Broad City had it so right when they called Kelly Ripa “America’s Sweetheart” back in 2015.
Every morning, I look forward to whatever shenanigans Ripa and co-host Mark Consuelos will be getting up to on Live with Kelly & Mark, and today’s episode did not disappoint.
After a hilarious sit down with actor Matthew Rhys, as well as a heartwarming conversation with actress and singer Chrissy Metz, Ripa and Consuelos turned their attention to Monica Mangin for the Shopping Day @ Live Segment.
In the segment, Mangin goes through an assortment of cool new products on display that are aimed towards making viewers’ lives easier, healthier, and better. Included in the lineup today was a hair crimping accessory, an affordable serum, and an electric floss picker.
But it was a Copper Compression Glove that really caught Ripa’s eye.
The technology, which comes not only in the form of a glove but also a knee wrap and a headset that looks suspiciously like VR, is meant to address pain relief for aching, stiff joints.
Ripa seemed to take to the glove right away, noticeably more than the other products on display. Some might even say Ripa was gagged by the glove!
After putting on the warming, vibrating setting, Ripa looked like she was in straight up Paradise, instead of the freezing temporary studio they’re shooting from in downtown New York.
“This is the happiest I’ve been in a long time,” she said as she took the glove for a spin. “It’s vibrating, it’s warming, it’s all of the things that we as women enjoy!”

And when Monica said that the product was 50% off? “AMAZING!” Ripa exclaimed.
Ripa loved the glove so much, she wore it for the rest of the episode. At the end of the taping, when Consuelos let fans know how they can enter their mother in a Mother’s Day Makeover contest, Ripa piped up: “And if you can’t do that, get her one of these gloves!”
