At the end of Friday’s episode, Kelly, 53, made the big announcement.

“Alright. Well, guess what? Guess what? We have a big announcement to make,” she said, moving her hand across the screen.

“Huge,” husband Mark Consuelos added.

“We’re headed back to L.A. this year for the Oscars,” Kelly told viewers.

She went on to reveal that they want fans to join them the morning after the awards for their talk show in California.

“You could be sitting in Ryan Gosling’s seat,” Kelly exclaimed.

“Yeah, or Emma Stone,” Mark interjected.

“You can sit in the chair and then afterwards, you can take the chair with you,” Kelly, 53, joked.

“No,” Mark, 52, waged his finger. “You can’t do that.”

“Just kidding,” Kelly clarified.

Live will move back to New York City after the Oscars After Show.

THE DETAILS

After The Oscars will air live from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Monday, March 11 at 9am EST.

Live will have the night’s biggest winners and the moments people will still be talking about the next day.

Kelly and Mark will be talking to the Oscar winners moments after they get off the stage and show clips from those interviews.

The live studio audience will have the chance to sit in a seat that an actor sat in the night before.

They will also get to see musical performances, fashion panels, and more.

This will be Mark’s first After Oscars special, as he took over for Ryan Seacrest after last year’s awards.

The 96th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 10 and will be televised live on ABC.

FRESH START

In September, Kelly and Mark debuted another change to the talk show.

With Mark’s first full season as host, they changed the opening theme.

The video first showed the couple brushing their teeth while wearing pajamas before changing into their show outfits.

Kelly and Mark then jumped in a yellow taxi cab, where the co-hosts seemingly converses about their upcoming show.

The clip then panned to the inside of the ABC studio, where the audience and producers are excited for the show to begin.

In slow motion, the ending showed Mark giving Kelly a twirl as the two flash a big smile directly at the camera.
