KELLY RIPA AND Mark Consuelos are co-hosting LIVE now that Ryan Seacrest has stepped away from the show, and they’ve gotten some backlash from people who simply don’t vibe with their on-screen banter.

If it’s not so great, we’ll try better next time. And that’s been my approach. Just kind of be in the moment.”
