It’s live television, so anything is possible — and Mark Consuelos learned that the hard way.
The actor, 53, suffered a wardrobe malfunction during Wednesday’s episode of “LIVE with Kelly and Mark.”
Consuelos was in the middle of his opening segment with co-host and wife Kelly Ripa, 54, but didn’t realize his fly was down the whole time.
As he leaned back in his seat, it became clear the zipper of his pants was wide open as the program moved into the “Stump Mark” segment.
However, Consuelos soon realized, as he turned to Ripa and said, “My zipper’s down!” in a panic-stricken voice.
When the duo returned on camera, Ripa made an over-exaggerated point of looking at her husband’s lap as he laughed about the mishap.
The “All My Children” alum teased, “Did anybody notice that?” to which the “Riverdale” actor replied, “No! My fly was down the whole time!”
At the end of the episode, Ripa and Consuelos took a moment to read comments from viewers who were watching the mishap unfold at home.
“I noticed Mark’s fly was open when he was speaking about Princeton,” one fan wrote.
“Sometimes it’s Groundhog Day every day,” Ripa slickly quipped back.
But the pair are no strangers to wardrobe malfunctions on their early morning talk show.
Back in 2023, Ripa was rushing to change into a dress, telling the audience on arrival, “I had a small wardrobe emergency backstage!” while trying to fix her bow.
“It was very exciting,” she exclaimed. “I almost did not walk out here!”
Consuelos confessed he “was wondering how that was going to go” and was planning on doing what any good husband would – “stretch” the opening to allow her more time to get dressed.
She replied: “Yeah, how you were going to wait for me?”
“But then I got drunk with power,” he teased.
“It’s gonna be me out here. It could turn into anything! It could be anything out here. Talking sports. That’s just it, just sports.”
Along with clothing misfortunes, Ripa and Consuelos have also given fans a look into their personal lives on the show.
In December, the “Hope & Faith” actress shared that with “ all the roommates,” referring to their three children: Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 22, the holidays were “great.”
“A lot of fun,” she said as the former soap star added, “A lot of festive arguments.”
She then detailed the main argument between the couple of almost 30 years.
“He shows up as an honored guest at Thanksgiving,” Ripa stated, noting that Consuelos thinks “the food just materializes.”
“He complained to me because there was too much butter in the mashed potatoes.”
“Well, do we want to talk about that, or should we just let you say that?” Consuelos asked, to which Ripa quipped, “No, I just put a chunk of butter on top expecting it to melt down!”
Later in the night, as Ripa put it, Consuelos made a pie and “did it his way and made what I like to call ‘Soup Pizza!’”
