Live with Kelly and Mark is gearing up for a new season, but in the meantime, viewers have been met with some previously recorded installments.
While Monday’s episode (Aug. 26) featured a new interview with Ego Nwodim, fans were treated to the twin special this morning, which originally aired in May and featured a memorable appearance from Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott.
Co-host Kelly Ripa, who was recently honored as a Disney Legend, was also absent for several episodes, during which Mark Consuelos was joined by a lineup of guest hosts, including Live‘s announcer Deja Vu, Jane Krakowski, Maria Menounos and Jenny Mollen.
As the longest-running daytime television talk show in history, Live has won over fans with its warmth and witty on-air banter, which was amplified once Consuelos joined his wife as co-host.
So, why is Live with Kelly and Mark not airing new episodes? When does Live with Kelly and Mark return for a new season? Here’s what we know.
