And so began the question America hasn’t stopped asking:
Was this truly the end… or the first spark of an even more shocking new chapter?

Farewell to an Iconic Studio — and the Start of a New Era

After nearly forty years as the heart of Live, this Times Square studio has been the backdrop to celebrity interviews, spontaneous gossip, family moments, and countless unscripted joys that shaped daytime television. The farewell wasn’t just a closing chapter; it was the end of an era.

The walls that once echoed with the voices of Regis Philbin, Kathie Lee Gifford, Kelly Ripa, and later Mark Consuelos now stand as monuments of television history. Kelly’s voice trembled as she reflected on her long journey since joining the show in 2001.

“This studio is more than a workplace,” she said. “It’s where my family grew up. You can’t replace that.”

Mark, who once entered the building as a guest co-host and later returned as Kelly’s co-anchor and husband, echoed the sentiment:

“You can feel the history here. Being part of this with Kelly has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.”

The Move to Disney’s New Hudson Square Studio

Though emotional, the move marks a major step into the future. Kelly and Mark will soon begin broadcasting from a cutting-edge, 22-story Disney facility in Hudson Square — a massive complex equipped with fresh sets, advanced technology, and new creative opportunities.

Mark spoke proudly of Kelly’s evolution, the milestones they shared with viewers, and the spirit Regis left behind.

Kelly, overwhelmed, reminded everyone:

“It’s not goodbye to the family we built here — just the room we built it in.”

But just when fans thought the farewell had settled, Kelly’s unexpected revelation — held private for years — sent shockwaves across the studio, triggering the very “TV bombshell” that has now become morning-show legend.Kelly Ripa Wishes Happy Birthday to Her 'Finest Man,' Husband Mark Consuelos
