Live With Kelly and Mark's big premiere was a family affair.
As Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos began a brand-new chapter of the daytime talk show, the couple had the support of a familiar face.
In the opening segment of the April 17 episode, the camera panned to the audience where Mark and Kelly's daughter Lola Consuelos, 21, was sitting in the front row. And not only was she a proud supporter, but Lola also became a topic of conversation when psychic Char Margolis returned to the show as a guest.
During her segment, Char was reminded of an episode from more than two decades ago when she correctly predicted Kelly—who also shares Michael, 25, and Joaquin, 20, with Mark—would be expecting another baby, that would be named Lola.
The episode, which saw Mark take up the position of permanent co-host, comes just days after Ryan Seacrest said goodbye to the talk show after six years. After delivering an emotional farewell April 14, the On-Air With Ryan Seacrest host was quick to wish Mark the best of luck before his first show.
"Your mornings are in good hands, and even better hair," Ryan wrote on Instagram April 17. "Good luck, @instasuelos. Wishing you a great first day."
So, how did Mark's first day go? The Riverdale star quickly praised his wife for her talents in front of the camera.
"This is my favorite hour or television every morning, I swear," Mark said. "I'm so proud, and it's just a privilege to be here with you."
And yes, the 52-year-old quickly realized both him and his wife have come a long way since their soap opera days.
"Thank you for trusting me to be your co-host," he shared with his wife before poking fun at their All My Children characters. "Thank you America, thank you—Hayley and Mateo forever."
