‘Live’: Kelly Ripa Says She & Crew Worked ‘Sick as Dogs’ Back in the Day
Kelly Ripa noted a cultural change on Live With Kelly and Mark as staff now stay home at first signs of illness, contrasting with pre-COVID days of working while sick.
- On Thursday, January 15, Kelly Ripa asked the Live With Kelly and Mark studio audience if anyone had been sick, using the moment to highlight changing sick-day culture.
- Remember pre-COVID when staff routinely came to work ill, with Ripa saying they would 'roll into work sick as dogs,' but an early COVID outbreak caused studio closures and illness in cohost Mark Consuelos's family.
- Ripa listed illnesses the crew worked through, including several flu strains, pink eye and strep throat, and recalled that Live crew shared belongings while ill.
- Over time, Kelly Ripa said the staff's attitude shifted so symptomatic people now stay home, citing `I have a sniffle. I don't think I can come in today.`
- Ripa linked holiday timing to falling ill, saying bodies often choose to get sick during time off, while Consuelos recently shared he's been thinking about it.
