Mark didn't need to walk off set as his cookie preference is being kept, but Kelly went on to express her surprise about the fan-favorites, admitting they were ones she hadn't even heard of.
After revealing that she recently found out she could buy her favorite cookies online, Kelly turned to her husband and said: "I'll get you some Samoas. I'll get some Peanut Butter Tagalongs and I'll get, um, I'm going to get the…"

"I don’t like them, there I said it! I don’t like—" the Live Wire author continued, as Mark encouraged the audience to boo his wife some more.

In 2024, they won Outstanding Talk Show Host at the Daytime Emmy Awards. The couple often share glimpses into their personal lives at the start of the show too, and aren't afraid to poke fun of themselves. They are also incredibly down-to-earth and relatable.
Kelly and Mark are back at work after a well-deserved break over the holidays, which saw several weeks of pre-recorded Live episodes.
They took their three grown-up children away on vacation, and had a wonderful time together. Kelly opened up about the family's dynamics during the trip at the start of Monday's episode.

She said: "We had all three of our kids at the same time! Which as you know if you are parents of adult children, that is a very rare thing and we were so grateful. They got along and there was no... let's just say BS happening. Sometimes when adult children get together BS starts flying around. But it was a BS free zone."
While Kelly and Mark didn't reveal where they went, it was somewhere very sunny. Mark told viewers that he had got a tan, while Kelly joked that she was paler than before she left due to her fake tan fading.
