Mark Consuelos Shocks ‘Live’ Audience With Surprising Viewer Question
Consuelos lost the game after 79% of viewers backed the Dolly Day claim and he asked the contestant to swear on her kids.
- On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Live With Kelly and Mark host Mark Consuelos faced backlash after asking contestant Lisa Best to "swear on your kids" during the show's "Stump Mark" segment.
- During the fan-favorite game, contestants share two "facts" while Consuelos guesses the truth; Best, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, claimed she participated in the Dolly Day Festival and performed at the Grand Ole Opry.
- Desperate to win, Consuelos asked Best to swear on her children, prompting co-host Kelly Ripa to interject, "Lisa, you do not have to answer that question."
- Consuelos guessed incorrectly as 79 percent of viewers sided with Best's Dolly Day claim; defeated, he replied, "I guess the old adage, 'God will get you back!'" while Ripa declared, "AND THAT'S WHAT YOU GET, MARK."
- If a fan successfully stumps the host, they win a mug and a special "Stump Mark" T-shirt, though Ripa noted the audience was "horrified" by the line of questioning.
