This week marks a fairly noteworthy shake-up in the world of morning talk shows, as Ryan Seacrest previously bid an official farewell to his Live stomping grounds opposite Kelly Ripa. Rather than falling into the usual hiatus that comes with major changes like that, she’s jumping right back in the hot seat without missing a beat, with hubby Mark Consuelos having previously been confirmed to take over as the newest co-host. And while she’s no doubt excited to spend more TV time with her significant other, who’d already taken on guest-host duties a time or two, Ripa doesn’t shy away from confirming she’s always in the retirement mindset these days.
