Retirement From The Live Kelly Ripa Show
2023 brings plenty of speculation and news about the host of the ABC talk show retiring. She mentioned it first, in a joking way. However given her many absences from the show, people took her seriously. Later, Mark spoke about it as well. And, he revealed it’s on her mind. However, she’s unlikely to leave in the very near future. And yet, the subject of retirement just won’t go away. It keeps resurrecting.
Kelly Ripa recently chatted with Ryan Seacrest on her Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast. Although he stuck with American Idol and took on Wheel of Fortune, he was able to find some time for a nice long vacation this summer. Clearly, he loves not being so tied in with the talk show. When asked if he plans on retiring soon, he threw the question back at the former actress. She claimed, “I’m so close [to retirement].”
@KellyRipa So now you’re going to have your conceited husband sitting by your side looking at himself in the monitor the entire freaking hour? Come on,time for you to retire!And that voice of yours!!!
