When Will Mark Consuelos Replace Ryan Seacrest on ‘Live’? Here’s What We Know

Seacrest also discussed his “bittersweet” departure and revealed that he’s excited for what’s to come. “We have such a great relationship and friendship and working relationship,” he said. “And Mark is going to take over, and he and I have the same kind of relationship, and it’s going to be an exciting last few weeks. I’m not done yet!”

Ripa jokingly added, “We keep saying nothing will really change between the three of us. It’s just Ryan will get to have his coffee later.”

Last month, Seacrest announced that he’s leaving Live with Kelly & Ryan after six successful seasons. “Working alongside Kelly over the past six years has been a dream job and one of the highlights of my career,” he said. “She has been an amazing partner, friend, and confidant, and although we will always be a part of each other’s lives, I will miss our mornings together.”

Shortly after, Consuelos confirmed that he’s replacing the American Idol personality to co-host the talk show alongside his wife. At the time, they didn’t mention a time frame for the switcheroo.

Let the countdown to April 17 begin.
