Kelly Ripa calls out Live talk show crew twice for ‘ruining’ her on-air moment with ‘bad technology’

KELLY Ripa has sarcastically called out Live on air for showing a grainy, low-quality clip to accompany a story she told.

Kelly spoke about actress and friend Finola Hughes on Tuesday's episode of the show before bringing her guest out.

"I've known her a long time. She's the woman who taught me to curse properly," Kelly said of Finola.

She continued: "But she is a knitter also. She's an advanced knitter. Not like me where I know just how to make the scarf, etc."

Co-host Ryan Seacrest interjected: "You're a new knitter."

Kelly agreed: "I'm a newer knitter than she is. She's a lifelong knitter."

She gestured with her hands before continuing.

Kelly said: "She's like, 'see how I'm making this look lke it's antique lace?' And I'm like, is that a perl, or what are you doing there?"

"So do you sit next to each other, or…" Ryan asked, confused.

"We sit next to each other," Kelly replied. "I made, like, a little timelapse video of our knitting. I don't know if we have it up there, but I did it" she trailed off before the video appeared onscreen.

Unfortunately, it was extremely blurry and hard to make out both figures.

You could just make out that one person was Kelly, but the graininess prevented any real impact the video could have had.

Kelly commented on that as well.

"Oh, look," Kelly said. "Our technology has slown my video."

"What quality?" asked Ryan with a laugh."

"Yeah, what quality, guys?" Kelly agreed, lamenting how it "ruined" the moment she had called back to.

Kelly went back to her friend's knitting prowess after the sarcastic remark.

Later, she noted that the crew could add a sound effect to a video, but not show a "clear" bit of footage.

Ryan was in the middle of telling some jokes with some very painful punchlines.

"You know what I resent? I'm gonna tell you what I resent right now. You guys could come out with the "badoom-tshh", you could make this noise, but you couldnt make my timelapse video look normal," she seethed.

Laughing, she and Ryan continued the show.

WOAH, KELL!

Meanwhile, Kelly surprised fans after she called her co-host Ryan Seacrest a "monster" for making an NSFW comment on-air.

On Monday, the talk show hosts introduced a new game, Grow For It Trivia, to kick off the first day of spring.

For the game, the duo was challenged to guess which statement provided by a fan was true or false.

Kelly, 52, and Ryan, 48, asked their caller a series of questions to assist them in the guessing game, with only one minute to answer.

The competing statements were: "I have a treehouse in my yard that sleeps two adults," and "I have a 50 foot long butterfly garden."

They tried to get more intel by taking turns with their questions, though Ryan's were a bit more personal than Kelly's.

"Did you or your spouse build the treehouse?" Kelly kicked off, to which the caller confirmed they did.

"And was it made for you?" she followed.

"It was made just for us," the caller replied.

But Ryan attempted to get more details about the supposed treehouse and asked: "And what do you do in the treehouse?"

Kelly looked at her co-host, seemingly taken aback by his prying.

"We climb up the ladder, have a little wine, sleeping bags, and just chill out," the fan explained.

WOAH, RYAN!

Ryan smiled and laughed at the contestant's response before saying, "sounds romantic."

Kelly defended the caller's reply to her colleague: "She's not going to tell you more than that because she's a lady, you monster."

Ryan clapped back: "But she'll tell you. I've seen your bond."

His co-host joked: "Well, no, Rose will tell me off-line what they really get up to up there."

The pair continued with their questions, which eventually sparked Ryan's confidence in his guess.

However, the caller was not able to stump the hosts and lost out on winning a Live with Kelly and Ryan mug.

But she instead got to spin the prize wheel and earned herself an even bigger reward in the end.

After naming the location where Ryan's parents recently celebrated their anniversary, which Ryan mentioned days earlier on the show, the caller won a trip to a luxury resort in Panama.

The hosts expressed their happiness for the contestant before cutting to a commercial break.

KELLY'S TURN

Ryan's comment was not the first time an NSFW topic was brought up on the show.

During a recent broadcast, the TV star shared with fans a throwback of him from his early DJ-ing days as they briefly discussed his long-time career in the radio industry.

The snap displayed a 15-year-old Ryan standing behind a table in the mall cluttered with papers, wearing what appeared to be DJ headphones.

Behind him in the photo was a store called Dolcis.

Ryan admitted that he wished there were "more stores in the back" of him in the photo so fans could see "Spencer's Gifts."

Spencer's Gifts, an extension of the controversial store Spencer's, specializes in novelty and gag gifts.

Once Ryan began to describe Spencer's Gifts, Kelly took it from there, adding what she remembered about the store.

"All of the fun gag gifts were in Spencer's in the mall," Ryan revealed before Kelly asked him if he "remembered" the "scandalous section."

"'Member the scandalous section where they had like edible underwear?" Kelly asked him.

Ryan just laughed and pivoted the conversation to the food courts in the mall as he ignored Kelly's input.

After this season, Kelly and Ryan fans will no longer see the pair's silly banter since the latter will be leaving soon.

Ryan announced last month his departure from the show after six years as co-host.

Instead, Kelly's husband, Mark Consuelos, 51, who often filled in for Ryan when needed, will take his place beginning April 17.
