LIVE’s Mark Consuelos has admitted he embarrassed daughter Lola when Nick Jonas stopped by to use the bathroom at the family’s home.
As with most of the morning shows the day after the Met Gala, Kelly and Mark were discussing the event on Live.

Kelly brought up how close she and Mark live to the Met.
Mark had a story to share about his proximity to the area.
“The Met Gala and the museum is close to our house, and one of my buddies, Nick Jonas, was on his way to the Met Gala, and traffic was crazy.”
Kelly interrupted her husband for a moment to make fun of him “threading” Nick’s name in for a “namedrop”.
Mark laughed and continued his story.
“He was stuck in traffic, and he said ‘Hey man, do you mind if I use your bathroom? I’m on my way’, and I said ‘Please, stop by!'”
The audience had a chuckle at the visual.
He then mentioned daughter Lola, 21, in the next part of his story.

“Now, Lola was probably a sophomore or a junior in high school,” he said.
Kelly corrected Mark that she was likely a freshman, possibly a grade-schooler at the time.
Mark kept going: “She came home from school, she wore sweat pants to school, she had gym class the final period, she didn’t like gym class.
“She was in a disarray and I knew Nick was gonna come to the door. So I was sitting in the kitchen and Lola was telling me about her day at school, and I say ‘Hey listen, there’s going to be a delivery at the front door, if you can get it for me, please answer the door.”
The audience knew where this was going and laughed at Mark’s devious plan.
Kelly said Lola was a huge fan of the Jonas Brothers since the beginning.
Laughing, Mark went on with his story.
He said he told Lola to get the door when the doorbell rang and it was “probably Amazon.”
He continued: “She walks over and she opens the door and behind the door is this beautiful, shiny, dazzling Nick Jonas.”
“He goes ‘Hey, Lola!'” Mark said, putting his head down in mock embarrassment for Lola.
“She goes, ‘Hi Nick,” as he recalled his daughter’s embarrassment.
“And she turns around and she looks at me, and says ‘I’m gonna kill you’.”
Mark told her to show Nick to the bathroom, and told her to guard the door.
She instead ran upstairs.
“She’s never forgiven you for that,” Kelly joked.
MAD AT MARK
Meanwhile, a Live guest warned Mark to be nice to her so she could win a mug during the show’s trivia segment.
Kelly and Mark played the Grow For It Spring Trivia event on Friday’s episode of the morning show.
A bit later in the game, they welcomed a guest named Christine Earley from Coeur D’Alene, Idaho to play the game.
Both hosts explained how to play to Christine.
She would provide two statements, one that’s true and one that’s false.
If Christine stumped Kelly and Mark, she would get a mug.
Christine had been watching when the previous guests played.
She knew that Mark hadn’t helped the contestants win their mugs.
Before her turn began, she warned: “You be nice, Mark, I really want this mug,”
Kelly couldn’t stop laughing.
She said through her giggles: “Christine, I really want you to beat Mark.
“This is just a fun game,” Mark joked, clearly defensive.
They then went on to play the game.
Christine ended up getting her mug.
“Just for the record, Christine, this does not go against my win/loss record,” Mark asserted at the end.
OH MARK
Meanwhile, host Mark Consuelos has had another awkward moment on the morning show.
Mark confused two Latin American countries during an episode of Live! when he congratulated a fan on winning a trip after they competed on the show.
In the middle of Friday’s show, Kelly Ripa, 52, and Mark, 52, had a contest where fans had to guess the correct answer to a rather difficult question.
It was a part of their Grow for it Spring Trivia segment.
The question asked what was The Diplomat star Ato Essandoh’s, 50, major while he was in college.
The fan who called in, Leah Mathis, said that Ato’s college major was “chemical engineering,” which turned out to be correct.
Since Leah was right, she earned a week-long vacation in Panama, where she would get to stay at the beloved Los Establos Boutique Hotel in Boquete.
Following Leah’s win, Mark shared his happiness for her achievement.
“I am really glad that you’re going to Mexico,” Mark said confidently.
His wife Kelly quickly corrected, “No, she’s going to Panama!”
Mark swiftly repeated himself but instead said the right country.
“I’m really glad you’re going to Panama,” he said as he put his down in laughter.
Kelly did the same.
AN OFF DAY
Kelly threw her husband Mark under the bus as he purposefully ignored her suggestion to help Leah in a trivia game earlier.
Initially, Leah was given two statements, one that was true and one that was false.
If Leah stumped Kelly and Mark, she would get a mug.
“I hope you win, Leah…but you probably won’t,” Mark joked.
“Okay, but you know…” Kelly trailed off.
“I want her to win, I want her to win!” Mark insisted.
“But you know what you have to pick,” Kelly continued.
“Yeah, I have to pick the one I think is right, is true, the one that’s true,” Mark replied.
Kelly explained: “No, if you want her to win, you have to pick the one that you believe is false but you say it’s true.”
Mark started shaking his head, saying “No, I don’t do that, I don’t do that.”
Kelly pointed at an answer on their desk and suggested “No, you should pick this one.”
Mark just stared at Kelly as she kindly tried to suggest what would help the player win.
They then argued over who should choose.
Mark finally answered: “Leah, I believe the one that’s true is that you went diving for lobster in the Florida Keys.”
Leah on the phone said: “That is correct.”
Kelly covered her face in embarrassment and frustration.
“I’m sorry you didn’t win a mug,” said Mark as he grinned wide. “I really am sorry you didn’t win a mug.”
“No, you’re not, because I told you which one to pick,” Kelly shot back.
“Well, we’ll just give ’em away,” Mark said as he tried to shrug his faux pas off.
Kelly was not pleased as they moved on with the show.
