On October 1st, 2025, longtime Live With Kelly and Mark producer Michael Gelman was honored with induction into the prestigious Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame. The ceremony in New York City was marked by emotional tributes from the show's hosts, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, who praised Gelman's remarkable 42-year tenure at the program.
Ripa acknowledged that Gelman's award was "long overdue and so well deserved," noting the difficulty of keeping a talk show relevant and successful over such an extended period. Consuelos echoed this sentiment, marveling at Gelman's ability to navigate the various iterations of the show, from its early days with Regis Philbin to the current pairing of Ripa and Consuelos.
