After more than 35 years, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos say goodbye to the live studio

On the set of Live with Kelly and Mark, the cherished afternoon program taped its last episode at its long-standing Upper West Side studio before moving to a new location downtown, and it was a touching day. On April 1, the final episode was filmed in the former studio.

The show’s iconic background for 37 years was 7 Lincoln Square, which is situated at the intersection of 67th Street and Columbus Avenue. Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford were the first of many adored hosts to call it home throughout the years.

Since joining the program in 2001, Kelly Ripa has stayed consistent despite several co-host changes, including Michael Strahan and Ryan Seacrest after Philbin left in 2011. She and her husband, Mark Consuelos, who joined the show in April 2023, now share hosting responsibilities.

The couple told PEOPLE that the studio has great sentimental significance for them, signaling the end of an era and the start of a new one, despite Consuelos being a more recent addition to the co-host lineup.
