‘Live with Kelly and Mark' will debut new Hudson Square set on April 14 — but will shoot from ‘cafeteria' until then
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' big move to ABC and Disney's swanky new Hudson Square headquarters is a bit delayed, it seems. The husband and wife co-hosts of the morning show will officially broadcast from their new set on April 14, but we're told they'll have to film near the buffet until then.
'They're basically going to be doing it from the cafeteria lobby… because they don't have a studio,' an insider told Page Six.
Another insider described the location as a 'gorgeous open sprawling space near the cafeteria.' 'It's amazing!,' they insisted.
'They're just putting the final touches on the studio, but everyone is thrilled to be in this new Disney building,' they said.
Disney has previously hosted movie premieres and events in the temporary space.
A production source confirmed, 'We will be broadcasting our show live next week from the beautiful 10th floor in our new building while we put the final touches on our studio.'
Ripa and Consuelos taped their final show from 7 Lincoln Square, the show's studio of 37 years, on Tuesday. Sources described the goodbye as 'bittersweet.' Ripa, who joined the show in 2001 as co-host to Regis Philbin, reminisced about their kids growing up in building, which is now somewhat decrepit.
The show aired a re-run from November on Wednesday after the big move. We hear they'll return to live shows starting Monday. The hosting couple and their TV crew join ABC News and ABC/Disney shows like 'The View' and 'Tamron Hall.' 'Everyone is very excited,' the production source said.
We hear that next week guests will including Elizabeth Moss, Jay Shetty, Bradley Whitford, Walton Goggins, Tracee Ellis Ross, Yvonne Strahovski, Matthew Rhys, Chrissy Metz, Bryce Dallas Howard and Hailee Steinfeld.

Lindsay Lohan Says She Was Pigeonholed to Play Certain Types of Roles But Plans to ‘Break That Cycle': ‘I Have To Fight For Stuff Like That'
Lindsay Lohan is sharing her frustrations about how growing up in the public eye pigeonholed her from playing more sophisticated roles. 'Yeah, I do [think I was pigeonholed],' she said in an interview with The Times U.K.. 'I was so thrilled to work on 'A Prairie Home Companion' and yet even today I have to fight for stuff that is like that, which is frustrating. Because, well, you know me as this — but you also know I can do that. So let me! Give me the chance. I have to break that cycle and open doors to something else, leaving people no choice. And in due time, if Martin Scorsese reaches out, I'm not going to say no.' More from Variety Jamie Lee Curtis Says Plastic Surgery Has Led to a 'Genocide' of Women Who've 'Disfigured Themselves,' but She Doesn't Judge Her Hollywood Peers: 'I Would Never Say a Word' Anthony Anderson Tells 17-Year-Old Lindsay Lohan That 'Men Like Them Young' in Resurfaced Interview; Actor Now Says It Was 'Clearly Intended as Comedy' 'Freakier Friday' First Reactions Call Disney Sequel a 'True Delight' With Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis Delivering 'Hilarity and Emotion' in a 'Great Feel-Good Film' Lohan began acting at an early age and had her first breakout role in 1998's 'The Parent Trap.' She became a household name after appearing in several 2000s films, including 'Mean Girls,' 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' and 'Herbie: Fully Loaded.' As she climbed the Hollywood ranks, the movie star took a brief career hiatus during the 2000s. Lohan explained why she decided to step outside of the spotlight. 'I wanted to take a minute,' Lohan said. 'I was losing that feeling of excitement about doing a film, and I wanted to live my own life for a bit, figure out how to have a more private life, a real life. I wanted to wait to get that itch again.' Lohan has since returned to the big screen and will star opposite Jamie Lee Curtis in the upcoming film, 'Freakier Friday.' A follow-up to the duo's 2003 comedy, 'Freaky Friday,' the new story features a 'multigenerational twist' that features Anna (Lohan) as a mom. The movie will be released in theaters on Aug. 8. Looking ahead, Lohan said she wants to be a part of a wider range of projects. 'I miss films that are stories, like 'All About Eve' or 'Breakfast at Tiffany's,'' she said. 'There are not many major movies I want to go and see that are like that — there's a gap and I'm craving to do work like that.' The actress is set to star in the new Hulu thriller, 'Count My Lies,' which she also executive produces. Based on the novel of the same name, the series is about a conniving nanny who uncovers the secrets of a family she works with. The production marks Lohan's first starring role in a TV series.

Animated ‘Eyes of Wakanda' is a worthy, but too short, addition to the MCU
Marvel Studios has always prided itself on being a universe of interlocking stories, but one of the quieter strengths of Disney's superhero factory has been the ability to pivot into new and different genres while keeping the connective tissue intact. That was true when 'Guardians of the Galaxy' introduced space opera into the mix and again when 'WandaVision' flirted with sitcom surrealism in the aftermath of 'Avengers: Endgame.' With 'Eyes of Wakanda,' Marvel has a new animated anthology of four half-hour episodes that feels both impressively expansive and disappointingly fleeting, even as it spans millennia. It's a lavishly realized glimpse into a corner of the MCU, executive-produced by 'Black Panther' director (and Oakland native) Ryan Coogler and developed by veteran Marvel storyboard artist Todd Harris, but each episode's brevity works against the whole. While the Dora Milaje — the warrior bodyguards led by Danai Gurira's Okoye — have become mainstays of Wakanda's onscreen mythology, the spotlight here is on the War Dogs: deep-cover operatives tasked with recovering stolen artifacts and safeguarding Wakanda's secrets. The series uses these missions as narrative waypoints, jumping from 1260 B.C. to the 19th century to lend new context to important historical and mythological moments. If that sounds like a setup rife with possibilities, it is. And therein lies both the show's appeal and its frustration. Each episode introduces new characters, establishes the mission at hand and then wraps before the audience has had time to form much of a connection. This isn't entirely the fault of the storytelling, of course. A show spanning thousands of years is bound to rely on thematic rather than character continuity. Still, the result is an experience that's rich in scope but emotionally thin. What's on offer, however, is undeniably striking. The animation eschews the cel-shaded hybrid look of the recently concluded 'What If…?' in favor of lush backgrounds, painterly compositions and action sequences that often resemble moving concept art. Harris' history as a visual artist shows in every frame. From windswept battlefields to shadowy palaces, the rich visual palette grounds the fantasy in Coogler's live-action films while still establishing its own aesthetic identity. The voice cast also rises to the occasion, including Cress Williams as the Lion — a rogue War Dog whose betrayal sets the series' central conflict and mission into motion — and Winnie Harlow as Noni, a former Dora Milajae tasked with stopping him. Throughout the season, we also hear strong work from Larry Herron, Lynn Whitfield and Gary Anthony Williams, among others. Of course, for MCU obsessives, the ties to the broader Marvel mythology are always half the fun. Without giving too much away, the series introduces a new iteration of Iron Fist (Jona Xiao) bound to overshadow the execrable Netflix version. At the same time, the finale neatly lays out plot threads that reframe aspects of the 'Black Panther' mythology. In that respect, 'Eyes of Wakanda' mirrors the best of Marvel's one-shots: supplemental material enriching the story's larger world while carving out its own identity. In this instance, the scale and ambition hint at a series that could and should be much larger. Ultimately, that's the paradox of 'Eyes of Wakanda.' In an era where Marvel projects are routinely dinged for being too long, here's one that's not long enough — that's over just as it feels like it's finding its rhythm. That may not be the worst problem, but it does mean this debut season plays more like a prologue than the next great chapter of the MCU. Zaki Hasan is a freelance writer.

Alyssa Farah Griffin on Harris's Colbert appearance: ‘Everything that's wrong with Democrats'
Former White House aide and 'The View' co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin weighed in on former Vice President Kamala Harris's appearance on Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show,' arguing the interview, her first since losing to President Trump in the 2024 election, represents everything that is 'wrong' with Democrats since the November presidential race. 'I was struck by, I'm going to try not be too harsh on this. This interview felt like a microcosm of everything that's wrong with Democrats post-election. I'm going to CBS and this sort of trying to make a point that they fired Stephen Colbert, which many on the left called an attack on democracy, a man who was making $20 million a year, someone I hold in high esteem, but the economics of his show were not working,' Farah Griffin said during her Saturday morning appearance on CNN. 'He was losing $40 million a year. He was in the Ed Sullivan Theater, which is expensive, to talk about the plight of democracy at CBS, a network that's having its own struggles right now, rather than talking about the economics of the situation and playing to something a shrinking audience that is network television, not realizing it's not where the American voters are,' 'The View' co-host said while on CNN's 'Table For Five.' CBS announced in mid-July that it is nixing 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' ending its run in May 2026, arguing it was a 'financial decision.' Harris's appearance on the late-night show was her first interview since losing to Trump in the last Oval Office race, an appearance where she promoted her upcoming book '107 Days,' which will detail her short-lived presidential campaign. The former vice president, who announced on Wednesday that she will not jump into the 2026 California gubernatorial race, further elaborated on her decision. 'I don't want to go back into the system. I think it's broken. I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people, I want to talk with people. And I don't want it to be transactional, where I'm asking for their vote,' Harris told Colbert, who criticized CBS and its parent company, Paramount Global, for pulling the plug. When asked on the Thursday show who should be the leader of the Democratic Party, as it deals with plummeting approval numbers and looks to spark more enthusiasm, the vice president argued that it would be a mistake to put 'it on the shoulders of any one person.' 'It's really on all of our shoulders,' she said. Farah Griffin, who has been critical of Trump and said late last year that she voted for Harris during the 2024 election cycle, stated on CNN that 'It felt like if everyone who was advising her [Harris], told her this was a good idea, that is not where I would have made the grand come back … it's like announcing your exploratory committee on the sinking deck of The Titanic.'
