LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Everyone loves seeing their favorite couple Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa on ‘Live with Mark and Kelly.’ The husband-wife duo has a special bond that reflects on their live show, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Although, there are times Mark and Kelly face hurdles and hiccups, the latest segment was no different. Only this time, ‘Live with Mark and Kelly’s producer, Michael Gelman also got involved.

When it comes to talk shows, there is always one producer who has the upper hand. On 'Live with Mark and Kelly,' that upper hand belongs to Gelman. While Gelman spends most of the talk show behind the camera, this time he came out only to take a dig at Kelly. Her husband Mark laughed before ultimately supporting her. He wouldn't want to sleep in the doghouse, would he?

Why did Michael Gelman shade Kelly Ripa?

‘Live with Mark and Kelly’ had a playful mood going on, with Kelly and Mark both looking fresh as ever. There are several segments and games that are often played on this show, and at that moment, Kelly was discussing ‘Live Bee.’ 12-year-old Dev Shah, who had recently won ‘Scripps National Spelling Bee’ would be joining Mark and Kelly for some competition. Kelly says, “He (Shah) comes here and takes us on in live…live bee? Is that what we’re calling it?” To this Gelman with a cheeky smile and mischief on his face responds, “We have concocted a game that you have a chance at winning, yeah!” Gelman nodded his head along as the audience, and Mark, all laugh away at Kelly.

Did Mark Consuelos defend his wife Kelly Ripa?

Mark lets out a heartiest laugh as he leans back on his chair and claps his hands together, looking at Gelman. It doesn’t take Mark to realize that he needs to side with his wife and not Gelman. Mark turns to Kelly and says, “Although you are brilliant, you are smart, you are amazing!” the audience can’t stop laughing at this entire ordeal. More often than not, Kelly helps Mark with his moments and hurdles, and it took Mark long enough to realize that he needs to do the same for his wife. Nevertheless, Gelman gave the audience of ‘Live with Mark and Kelly’ something to laugh about for days to come.
