An attempt at providing a viral challenge for ‘LIVE with Kelly and Mark’ somehow ended up with wings dipped in hot sauces shooting up in rank of spiciness in front of the cameras. That in itself felt like a brave moment and also a camaraderie together as the members braved the heat under the skies and created an unforgettable outdoor memory for a show so deeply adored during the day.

The icky new footage had the people behind the scenes of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos raining down on them-they went through hell-or rather hot sauce. The crew of ‘LIVE with Kelly and Mark’ went through the so-called Hot Ones Challenge; people would eat chicken wings that are drenched in sauces that get hotter as you go down the line.
The video saw so many staff members gathered around a single wing, and that detail surely did go noticed. One staffer takes a small bite, and all of a sudden, the situation goes from minor discomfort to full heat panic. Sweating, chugging milk, and putting up outrageous facial expressions all took over as the sauces became hotter.
The whole team wing-sharing idea was a hot topic of discussion amongst the viewers. One commenter wrote, “I love how you are all sharing the same wing!!” which spawned both laughs and concerned questions. Another user replied to the statement with a cringe face emoji, “I can hardly watch!!!”
The hygiene issue erupted. “Why didn’t you each have your own wings?” another pondered, while one more asserted, “Not a good idea sharing same wing chicken just saying.” Such a food-sharing procedure was sure to draw attention in the midst of a pandemic, but one commenter went further and agreed that it was probably to avoid food wastage.
Gender politics started weaving in when one viewer noted, “Schully is Spoiled She gets to take a Clean bite!!! Thats family right there!! Then I realized she’s the only Lady so that’s good!!” Another one appreciated, “How polite. Ladies first!”
Authenticity to the challenge realm: “That was insanely good,” said one, whereas the closeness of the team was laid to good use by another: “That’s one close working family.” Some scenes-to-go sympathized well with the viewers who love peeking behind the camera.
The spice was not for the good. One Hot Ones purist gave them grief for missing out: “You guys didn’t do Da Bomb either 👎🏼 #HotOnes,” referencing one of the pain tenders of their world’s worst agony brand.
Comedic in parts, slightly torturing, and together for the bonding love of the ones who are daytime viewers. The insight was casual enough to be a treat, depicting the people behind Kelly and Mark as more producers and crew members than just a few folks who sit behind screens and unwillingly partake of the fun spontaneous core of the show.
Whether that was the best choice with regards to hygiene is a question worth debating, but it made for great viewing. Supporting each other through unbearable spiciness is just another great way to remind us that team spirit is what is behind-the-scenes keeping the show rolling. Some of the best television moments occur when the hosts are not even in the limelight.

Recently, they have also shared new episodes of their ESPN series, further enriching their television journey.
