Big Apple to LA: A Temporary Move for Live with Kelly and Mark
Hold onto your hats, folks! Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are packing their bags and heading to the City of Angels for a short but exciting stint. No need to panic, though—it’s just a temporary move. The beloved co-hosts of Live With Kelly and Mark are jetting off to Los Angeles ahead of the Academy Awards in March. Right after the glittering ceremony, Kelly, 53, and Mark, 52, will step onto the Dolby Theatre stage for a special episode of their show, bringing all the glamour and excitement straight to your living rooms.
Why LA? It’s All About the Oscars
This isn’t just any regular episode. The broadcast will feature unforgettable moments from the night’s biggest winners, captured fresh off the stage mere hours before. According to the press release, it’s going to be a spectacle you won’t want to miss. Think of it as a front-row seat to the magic of Hollywood, right from the iconic Dolby Theatre. But that’s not all—this special episode will also include musical performances and fashion panels, all in front of a live audience. It’s like a dream come true for fans of both the Oscars and the show.
A Change of Scenery
For Kelly and Mark, this trip means more than just a change of location. It’s a chance to step out of their usual New York City studio and into the heart of the entertainment industry. In a playful moment on an episode of Live on January 26, Kelly joked with her husband, “You could be sitting in Ryan Gosling’s seat,” to which Mark quipped, “Yeah, or Emma Stone.” Ryan, 43, earned a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role as Ken in Barbie, while Emma, 35, scored a Best Actress nod for her role as Bella Baxter in Poor Things. With eleven nominations for Poor Things, Emma expressed her gratitude, saying, “It feels like a surreal dream. I’m beyond grateful to the Academy for recognizing both my work as an actress and producer.”

Adding to the fun, Kelly joked during the segment, “You can sit in the chair, and then afterwards, you can take the chair with you.” It’s this kind of humor and charm that makes their show so popular. After the Oscars episode, Kelly and Mark will head back to their NYC studio, where they live in a stunning penthouse just a stone's throw from work.
A Word of Warning From Kelly
While they’re thrilled about the trip, Kelly gave Mark a little warning about what to expect at the Oscars. “They’re Academy Award winners, they tell you anything that you didn’t even ask,” she said with a laugh. “You’re gonna get invited to more things, you’re gonna be asked to star in more movies than ever. They don’t mean it. They just blather nonsense because they’ve just won an Academy Award. So they tell you all kinds of crazy stuff that’s not true, that they don’t mean! But it really is like a psychological study.”
