Mark Consuelos, co-host of Live with Kelly and Mark, showcased his unique personality on Wednesday’s show, revealing his fascination with cleaning and organizing videos. He shared his enthusiasm for watching clips of an overgrown lawn being perfectly mowed and edged in high speed. His excitement was so evident that co-host Kelly Ripa teased him, suggesting that these videos might be a form of "porn" for him. Consuelos playfully agreed, saying, "Well, it’s porn to me." The two then delved into the topic of "cleaning extremely dirty rugs," a growing genre of content that left Consuelos swooning. The conversation took a lighthearted turn as they joked about dimming the lights and playing romantic music to set the mood, leaving the audience in stitches.
The discussion continued with Consuelos sharing his love for power-washing filthy rugs and watching the dirt get sucked away. Ripa humorously chimed in, asking if he wanted to be alone, to which Consuelos responded with even more enthusiasm. The pair’s chemistry was undeniable as they bantered back and forth, turning the topic of cleaning into a lighthearted and romantic exchange. Consuelos even compared the satisfaction of cleaning to "leaf blowing" videos, which sent him into another fit of excitement. His descriptions of an "electric leaf blower" and the way leaves disappear left both Ripa and the audience amused. The segment ended with Consuelos revealing that his love for cleaning started at a young age, when he would meticulously straighten the tassels on his family’s living room rug.
Ripa took the opportunity to reflect on her husband’s quirks, recalling their early days on the set of All My Children. She shared a story about how Consuelos would watch her eat a toasted bagel with cream cheese, cringing at the crumbs that fell onto the floor. At the time, she didn’t understand why it bothered him so much, but now it makes perfect sense. Consuelos jokingly admitted that he "could fix her," a playful nod to his desire for order and cleanliness. Ripa teased him by saying, "She just needs a plate," and Consuelos quipped, "She’s feral!" The lighthearted exchange highlighted their dynamic and how their differences have only strengthened their relationship over the years.
The conversation also revealed the deeper aspects of Consuelos’s personality, showcasing how his love for cleaning and organization goes beyond just a hobby.
