Where is Mark Consuelos Today? Déjà Vu Takes Over as Co-Host on ‘Live with Kelly and Mark’

The buzz surrounding Live with Kelly and Mark reached new heights this morning when a familiar yet unexpected face filled in for Mark Consuelos as co-host—none other than Live announcer Déjà Vu. While Consuelos is usually by Kelly Ripa’s side on the daytime talk show, today, it was Déjà who took the spotlight, stepping in for the absent husband of Ripa, delivering a refreshing and playful vibe that kept the energy high.

Déjà, who has filled in for Consuelos before, stepped up to the challenge on Thursday’s episode, which was pre-recorded in front of a live studio audience. In a delightful twist, Déjà also did her usual job of announcing the dynamic duo ahead of their entrance. As Ripa greeted her co-host in the studio, she couldn’t help but share a funny backstage moment. “I loved hearing you announce us,” she said with a smile, recalling how she asked Déjà backstage, “But if you’re here, who’s going to announce us?” To which Déjà cleverly responded, “Maybe it’s going to be me.”

The humor didn’t stop there. Déjà, ever the professional, teased that she was “doing double duty” and jokingly requested “double the money” from Live’s executive producer, Michael Gelman. Ripa was quick to agree, adding, “Yes! That’s an excellent point, Déjà.” The chemistry between Ripa and Déjà was undeniable, with the two sharing moments of light-hearted banter that had viewers smiling.

But the question on everyone’s mind remained: Where was Mark Consuelos? Ripa, with a knowing smile, explained that her husband and co-host had been “traveling like crazy,” leaving fans wondering about the busy schedule of the star who usually fills the other chair. Ripa didn’t elaborate on the specifics of Consuelos’ whereabouts, adding just enough intrigue to keep fans guessing. One thing was clear: his absence didn’t dampen the fun, as Déjà’s infectious personality more than made up for the missing co-host.

This wasn’t the first time Consuelos was absent from the show. On Monday, November 3, Steve Patterson stepped in, co-hosting with Ripa. However, Consuelos returned for Tuesday and Wednesday’s episodes, only to be replaced again on Thursday. The excitement didn’t stop with the co-hosting shuffle—today’s episode also featured two incredibly talented guests: All’s Fair star Teyana Taylor and The Beast in Me star Brittany Snow. Both actresses sat down with Ripa and Déjà for a lively conversation, ensuring that the audience was entertained throughout.

As Live with Kelly and Mark continues to captivate its audience every weekday, fans are left eagerly awaiting Consuelos’ return. Will he be back next week? Or will Déjà make another unexpected appearance? Either way, the show continues to be filled with unexpected moments, lively personalities, and unforgettable chemistry that keep viewers coming back for more.

For those who missed today’s episode, Live with Kelly and Mark airs weekdays, and fans can check out the website for their local listings. Meanwhile, All’s Fair is streaming on Hulu, with the debut of The Beast in Me on Netflix scheduled for Thursday, November 13. Stay tuned for more fun, surprises, and, of course, the dynamic duo (and perhaps even Déjà) keeping fans entertained.

As we await Mark Consuelos’ return, one thing’s for sure: Live with Kelly and Mark is never short on surprises.
