Mark Consuelos is always looking out for his kids — even while “high” after an invasive health procedure.

During the Monday, November 17, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, the father-of-three hilariously revealed that he tried to set his and wife Kelly Ripa‘s youngest son, Joaquin, 22, up with the nurse who had been taking care of the Riverdale actor following his recent colonoscopy.

Mark brought up the hilarious moment while encouraging viewers not to put off important medical check-ups during a discussion about “FOFO” — the fear of finding out.

Kelly started off the conversation by admitting FOFO is a “bad” fear to have, especially when it relates to medical tests.

“There are things you can nip in the bud, and instead, you let it get to the place where it’s [beyond repair],” the Hope and Faith actress — who married Mark in 1996 — explained.

Kelly’s comments reminded Mark of a colonoscopy he underwent for the very first time “a couple weeks ago” after putting it off for almost a decade.

“I’m 54 and I hadn’t had one yet, so that’s late,” he confessed of the medical procedure, which is recommended for people to start getting at age 45, according to the Mayo Clinic.

While Mark was avoiding his colonoscopy, he fortunately had a positive experience once going through with the procedure.

The Husband for Hire star joked he tried to “hang on” to consciousness because he “wanted to see what this felt like,” but quickly fell asleep due to anesthesia.

“Afterwards, I remember sitting there, and I remember I didn’t want to say anything silly. I didn’t want to say anything silly in the recovery room, but [I] felt very rested,” he recalled.
