The grind doesn't stop for Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos!

Just hours after spending their night backstage at the Oscars, covering the red carpet and speaking with winners such as Adrien Brody and Zoe Saldaña, the LIVE With Kelly & Mark hosts were back at it bright and early.

This time, they were broadcasting their show from the very Dolby Theatre the Oscars were held at just a few hours before, and the All My Children alum was clad in yet another stunning gown for her 6am call time.

For the Oscars themselves, Kelly wore a deep peach hued toga-like dress with a fitted bodice and flowing pleats, plus she had her signature blonde hair styled into a crimped ponytail.

Then for LIVE's after Oscars show, she basically outshined herself, wearing a dazzling midnight blue strapless gown that highlighted her ultra-toned arms.

During the program, Kelly and Mark featured conversations with comedian Nikki Glazer, who hosted the Golden Globes, Oscars host Conan O'Brien, Whoopi Goldberg, Scarlett Johansson, as well as the cast and crew of Anora, which had sweeping wins.

And though Kelly and her fashion were definitely one of the highlights, in Conan's eyes, Mark was just as deserving of compliments.

During their conversation, the comedian couldn't help but gush: "You are distractingly handsome, [Kelly] you're very beautiful but I don't get much time in person with you [Mark]."

He also shared that he "never" misses an episode of LIVE, which Kelly was quick to call out as "bull [expletive]," but Conan maintained: "I can tell that so much thought goes into the timing of every single thing, and that's the people that you have around you."

"The fact that you just said that lets us know that you have never seen a single episode!" Kelly then remarked.
