Live! with Kelly and Mark airs live on weekday mornings, meaning viewers historically couldn't catch up if they missed an episode. Now, that is all about to change.
The hosts announced that LIVE! episodes will drop on Hulu the day after they air. The platform will also feature a rolling archive of episodes from the past few weeks, allowing fans to stream the show whenever they want.
"This is very exciting," Mark Consuelos said to the audience. "If you missed seeing LIVE! live when we aired originally, or you missed the late night, because they do a late night broadcast of this show, did you know that?" Kelly Ripa added. "If you missed them both, you can now stream episodes of our show on Hulu the next day!"

We don't have cable and a VCR anymore so sometimes it's a struggle to watch. Now I can catch up through Hulu!," penned one fan on Instagram. THANK YOU HULU," added another user. "I'm so happy for this," wrote a third follower.

Mark – who shares kids Michael, Lola, and Joaquin, with his wife – joined LIVE! officially in 2023 following Ryan's departure. Ryan left the show due to the demands of traveling back and forth between his home in Los Angeles and the studio in New York, as well as his desire to focus on other projects.

"They have the same relationship on-and-off the air, and that's part of the magic, so you see their interaction every day, just like a live married couple."
However, the couple were initially hesitant about hosting the show alongside one another. "It was really about convincing Mark," Kelly revealed on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. "Because initially when they came to Mark, he flat out refused."
"I also thought that was kind of a bad idea," she shared. "I was like, a husband and a wife hosting a morning show is different from a husband and wife acting together or producing something together."

Back in February, Kelly celebrated 25 years at the helm of LIVE! Kelly took over for Kathie Lee Gifford as Regis Philbin's cohost in 2001 and has remained on the show ever since. Following Regis' exit in 2011, she was joined by Michael Strahan from 2012 to 2016 and Ryan Seacrest from 2017 to 2023.
Kelly and Mark tied the knot in 1996, when they eloped in Las Vegas a year after meeting on the set of the soap opera All My Children. Away from the spotlight, the couple reside in a $27 million townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Kelly and Mark purchased the lavish abode 12 years ago and transformed it into a modern living space with notes of French and Old Hollywood glamor inspired by the film Mommie Dearest.
