Actress Carrie Coon, known for her role in HBO's 'The Gilded Age,' served as the guest co-host on 'Live with Kelly and Mark' on August 7, 2026. Coon joined Mark Consuelos for an episode that had been previously recorded.
Coon's appearance marked the conclusion of two weeks of guest co-hosts, which also included other personalities like Kevin Jonas, Pamela Adlon, and Michelle Buteau. These guest hosts filled in during Kelly Ripa's absence as she recovered from gum graft surgery. The surgery occurred ahead of the show's annual summer break.
'Live with Kelly and Mark' is scheduled to continue airing new episodes until August 28, the end of its 38th season. During the summer break, episodes will feature a mix of new host chats and previously aired segments. The show is set to return for its 39th season with a live broadcast on Tuesday, September 8, which is also expected to be Ripa's return to the studio.
In other news, Coon recently announced on social media that production for Season 4 of 'The Gilded Age' has wrapped. She shared a photo with co-star Morgan Spector, indicating the HBO period drama is on track for its expected fall premiere, though an official release date has not yet been announced.
