In an unexpected twist, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, the beloved co-hosts of "Live with Kelly and Mark," are set to film their upcoming episodes from a unique location: the cafeteria of Disney's flashy new Hudson Square headquarters. The couple's highly anticipated move to this state-of-the-art facility has hit a minor snag, delaying their debut in the new studio until April 14.

An insider revealed to Page Six, “They’re basically going to be doing it from the cafeteria lobby… because they don’t have a studio yet.” However, this temporary set-up is not without its charm. Another source described the cafeteria area as a “gorgeous open sprawling space,” filled with possibilities, which offers a distinct backdrop for their morning show.

As they finalize preparations for their new state-of-the-art studio, the excitement is palpable. “It’s amazing!” the insider exclaimed, emphasizing that everyone is thrilled to be part of the Disney entertainment family. The cafeteria has previously been the site for various high-profile movie premieres and events, adding a touch of star-studded glamour to their broadcasts.

Production sources confirmed that they will broadcast live from this vibrant 10th-floor location next week while completing the studio's final touches. The transition comes after Ripa and Consuelos recorded their last show at the iconic 7 Lincoln Square studio, a space that had been their home for an impressive 37 years. The farewell was described as "bittersweet," especially for Ripa, who has fond memories of raising her children in such a celebrated venue.

In the meantime, fans can expect a rerun from November to air after their big transition, but not for long! Kelly and Mark are set to return to live programming starting Monday, showcasing their signature blend of wit, warmth, and engaging interviews.

When they resume, viewers can look forward to an exciting lineup of guests including Elisabeth Moss, motivational speaker Jay Shetty, actors Bradley Whitford, Walton Goggins, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Yvonne Strahovski, along with Matthew Rhys, Chrissy Metz, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Hailee Steinfeld.

The buzz around the studio switch is undeniable, as Ripa, Consuelos, and their production team join forces with iconic ABC shows like “The View” and “Tamron Hall.” The atmosphere is electric with anticipation for what this new chapter will bring to the beloved morning show format. Stay tuned as they prepare to launch their exciting new set!
