From Live to law?

After Mark Consuelos debriefed Kelly Ripa and Wednesday’s Live with Kelly and Mark on his night attending Good Night, and Good Luck on Broadway, Ripa told her husband and co-host that she’s “glad [he] had fun last night.”

“I had fun without you,” she teased.

Consuelos replied, “Oh, I’m sure. Let me guess, the Karen Read trial, retrial of the retrial of the coverage.”

After Ripa told Consuelos he was “correct,” Consuelos asked whether she “glean[ed]” anything from tuning in the night before.

“Nothing new,” Ripa shared. “I just literally watched court TV all night.”

Consuelos asked, “What are you going to do when the trial is over in a couple weeks?”

Ripa said, “I’m going to roll into whatever the next trial is that they’re going to serve me.”

However, Consuelos then gave Ripa some food for thought, proposing that she “should go to law school.”

Ripa explained, “You know what I said to myself? I really did miss my calling as a judge, jury, and attorney.”

Consuelos joked, “And I would say executioner, as well.”

While Ripa quipped that she is “both prosecution and defense simultaneously,” Consuelos doubled down on his earlier proposal.

“Maybe that’s what you should do,” he said. “You should get your law degree.”

Ripa asked, “You think?”

Consuelos and a member of the audience insisted that “it’s not too late,” but Ripa still had some other preoccupations.

“Do I want to be the world’s oldest law student? I don’t know,” she added.

Although Consuelos assured her that she “wouldn’t be,” Ripa continued, “And once I fail the Bar Exam, you know, the tabloids in New York would pick it up.”

Consuelos replied, “You won’t fail it. I know you. You’re whip-smart.”

Ripa concluded on a more optimistic note, letting out a breath and telling viewers, “We’ll see.”

“Never say never. Although I say never all the time,” she teased.
