Ripa, Consuelos Leave Historic 7 Lincoln Square Studio

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have bid farewell to the iconic 7 Lincoln Square studio after 37 years as 'Live with Kelly and Mark' moves to Walt Disney Company's new headquarters at 7 Hudson Square. The emotional transition marks the end of an era for the couple, who have a deep sentimental connection to the location where their children grew up and their relationship was rekindled. The studio's historical significance includes hosting various iterations of the show, featuring Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford, and later Ripa with co-hosts Michael Strahan and Ryan Seacrest before Consuelos joined in 2023. During their final episode from the old studio, a monitor fell off the camera, humorously underscoring the need for the move. Despite the nostalgia, the couple embraces the future optimistically, acknowledging the role the studio played in their personal and professional lives. The move is part of a larger trend with other ABC shows relocating to the new state-of-the-art facility.
