Live TV, there’s nothing like it! On Monday, June 29, viewers and audience members of Live With Kelly and Michael got a rude wake-up call that fans still can’t stop talking about as the video circulates on the Internet. As the two smiling hosts took their seats to begin the show, a loud alarm began sounding, causing Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan to look around confused.
“It’s a good thing this isn’t live TV,” Ripa, 44, quipped.
The blaring alarm continued blasting for three-and-a-half minutes as the hosts were encouraged to keep talking. Handling the situation like pros, they made a few jokes about the situation before launching into stories about their two recent vacations.
Finally after the minutes dragged on, the off-camera crew was able to find the source of the sound and turn it off.
“If you don’t want me to come back from vacation, just say it!” Ripa joked.
Watch the funny exchange now!
