Live with Kelly and Mark has seen its fair share of guest hosts this week while Kelly Ripa has been out.
Deja Vu, the show’s resident announcer, took on hosting duties for the show’s Monday (Aug. 5) and Wednesday (Aug. 7) episodes, while Jane Krakowski and Maria Menounos tried their hand at co-hosting on Tuesday (Aug. 6) and Thursday (Aug. 8), respectively .
This morning, Jenny Mollen joins Mark Consuelos, where they will get a chance to hear from Michael Urie about his role in the Broadway production of Once Upon A Mattress.
John Stamos, who dropped by Live on Thursday morning’s (Aug. 8) episode, took a moment to rib Consuelos’ buzz cut, even jokingly linking the shave to Ripa’s absence.
“Where’s Kelly? She quit finally because of the haircut?” he quipped.

DECIDER has been keeping close tabs on Ripa all week. A production source let us know that various guest hosts will be filling in for Ripa this week, including Deja Vu, Maria Menounos, and Jenny Mollen.
Her absence comes as Ripa is among 14 honorees being crowned a Disney Legend at this year’s annual D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. The ceremony, taking place this Sunday (Aug. 11), will be hosted by Ripa’s former Live co-host Ryan Seacrest.
Ripa is slated to be back on Monday’s (Aug. 12) episode, where she and Consuelos will speak with Andra Day.
