'He doesn't listen to me frequently, and he will tune me out while we're live on the air,' she said on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast (via EW).
The Hope & Faith alum is not shocked by her husband's behavior after being married for almost three decades, but she's not used to this happening on their live show.
'When you are being paid, highly paid by the way, to literally listen to me, then you have to listen,' she said. 'I watch him drift away and I'm like, 'Hey, hey, don't do that!''
Consuelos joined Ripa as co-host of Live in 2023 following Ryan Seacrest's departure after being in that seat for almost six years. Ripa also mentioned in the podcast that Consuelos was hesitant but the response from the audience has been positive.
'The audience really responds to Mark because Mark has a zero Fs attitude,' she said. 'And the audience loves that. There's no artifice with him.'
With the addition of Consuelos, Ripa noted that more males are tuning in, saying, 'We have men sitting in our audience, a first. We have never had that before.'
Ripa first joined Live in 2001 to co-host alongside Regis Philbin following Kathie Lee Gifford's departure. Following Philbin's departure, Michael Strahan took over co-hosting duties, followed by Seacrest and then Consuelos.

From free wine tasting to a trendy swim club, here's what's new in Wine Country
Wine Country's food scene has recently exploded with new options. Bay Area pizza legend A16 opened a Napa outpost and the city also got its first Filipino restaurant from a French Laundry alum. The team behind St. Helena's Michelin-starred Press launched Under-study, a whimsical, high-end cafe next door. The sleepy Sonoma Valley has suddenly transformed into an exciting culinary hub. In the past few months, the tiny, unincorporated towns of Glen Ellen and Kenwood welcomed French bistro Poppy (from the owners of the Girl & the Fig) and Italian eatery Stella (from the owners of the Glen Ellen Star), respectively. Another French restaurant, Bistro Lagniappe, looks for a fresh start following a contentious legal battle over its predecessor, Molti Amici, in Healdsburg. Like Sonoma Valley, Petaluma is also in the midst of a culinary renaissance, and the latest addition is Bijou — yes, another French restaurant — from the founders of popular fine dining spot Table Culture Provisions. Read on for more recent restaurant openings, plus a trio of new tasting rooms, a food-centric museum and a swim club that just launched in Napa and Sonoma Wine Country. Check out the last installment of what's new in Wine Country here. Cabernet heavyweight offers free tastings in playful new home Napa Valley Cabernet stalwart Mark Herold Wines has moved from its eclectic tasting room near the Oxbow Public Market to a larger, permanent home in Oakville, right off Highway 29. Owner Brion Wise — one of Wine Country's biggest power players in recent years — purchased the brand from founder Mark Herold in 2023 (Herold has stayed on as winemaker) and then acquired the ivy-covered Cosentino Winery in 2024 as part of the Vintage Wine Estates' bankruptcy fallout. The new spot is still quite whimsical inside, featuring a pink neon sign, green furs and blue suede couches, quirky paintings and a clear nautical theme; there's also a sunny terrace with ample seating. An array of tasting experiences are available for Mark Herold wines and Wise's Sonoma label, B. Wise Vineyards, including the chance to sample two featured wines each day for free. In the coming weeks, the tasting room plans to launch a savory cookie pairing. A new kind of Russian River swimming hole A playful resort and swim club has opened in redwooded Guerneville. A lovely escape from San Francisco 'summer,' the River Electric offers a family-friendly Russian River staycation in glamping tents, plus day passes to its two pools. One is a massive, 60-foot round pool and bar that serves up Straus soft serve, a high-low hot dog and fries loaded with pimento cheese and potato chip crumble. 16101 Neely Rd., Guerneville. Classic Wine Country stopover is resurrected A historic and popular roadside rest stop for cyclists has finally reopened after closing in 2019. The Jimtown Store, set on the scenic Highway 128 in Alexander Valley, was purchased by Michelle Wood, owner of the catering company Dim Sum and then Sum. The 1893 building, renamed Jimtown and then Sum, now serves dumplings, potstickers, spring rolls and baos alongside more traditional sandwiches at lunch. For breakfast, Jimtown offers coffee and pastries, plus heartier plates, like avocado toast and a breakfast burrito. A fresh wine experience in a surprising place A warehouse a mile outside of downtown Healdsburg is now home to an unlikely new tasting room. Inside and perched above a working winery, a small glass box hosts cozy and intimate tastings of elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the extreme Sonoma Coast. This is the first-ever tasting room for Wayfarer, founded by second-generation vintner Cleo Pahlmeyer of Napa's famed Pahlmeyer winery in 2012. After a tour of the winery, guests can watch the cellar work in real time as they taste ($75-$175), plus mesmerizing drone footage of the Wayfarer Vineyard — set at 1200 ft. and four miles from the ocean — projected over the barrels. 1441 Grove St., Healdsburg. Five miles north of Napa Valley's iconic welcome sign, there's a popular new photo op: a giant stick of butter. It sits outside of the MAC (the Napa Valley Museum of Art & Culture), a new attraction that moved into the old Dean & DeLuca building and shares space with Under-study, a fancy new cafe from St. Helena's Michelin-starred Press Restaurant. The MAC's opening exhibition, which will run through March 2026, is a fun and interactive celebration of famed chef Julia Child. Swing by Under-study after your visit for a lobster corn dog topped with caviar. (San Francisco Chronicle restaurant critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan recommended the sweet and sour pig ears and the heirloom tomato dish.) 607 St. Helena Hwy, St. Helena. A combination tasting room and record shop Petaluma got its third record store, but there's a compelling difference with this one: It serves wine. Montagne Russe, a winery known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, has relocated its tasting room from Healdsburg to the burgeoning city of Petaluma, where most of its grapes are grown. The space, which stays open until 8 p.m., showcases more than 400 vinyl albums, with plans to grow the collection; tastings are $35 for a flight of five wines. Wines can be sipped by the glass and bottle as well, and visitors are allowed to bring in food from local restaurants (perhaps a sandwich from the Local?). As for design, Montagne Russe, a French term for roller coaster, features a rollercoaster mural and movie posters for the 1977 film 'Rollercoaster,' collected from 10 countries. Hot dogs get the Napa treatment Sumo Dog, a new vendor at Napa's Oxbow Public Market, merges the classic American staple with Japanese condiments. Founded by former Morimoto chef Jeffrey Lunak, the chain offers beef, pork and vegan hot dogs in nearly a dozen iterations, like the signature Sumo Dog ($9), slathered in wasabi relish, pickled peppers, spicy mayo, teriyaki sauce, furikake, onion and nori. If you're especially hungry (or willing to share), opt for the Godzilla ($12), a footlong with all the Sumo toppings, plus beef chili, togarashi cheese sauce and jalapenos. Sumo Dog's presence at the Oxbow is a temporary residency; they are scheduled to be there through the end of the year. 610 First St., Napa. Wine Country pizza joint expands The team behind Sebastopol's Acre Pizza, which the Chronicle rated among the Bay Area's best, has opened a sister restaurant focused on another beloved carb: pasta. Acre Pasta is also located in the city's industrial Barlow complex and serves classic pasta dishes like spaghetti with 'Sunday red' sauce ($12) and baked lasagna alla norma ($18). Gluten-free pasta is available and patrons can upgrade their plate with burrata, pancetta, mushrooms, chicken or shrimp. For a full meal, pair your pasta with burrata toast, a salad or meatballs.

This year's Emmys are on CBS. A Stephen Colbert win would be sweet revenge
When I interviewed Stephen Colbert eight years ago, Donald Trump was in Year 1 of his first term in office and Colbert was finishing his second year of hosting his CBS late-night show. 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' had gotten off to a bumpy start as Colbert struggled to adapt to a new form and find his own voice after playing a 'well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot' for a decade on Comedy Central's late-night news satire 'The Colbert Report.' 'I was not indulging my own instincts,' Colbert told me of his tentative early days at CBS, adding later that he had 'stepped away from politics to a fault.' When we spoke, Colbert's program was the No. 1 late-night talk show on the air by a wide margin. Now, eight years later, déjà vu: Donald Trump is in Year 1 of his second term, and 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' still reigns as the late-night ratings champ. But there's one difference. As of next May, Colbert will no longer have a job with CBS, the network having canceled his show last month. That abrupt move has led to all manner of anger (CBS' statement saying it was 'purely a financial decision' seems dubious) and hand-wringing (RIP late night). Colbert was the first to mock his newfound sainthood status. Noting that Trump had posted on social media that he absolutely loved that Colbert was fired, Colbert read Trump's follow-up post: 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel's next.' 'Absolutely not, Kimmel,' Colbert said. 'I am the martyr. There's only room for one on this cross and I gotta tell you, the view is fantastic. From up here, I can see your house.' 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' has never won a series Emmy, routinely bested in its early years by 'Last Week Tonight With John Oliver' until Oliver's wins became so routine that the Television Academy created an entirely new category, outstanding scripted variety series. Shuttling Oliver's show accomplished two things: It allowed some other program to take talk series (so far it's only been 'The Daily Show') and gave voters an easy out to finally stop voting for 'Saturday Night Live.' But even if Colbert was competing this year against his fellow 'Daily Show' alum and old friend Oliver, you'd have to think that Emmy voters would be seizing the moment and giving Colbert's show its first Emmy, an award that would be well earned — and also make for a delicious piece of theater. The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will be held Sept. 14 at the Peacock Theater. The ceremony rotates among the four broadcast networks, and this year that broadcast partner happens to be CBS, whose parent company, Paramount Global, just landed Federal Communications Commission approval for its $8-billion merger with Skydance Media. That FCC thumbs-up came less than a month after Paramount paid $16 million to settle Trump's lawsuit against CBS News and a few days after CBS canceled Colbert (again, 'purely a financial decision'). This means that when (not if) 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' wins the talk series Emmy, Colbert will take the stage with his team and, one would presume, have something interesting to say. I'm curious where he'll go. Colbert is gracious and polite, keeping a quote from the French Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin — 'Joy is the most infallible sign of the presence of God' — affixed to his computer and remembering the quote his parents would often invoke from French philosopher Léon Bloy, who said that the only sadness is not to be a saint. 'That's the great sadness, not to be perfect, meaning not to be a saint, not to see the world the way God does,' Colbert says. 'Which is that everyone is going through a battle you know nothing about.' But Colbert also relishes a good fight and can't resist a verbal poke-in-the-eye when he feels it's warranted. 'How dare you, sir,' Colbert responded on air to Trump celebrating his show's demise. 'Could an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?' Pause. 'Go f— yourself.' When Trump was first elected, Colbert told viewers, 'We drank too much of the poison' and that Americans needed to focus on what we have in common. Arguably, you could say that he has done just that in the ensuing years. Shouldn't we all share a common distaste for ever-widening income inequality, masked federal agents snatching people off our streets with no criminal convictions and rewriting history in the name of patriotism? (I could go on.) But Colbert has also fallen short of his ideals. 'That poison cup, man,' he told me. 'It's very hard not to drink from. It's very tasty.' Some say if Colbert didn't indulge so often in a taste (or, let's be real, a chug-a-lug) from that poison cup, his ratings would be better. 'Why shoot for just half an audience all the time? You know, why not try to get the whole?' former 'Tonight Show' host Jay Leno recently told Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation Chief Executive David Trulio. 'I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group. I'm not saying you have to throw your support or whatever, but just do what's funny.' Was Leno ever funny on 'The Tonight Show'? That's a question for another time. But, yes, the politicization of late-night shows hasn't helped their ratings, though the dominance of the internet and social media have played more of a role in the format's decline, a fact Colbert acknowledged after the cancellation. 'Some people see this show going away as a sign of something truly dire,' he said. 'And while I am a big fan of me, I don't necessarily agree with that statement. Because we here at 'The Late Show' never saw our job as changing anything other than how you felt at the end of the day, which I think is a worthy goal — or, rather, changing how you felt the next morning when you watched on your phone, which is why broadcast TV is dying.' And, yes, I watched that clip not on my television in real time, but on my phone the next day.
