After a week of guest co-hosts ranging from Kevin Jonas to Pamela Adlon, Live with Kelly and Mark is welcoming its next star to join Mark Consuelos at the co-host desk as Kelly Ripa recovers from gum graft surgery.
Sarah Chalke kicks off this week’s guest co-host lineup, sitting alongside Consuelos as they chat with former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais and The Pitt star Isa Briones. Others filling in for Ripa this week include Jenna Dewan, Live announcer Déjà Vu, Michelle Buteau, and Carrie Coon.
As DECIDER reported last week, the current season of Live with Kelly and Mark runs until Aug. 28, though the Live team will take their annual summer break this month, as well. According to Entertainment Weekly, the show’s summer break begins next week.
Chalke recently reprised the role of Elliot Reid in Hulu’s Scrubs revival, in which—spoiler alert—she and Zach Braff‘s J.D. Dorian are divorced. The actress spoke with DECIDER ahead of the series’ return earlier this year, urging fans to “stay with” them, in spite of the potentially controversial choice.
“I promise you, it was the right way to do this,” she said. “When I read it, I was so pumped, because I feel like there’s not a lot of comedy and drama in fine, like everything’s just fine.”
Fortunately, fans of Bill Lawrence‘s medical comedy will see Chalke, Braff, Donald Faison, and the rest of the Sacred Heart gang in a sophomore season.
Live with Kelly and Mark airs on weekdays. Check out their website for your local listings.
