LIVE With Kelly & Mark star Kelly Ripa has improved an audience member’s day on Monday’s episode.
Kelly acknowledged that a Live fan had gotten the short end of the stick when it came to seating while on-air.

The morning show host, 53, put the responsibility of which Live crowd member would be walking away with a gift in the hands of today’s trivia player Kimberly.
Kimberly won some prizes from Live’s Warm It Up Trivia game segment.
Kelly had Kimberly “make the day of a lucky Live member” by helping the TV star pick which person in the studio audience would be gifted a Roomba Robot Vacuum Cleaner.
Kelly asked Kimberly to choose a number “between 1 and 177.”
The on-air caller chose the number 20 since she and her husband’s 20th anniversary was approaching.
A production member shifted the camera from the morning show hosts to the audience member who got picked.
The selected woman was stationed behind a pole in the studio.
Kelly noticed the audience member’s poor placement, taking a moment to comment on it.

“See, lady, your crappy seat behind the pole is not so bad now,” she told the seated woman.
“I felt bad for her until just now.”
EYES LIKE A HAWK
Lately, Kelly has been communicating more with Live audience members.
Earlier this month, the Live Wire author called them out on their collective judgment during a light-hearted topic that turned personal.
While discussing various topics, Mark Consuelos, 52, she read an article aloud that stated, “Most Americans, don’t judge adults who still live with their parents.”
Kelly eyed the studio audience, who remained silent after the statement.
She then quipped, “This audience does.”
Mark and the audience laughed as Kelly continued to peer at its members.
Her husband and co-host asked, “Did you see some judgment?”
“I saw a lot of judgment,” Kelly confirmed.
Mark continued, “Indeed, almost ninety percent of [a] forty-one hundred adult survey felt like amid so much student debt and insecure job market and record-breaking inflation there shouldn’t be a stigma around the decision to live at home and save.”
He then added that he agreed with the article as Kelly asked, “When you live at home with your parents do you pay rent at a certain point?”
‘…JUST PROJECTING’
“I think you should,” responded Mark.
“I think you should help out. I think you should definitely make it a short-term situation.”
The Riverdale actor then revealed, “Maybe I’m just projecting what I hope happens in our house when I’m staring at a thirty-five-year-old.”
Kelly quickly probed, “Who do you think that would be?”
Mark answered, “I don’t know, they all seem very independent but Lola loves being at home with us now.”
His wife agreed as she mentioned, “[Lola] does love being at home with us but I think that’s because she’s moving.”
The co-hosts both admitted that “it’s cute,” though Kelly suspected that Lola could be “playing the long game.”
“She wants us to like leave her things I think,” she speculated on air.
Mark quickly interjected, “The house. She wants us to leave her the house.”
Kelly then suggested that Lola is being nice to them so that she and Mark would leave a “side inheritance” just for her.
Mark immediately shut that down by looking at the camera and stating, “It’s not happening.”
