For more than 3 decades I have admired Kelly Ripa, I actually call her my celebrity wife; it is a running joke with all my friends.   On November 18, 2019 after asking in an Instagram post to take a bucket list selfie with her, OMG, it actually happened!  This was when Ryan Seacrest was her co-host, it was even more exciting to meet him as well.  They are both so genuine and made my experience unforgetful.  I also got to be the "I" in LIVE, you can see the clip when Ryan Seacrest calls my name, and see my chat with both of them the last 2 minutes of the show below. Best day ever! Seriously tho! I am forever impressed with their kind hearts! 

​

Well the story continued, on February 26, 2024 all the stars aligned and I not only got to chat with her again, she signed this original selfie, requested we take another, and an additional photo with her husband and new co-host Mark Consuelos.  

​

..and lastly, out of the 4x I have attended the show they were all remote. Never have I been to the studio in New York City until now.  July 15, 2024, that all changed and I was treated again with so much kindness, and the biggest surprise ever happened.
