Kelly Ripa And Mark Consuelos Issue Rare Political Comments On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Return

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are speaking out on Jimmy Kimmel’s latest broadcast. On Sept. 24, the couple and co-hosts, who rarely discuss politics, addressed the comedian’s return to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” hours after the show came back following its suspension. “Jimmy Kimmel returned to his show last night. And you know, listen — we know him personally and when I tell you he’s one of the kindest, most generous people that I know. Cares about his family, takes care of his crew, his staff, everybody. He really, really cares,” Consuelos said during Wednesday morning’s “Live with Kelly and Mark.” Ripa agreed, adding that Kimmel was “responsible” with his monologue.
