The Morning Show's Temporary Home: A Cafeteria Adventure
Hudson Square, New York City, USAThu Apr 03 2025
The morning show "Live with Kelly and Mark" is shifting to a new location, but not quite yet. The co-hosts, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, are moving to ABC and Disney's new Hudson Square headquarters. The new studio won't be ready until April 14. So, they will be broadcasting from a temporary spot near the cafeteria. This is not a typical setup, but it's happening. The temporary space is described as a "gorgeous open sprawling space near the cafeteria. "It sounds nice, but it's still a cafeteria. Disney has used this space before for movie premieres and events. It's not a permanent solution, but it will do for now.
The show taped its final episode from the old studio at 7 Lincoln Square on Tuesday. This studio had been home to the show for 37 years. Ripa joined the show in 2001 as co-host to Regis Philbin. She has seen a lot of changes over the years. The old studio is now somewhat run-down, but it holds a lot of memories. The move to the new headquarters is a big change. The couple and their crew are joining other ABC News and ABC/Disney shows like "The View" and "Tamron Hall. "Everyone is excited about the new space, but it's going to take some time to get used to.
The show aired a rerun from November on Wednesday after the big move. They will be back to live shows starting Monday. The temporary setup might seem unusual, but it's a chance for the show to adapt and grow. It's also an opportunity for the crew to bond and create new memories in a new space. The guests for next week's shows include some big names. Elizabeth Moss, Jay Shetty, Bradley Whitford, Walton Goggins, Tracee Ellis Ross, Yvonne Strahovski, Matthew Rhys, Chrissy Metz, Bryce Dallas Howard and Hailee Steinfeld are all scheduled to appear. It's going to be an exciting week for the show.
