Say ahh! On Thursday’s Live with Kelly and Mark, Kelly Ripa brought up Marie Robinson breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest mouth gap at 2.98 inches, which initially to Ripa, didn’t “sound that big.”

Mark Consuelos replied, “No, that’s big.”

After reading that “some of [Robinson’s] fondest childhood memories were playing with her siblings and putting things like oranges and light bulbs in her mouth just for fun,” Ripa and Consuelos warned of the danger of placing the latter in your mouth. However, Ripa was still hung up on how big the average mouth gap is.

“I’m trying to think of, like, to me, 2.98 inches doesn’t sound that big,” she added.

While Consuelos claimed that is “probably double the size” of the average mouth gap, Live EP Michael Gelman said, “I’d say I have about two inches.”

Ripa immediately asked, “Can we get the tape measure or the ruler out?”

Though Gelman teased that “Kelly would like to” measure her mouth, Ripa insisted that he should measure his own.

“No, no, no. Gelman was the one that just wide-mouthed himself and bragged about his two inches,” she quipped.

After Gelman conceded that “it may only be an inch and a half,” Ripa replied, “Well, don’t sell yourself short, Gelman. It looks like a two-inch mouth to me.”

A little while later, the co-hosts were brought a tape measure, and Consuelos proceeded to measure Gelman’s mouth gap, which came out to 2.25 inches. Gelman then went to return the favor, measuring Consuelos’ mouth gap.

Ripa joked, “You know, in certain societies, you are now engaged.”

Once Gelman measured Consuelos’ mouth gap, he concluded that Consuelos is “bigger,” as he revealed the gap to measure 2.5 inches.

Prior to measuring Ripa’s mouth, Consuelos asked, “It’s probably tooth to tooth, right?”

Gelman replied, “No, I didn’t go tooth to tooth. I went lip to lip.”

Ripa teased, “Well, tooth to tooth is not fair because I have extraordinarily long teeth.”

Consuelos measured his wife and co-host’s mouth gap, which came out to 2.25 inches. While Gelman named Consuelos “the winner,” Ripa explained herself.

“I feel like if I didn’t get botox in my jaw, I could unfurl my jaw like a viper. Like a pit viper,” she claimed, gesturing with her hands and proceeding to make a bizarre noise.

Consuelos quipped, “Like Alien.”

As she continued making the noice, Ripa added, “I don’t know why this is the official sound of my mouth in my head, but it’s, ‘Mehhhhh!'”
