It was a heartfelt day on the set of Live with Kelly and Mark,
as the beloved daytime show recorded its final episode at its longtime
Upper West Side studio before relocating to a new home downtown.
The last episode was recorded in the old studio on April 1.
Kelly Ripa joined the show in 2001 and has remained a constant presence
through various co-host changes, including Michael Strahan and Ryan Seacrest
following Philbin’s departure in 2011. She now shares hosting duties with her husband,
Mark Consuelos, who officially joined the show in April 2023.
Although Consuelos is a more recent addition to the co-host lineup, the couple told PEOPLE that the studio holds deep sentimental value for them, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter.
