Everyone is celebrating the winners of the Daytime Emmys, most especially duo hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, who just won Outstanding Daytime Talk Series for Live With Kelly and Mark (via TV Insider).
They were also nominated for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host, but this year, the honor was received by Drew Barrymore. Nonetheless, a win is a win!
But wait, there’s more reason to open that champagne bottle because Ripa and Consuelos just made a winning streak—they are the first married couple to ever achieve two consecutive victories after winning Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host last year!
Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos’ 2024 Daytime Emmy Speech Is Why Their Tandem Works
Ripa and Consuelos proved that two is better than one—and fans can see it in their chemistry onscreen. Not all married couples can work in the same show together, but they made it happen. Last year, when they snagged the Daytime Emmy win, they weren’t there to receive their award. Still, they gave a late acceptance speech.
On Live With Kelly and Mark, the couple showed viewers their trophies and gave their own messages. Ripa expressed her gratitude and said:
We weren’t there to give our speech, but I’m going to give a brief acceptance speech. I just want to say, first and foremost, thank you, Mark, for being an incredible, incredible partner. You make it look easy, and it is not easy, and the ease at which you do this job inspires me and all of us every single day.
Consuelos also gave a short yet profound speech:
I would have said, my dad always told me to marry somebody who’s better than you, and try to work with people who are way better than you as well. So I’ve done both those things. So thank you. Thank you for holding me up. I appreciate it.
It’s evident that their relationship dynamics at work flow seamlessly. Fans can see it in how they interact with each other, knowing when to get serious and when to laugh things off. There’s no doubt their talk show bagged the prize this year, and who knows? Maybe they’ll hold that record for the years to come!
Hosts Reveal The Secret Behind Success of ‘Live With Kelly and Mark’
What most fans don’t know about Ripa and Consuelos’ married life is that they aren’t together most of the time. Yes, they work together on screen, but when the cameras stop rolling, they pursue separate lives and engage in their own hobbies and creative endeavors.
Despite having dissimilar interests, what makes their bond strong is their trust in each other. The couple revealed on ESPN’s docuseries Running with the Wolves (via E! News):
No matter what the project is, one of us goes in headfirst, and the other one supports.
Live With Kelly and Mark is a testament to the couple’s hard work. The show has been lauded by fans and critics for its playfulness and energy when it comes to morning talk, and having hosts who trust and support one another radiates positivity on screen. Now, Ripa and Consuelos are reaping the fruits of their labor!
