Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos co-hosting criticized for ‘painful fake banter’

The debut episode of Live with Kelly and Mark was met with mixed reactions from viewers, as some criticized the couple’s dynamic and others praised their chemistry. 

 Mark Consuelos recently stepped in as co-host alongside his wife, Kelly Ripa, following Ryan Seacrest’s departure to focus on his other projects.

Some fans felt that the couple’s banter felt forced, while others argued that having a husband and wife duo as co-hosts wasn’t engaging.
