Kelly Ripa jokes about taking ‘indecent photos' in front of David Muir's ABC portrait
Muir, who earned his third consecutive Emmy for World News Tonight, appeared on the show to discuss his career and the network's move to its new headquarters at 7 Hudson Square in New York City. Ripa and her husband and co-host, Mark Consuelos, shared laughs with Muir over his reputation as "Commander Handsome" and the larger-than-life images of anchors now decorating the ABC studio walls.
Ripa revealed that she and Consuelos have 'unfettered access' to the building and joked that they often admire Muir's portraits. The conversation took a playful turn when Ripa confessed, 'I have some very indecent photos of me standing in front of your picture that I can't show on the air because they told me it was not suitable for broadcast.'
Consuelos added to the moment by joking that 'HR was right next to her' when the photos were taken. Muir responded in kind, recalling other playful moments and teasing Ripa about prior photo offers.
Despite the laughs, the hosts also praised Muir's accomplishments. Muir said he was proud to let his team accept the Emmy in his absence, acknowledging their hard work over the past 11 years amid increasingly serious news cycles.

Neil Druckmann exits HBO's ‘The Last of Us' series to focus on new game project
Neil Druckmann, co-creator of HBO's The Last of Us, has announced his departure from the acclaimed television series. In a statement shared via Naughty Dog's official Instagram, Druckmann said he is stepping away from his creative role on the show to focus fully on upcoming projects at the studio, including directing and writing a new game titled Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. 'With work completed on Season 2 and before any meaningful work starts on Season 3, now is the right time for me to transition my complete focus to Naughty Dog,' Druckmann said. He added that co-creating the HBO adaptation has been a career highlight, praising collaborator Craig Mazin and the entire cast and crew for their dedication to faithfully adapting the beloved video game franchise. Druckmann played a central role in the development of The Last of Us video games at Naughty Dog before co-creating the television adaptation with Mazin, known for his Emmy-winning series Chernobyl. Since its debut in 2023, the show has received widespread acclaim and earned 24 Primetime Emmy nominations. Season 2 aired earlier this year, and HBO confirmed a third season in April. Druckmann will retain an executive producer credit. Mazin praised Druckmann's vision and partnership in a separate statement, saying, 'It's been a creative dream to work with Neil and bring his brilliant work to life on HBO. I'm beyond excited to play his next game.' Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet was first announced in December, with Tati Gabrielle set to star and music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. No release date has been confirmed. Though stepping back from the series, Druckmann's creative legacy will continue to shape The Last of Us as it moves forward.
