Mark Consuelos Keeps His Chin Up After First Show As Kelly Ripa's Co-Host Falls Flat

Mark Consuelos is not going to let a few negative comments ruin his first day on “Live with Kelly and Mark.” After his debut, he told Us Weekly, “This show today truly felt like home. I always feel at home with Kelly but [working] together this morning just felt so right.” Consuelos shared that he and Ripa always felt at ease when together, adding, “I can’t wait to see where we can go from here.” His former “All My Children” co-star had only praises for Consuelos. “Mark did amazing! Better than I even thought. I look forward to a long TV partnership with him. He’s a natural and I have a good feeling this is going to be great for a while.”

Viewers weren’t digging Consuelos’ second day, either. “Gosh I don’t know with them together, I am not a fan. Loved Ryan and all his stories, he brought another layer to the show. Kelly and Mark look uncomfortable together, it’s hard to watch. Mark as a fill in cohost was fun to watch. This isn’t fun to watch anymore. Need Ryan back,” a viewer tweeted. “So I’m sorry but this won’t work. It’s like a morning reality show with a washed up couple,” another mused. Still, it wasn’t all negative feedback, and one fan tweeted, “I LOVE them together!! I want to know the secret to their beautiful marriage and family.”
