Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos always keep things fun and lighthearted on Live with Kelly and Mark, and Monday’s episode was no exception.
This time, the married co-hosts had a hilarious exchange when Ripa pressed Consuelos about his “man type” after he complimented actor Scott Foley’s looks.
Mark Consuelos Calls Scott Foley “Handsome”
The conversation kicked off when Ripa mentioned that Scott Foley, known for his roles in Scandal and Felicity, would be appearing on the show later in the episode.
Consuelos quickly chimed in, describing the La Dolce Villa star as “very handsome.”
Ripa, never one to miss a playful moment, seized the opportunity to tease her husband.
“So Scott Foley is your man type?” she quipped, clearly enjoying putting him on the spot.
Consuelos hesitated before responding, “Well, I wouldn’t say he’s my man type.”
Ripa, however, wasn’t letting him off the hook so easily. “Well, you said he’s handsome,” she pointed out, pressing further.
As if to confirm Consuelos’ observation, someone offstage chimed in, also agreeing that Foley is, indeed, handsome. But for Ripa, the real question remained unanswered.
Kelly Ripa Tries to Figure Out Mark’s “Man Type”
Determined to get a real answer, Ripa continued her line of questioning.
“No, I know he’s handsome. I’m just saying, like I’m trying to figure out what Mark’s man type is,” she explained to the audience. “Like if you had a man type, you know what I mean?”
Consuelos, seemingly caught off guard by the topic, jokingly dodged the question. “I’ll think about that and get back to you,” he responded, buying himself some time.
Unwilling to let the moment pass, Ripa turned to the Live crew and audience for backup. “You understand what I’m saying, right?” she asked, making sure she wasn’t alone in her curiosity. “I am always interested in what guys think other guys find handsome.”
Scott Foley Weighs In on the Compliment
Though Consuelos thought he had escaped further interrogation, the subject came back up when Foley finally joined the co-hosts on stage.
As Ripa welcomed Foley with a hug, she immediately put him on the spot.
“Did you know Mark thinks you’re handsome?” she asked, wasting no time in looping him into the ongoing debate.
Foley, ever the good sport, played along with the joke. As he hugged Consuelos, he responded, “I think he’s handsome… He out-handsomes me everywhere I go.”
Ripa, delighted by the exchange, kept the fun going. “I don’t know, I just love the fact that now Scott thinks you’re handsome.”
Not wanting to leave a compliment unanswered, Foley doubled down on his admiration for Consuelos, adding that the Live host was indeed “handsome.”
Consuelos, realizing the conversation had officially taken on a life of its own, pointed out that it happened to be Live’s “Love Week,” making the moment even funnier.
Heart-Eyes Emoji Needed!
Ripa, still reveling in the lighthearted fun, suggested that there should be some special effects added to the screen.
“Do you know what we need? The heart-eye emojis coming out of your faces right now,” she joked, picturing a romantic comedy-style visual to match the hilarious exchange.
Foley was all for the idea, responding, “Can we put them on the screen? ‘Cause that’s how I feel whenever I see the two of you guys.”
Ripa, however, wasn’t convinced they’d get their wish, laughing as she said, “I doubt it. Let’s just be happy we’re on the air.”
Kelly and Mark Keep the Banter Going
This is just another example of why Ripa and Consuelos make such a dynamic on-air duo. Their natural chemistry and willingness to poke fun at each other keep viewers entertained, and moments like these are exactly why fans love tuning in.
Whether it’s Ripa grilling Consuelos about his man type or Foley joining in on the fun, Live with Kelly and Mark continues to deliver unscripted, feel-good moments that keep audiences smiling.
