After weeks of anticipation, the results from “the most consequential election” of our times are in: Mark Consuelos has been crowned People‘s Sexiest TV Host!

Kelly Ripa had the honor of bestowing the special title on her husband and co-host on Live with Kelly and Mark on Tuesday. She made the reveal after announcing the results of some other readers’ polls, among them “sexiest new heartthrob” (Jacob Elordi), “sexiest dog dad” (Max Greenfield), “who makes ‘brat’ look sexiest” (Joe Jonas), and “sexiest tattoos” (Jeremy Allen White).

“If you recall, let me just say it again, Mark Consuelos and Jimmy Fallon locked in a dirty tactics campaign,” she deadpanned.

After Consuelos deemed the competition “the most important election of our time,” Ripa iterated that it was “the most consequential.”

“This election will most certainly change the life of one person,” she quipped. “The sexiest TV host alive is — this is addressed to you — Mark! Mark Consuelos!”

Ripa proceeded to pull out a gold trophy adorned with a mirror on top, a medal, and a t-shirt that read, “I won Sexiest TV Host & all I got was this t-shirt.”

The crowd erupted into a “speech” chant, urging Consuelos to share some inspiring words. He thanked his fellow nominees, including Fallon, Seth Meyers and Mario Lopez.

“Especially Jimmy Fallon,” he added, “for putting that QR code on his television program.”

Consuelos insisted that the competition was likely “very close,” and shared that he himself voted for The Tonight Show host. He thought his family did so, too, but teased that “America has spoken.”

“And truly, the only time I feel sexy is when I’m with you,” he told Ripa, who quickly dismissed his romantic remark as “a bunch of BS.”

Despite the new title, Consuelos claimed he feels “exactly the same.”

“Once you become a dad, you don’t really… you see yourself through your kids’ eyes, and that’s when the sexiness goes away,” he explained.

Ripa replied, “But now that the kids are grown? And their friends are like, ‘Your dad is so hot.'”

After Consuelos said that their kids “would never tell [him] something like that,” Ripa revealed, “Oh, well they tell me.”

“They think it’s really gross,” she continued. “They think it’s disgusting.”

Consuelos agreed, “They should think it’s gross.”
