Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos Leaving Live With Kelly and Mark Studio After 37 Years
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are making do with a makeshift studio.
After the Live hosts moved out of their Upper West Side studio—where the show had taped for 37 years with prior hosts Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford—they are filming in a temporary space until they relocate into their studio at Disney’s headquarters in Lower Manhattan.
“Live with Kelly and Mark from the Great Hall at 7 Hudson Square,” ABC7’s Eyewitness News anchor Pedro Rivera shared in a post on X April 7. “Pretty impressive set up!”
In an attached photo, the show is shown running out of a building’s cafeteria space with the filming area in front of a grand window showing off part of Manhattan’s skyline. Camera operators are dispersed throughout the space, with a makeshift control room placed behind rows of plastic chairs.
