Live with Kelly and Mark

The show keeps making more and more prerecorded shows and host chats. They have been airing prerecorded shows for the last month! How can the show be called Live! I have been watching it for many years and every year they do less and less live shows. They should re title it because it is deceptive to the audience. When Regis and Kathie Lee were on, the show was much more respectful of its audience by airing live shows. When Kelly first started, they continued to do so in the beginning, but as time went, more shows were prerecorded. These last couple of years have been ridiculous. Several times a year, they air prerecorded shows for several weeks! The host chats are usually very brief and they never discuss any newsworthy issues (how can they?)--they stick to general topics to mask the fact that it's all prerecorded. It is frustrating to watch on a daily basis and now, as soon as I realize that the show is prerecorded (they indicate it at the bottom of the screen very quickly during host chat), I turn off the television. Nothing wrong with it but don't call the show Live!

Live with Kelly and Ryan was bad enough before the pandemic but ever since has been a disaster. Since returning to the studio minus a live audience the hosts focus totally on themselves telling endless boring stories, giggling, mugging for the camera, and being supported by their sycophant workers. It is my fault for not breaking the habit of having their show on for the "host chat" each weekday. Could someone tell Ryan they actually make clothing in his size instead of listening to him yammer on about how short his pants are, how tight his shirt, etc. And Kelly, stop playing with your hair!! This show is a prime example of how folks in the entertainment industry have no clue as to what constitutes quality work. Does Gelman really think this show is good? Oh wait, Gelman needs Kelly and Ryan to maintain his own lavish lifestyle. He looks idiotic as he nods along with whatever K&R say.

This is the most annoying show ever. I would rather have a child scream in my ear for an hour. No thanks.

Dear God Kelly Ripa never shuts up. No wonder Michael Strahan left. She has become more unbearable every year. I don't know how Ryan puts up with it, as she constantly interrupts him. The show is 100 times better when Ali Wentworth substitutes as she is funny without total narcissism.

I've watched and attended numerous episodes of "Live" and I think it is better than ever now. Personally, I found Kathie Lee Gifford annoying and I am thrilled with the breath of fresh air that Kelly Ripa brings to the morning. Her rapport with Regis is fantastic to watch and their dynamic is unique. When I can't watch "Live" live, I tape it and start my evening with the talk show pair that have no peer.
