Kelly Ripa Shares Big News

Kelly Ripa shared exciting news with fans.  Yippee…!! Just when we thought Kelly Ripa wants to hang her hosting boots, she appears with a bang. This is a good definition of “I’m baaaaackkk…and guess what, I come bearing good tidings” hahaha. Anyways, it seems that Kelly’s absence from Live! With Kelly and Ryan studios was for a good cause as she has recently taken a trip to Los Angeles, well, Kelly had just announced that she landed a brand new role.

Kelly revealed that she would be hosting a brand new game show, a trivia competition titled Generation Gap.

Though the role took her away from her host duties in New York City, she’s not quite hanging up the hosting gig just yet, taking on the familiar role but for an entirely new show, and fans can’t wait to see the results.

Kelly Ripa – What The Show Is About

Kelly gave an exciting preview of the new series, which is set to air on ABC on 7 July. The show has been a long time coming, as it was first planned and ordered three years ago, though it recently only got a slot on the ABC line-up.

Sparking an epic “battle of the ages,” the show is in fact a revival of a similar competition popular in the late 1960s. It’s produced by the host’s production company with her husband, Mark Consuelos, known as Milojo, alongside none other than Jimmy Kimmel’s Kimmelot, as well as MGM Television.

The comedy quiz show groups family members of different generations, making them work together to answer questions about each other’s generations, featuring pop-culture trivia and challenges.

Kelly Ripa – Teasers For The Show

The American actress had in the past shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse, and captioned it, “Generation Gap, that’s a wrap. Thanks for the magic Hollywood,” and telling fans: “Don’t miss it.”

In the picture she shared to announce the news, she looked like the ultimate Hollywood Barbie, sporting an impossibly chic hot pink suit and pants number, which she paired with coordinating sky-high platforms in a similar color.

Fans raved about both the show and her outfit, writing: “Sooo beautiful!!!!!” and: “I’m so excited for this and so proud of you for crushing it as always,” as well as: “Love this look on you!”

Upon sharing the exciting teaser, her husband, and good friend David Muir, supported her new project by leaving a slew of red hearts in her comments section.
