Kelly Ripa admits that her husband and co-host Mark Consuelos is a “brilliant mimic,” but hasn’t yet mastered one particular impersonation.
On this morning’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa claimed that he “can imitate everyone and anyone instantly” … except for her.
Consuelos conceded that he does “an exaggerated version” of his wife, which he has even demonstrated on the show once before. However, Ripa explained that “he’s been trying to imitate [her] backstage.”
“And I keep looking at him saying, ‘Who’s that supposed to be?’” she exclaimed.
Consuelos attempted to justify his impersonations.
“Cause you do a thing back there and I’m just trying to do what you do,” he said.
When Ripa asked what it is that she does that warrants such an impersonation, Consuelos noted that she “pace[s] back and forth.”
Ripa interjected, “It’s not pacing! It’s walking over and having a conversation with somebody.”
Consuelos said his impersonations come from a place of “love,” but Ripa rejected his excuse as she proceeded to stand up and impersonate his own impersonation of her.
