The 2025-2026 season, Season 38, has already proven that the “essence” of Live—the morning host chat—remains its greatest strength, even as the world around it changes. From hosting the “After the Oscars” show at the Dolby Theatre to navigating NYC winter storms that forced “audience-free” broadcasts, the couple’s adaptability has solidified their status as daytime icons. Ripa’s willingness to “revamp” and “reimagine” isn’t just about ratings; it’s a testament to her staying power. By inviting fans into their lives through both the new Hudson Square studio and innovative projects like their scripted podcast Summer Breeze, Ripa and Consuelos are ensuring that their professional and personal legacy remains as “exciting, relevant, and authentic” as the day they first met on the set of All My Children.
