00:00 - I was really surprised about it.
00:01 - You were surprised?
00:02 - Yeah, because you slipped the tongue
00:03 and I was like, that's so weird.
00:04 - That's not true.
00:05 That is a lie. - That is so weird.
00:07 - I never French on set.
00:09 That's my own personal rule.
00:11 No Frenching on set. - No Frenching.
00:12 - Don't tell the kids.
00:13 - I am not answering this question.
00:15 - You would have tried to pull my braids
00:17 and I would have punched you in the face.
00:19 Do you ever get sick of me?
00:20 This is--
00:22 - Safe space. - This is a safe space.
00:23 Safe space.
00:24 - Good try, E.T.
00:26 - Hey there, I'm Kelly.
00:27 - And I'm Mark.
00:28 - And we are spilling the E.T.
00:30 - E.T.
00:31 - We've been married 27 years.
00:33 - Mm-hmm.
00:34 - But think way back.
00:35 What do you remember about our first kiss?
00:38 - Oh my gosh.
00:40 I think it, I mean, I remember it being very rehearsed
00:47 because it was an on-camera kiss.
00:48 - That's right.
00:49 - This is probably the toughest thing I've ever had to do.
00:51 Especially with her.
00:52 Did you see what she looks like?
00:53 - It's a really hard job,
00:55 but somebody's gotta kiss his mouth.
00:57 - I get paid to make out with the most gorgeous guy
00:59 on television.
01:00 - But for an on-camera kiss
01:01 that had a little bit more of a zing?
01:03 - I mean, I didn't mind it at all.
01:05 - Right.
01:06 - I really, you know, but again--
01:08 - I was really surprised about it.
01:09 - You were surprised?
01:10 - Yeah, because you slipped the tongue,
01:11 and I was like, that's so weird.
01:12 - That is so not true.
01:13 That is a lie. - That is so weird.
01:15 - That's a lie.
01:16 - But it was the '90s, so it was fast and loose back then.
01:18 - That's such a lie.
01:20 - Big tongue.
01:21 - That's a lie.
01:22 That is such a lie.
01:24 I never French on set.
01:26 That's my own personal rule.
01:28 No Frenching on set. - No Frenching.
01:29 (upbeat music)
01:31 - We went from part-time, long distance,
01:35 back when you were in Vancouver,
01:36 to working together.
01:39 Be honest.
01:40 Do you ever feel like we have too much together time?
01:44 Do you ever get sick of me?
01:46 This is--
01:47 - Safe space. - This is a safe space.
01:49 Safe space to say what you want.
01:51 - I hated being far apart from you.
01:53 Hated it.
01:55 It wasn't great.
01:56 I think that people think that we're on top
01:57 of each other all day.
01:58 We see each other for a few hours in the morning.
02:00 And oftentimes we don't see each other
02:02 'til dinner time nowadays.
02:04 'Cause we both are off doing different things.
02:06 So I don't think it's too much time.
02:10 There's no such thing.
02:11 - I don't think so either.
02:13 - What is something we've done
02:15 that we've never told the kids about?
02:18 - I'm trying to think.
02:19 That's a good one.
02:20 - Yeah, I mean--
02:22 - I mean, there are always--
02:23 - There's so many things that they're never
02:24 gonna know about.
02:25 - I mean--
02:26 - They're never going to know.
02:27 - I know, but I feel like everything we did
02:31 that they shouldn't know about,
02:32 we did before they arrived and ruined the party.
02:35 - That's right.
02:36 - You know what I mean? - Right.
02:37 - We did all kinds of things before--
02:38 - Good try, E.T.
02:40 Good try.
02:41 - What's the best part of being an empty nester?
02:45 - I wouldn't know.
02:46 Because we have our kids living with us all the time.
02:48 There's one, one leaves, one comes back.
02:50 - So true.
02:51 - No, I think the best part is that,
02:55 you know, we got married early,
02:57 and we had kids right off the bat.
03:00 Like we, a year later, a year and a half later,
03:02 we had Michael, so I think it's,
03:05 you know, getting to spend some time together
03:08 and do the things that we didn't really get to do.
03:11 - Yeah, when couples are like married
03:12 for like eight years or something before they have kids.
03:15 - Like last June, we went on a vacation without the kids,
03:18 'cause they all had stuff to do.
03:20 - That was amazing.
03:21 - And we just went, just the two of us.
03:22 It was great.
03:23 - We sat on benches and watched the sunset.
03:25 - It was amazing.
03:26 - It was great.
03:27 - Yeah, that was our favorite vacation.
03:28 Don't tell the kids.
03:29 - Yeah.
03:30 - We kept saying, we kept saying, don't tell the kids.
03:32 - And we missed them for like a couple days,
03:34 but then we just would do things that we wanted to do
03:37 that we knew that they were going to--
03:38 - Complain about.
03:39 - Complain about.
03:40 - Yeah, it was incredible.
03:41 - Yeah. - Yeah.
03:42 Okay, what do you consider my most annoying trait or habit?
03:47 Immunity, safe space.
03:50 - I am not answering this question.
03:51 (upbeat music)
03:53 Everyone has been talking about the era they're in,
03:56 the bitch era, the hot girl summer era,
03:58 (laughing)
03:59 the revenge era.
04:01 - Yeah.
04:01 - What is your era?
04:03 - Oh my gosh.
04:05 I think I'm just in the relaxed era.
04:08 I'm super relaxed.
04:10 I don't know if it's you being here
04:13 or if it's just comes with age
04:17 or a certain level of easiness we have with each other,
04:22 but I'm very relaxed.
04:24 I think it's probably the first time
04:26 I've ever been completely relaxed doing anything ever.
04:30 We've been married for 27 years,
04:33 but what is the one thing you have never told me?
04:36 And tell me now here on ET.
04:40 Spill the tea.
04:41 - Immunity?
04:42 - Immunity.
04:43 - Complete immunity.
04:44 - Complete immunity.
04:44 - Okay, here's something weird.
04:46 When I was thinking about things I wanted to do
04:50 as a career, as a young kid.
04:52 - Before you met me.
04:53 - Before I met you.
04:53 I thought I wanted to be a meteorologist.
04:57 - Makes so much sense.
05:00 This is surprising no one.
05:02 This makes so much sense.
05:03 - Why?
05:04 - Because you are fixated on the weather.
05:07 - Yes I am.
05:08 - You are constantly giving me weather updates.
05:10 - Yeah, it is gonna be hot.
05:12 There's a blistering late season heat wave
05:15 baking the eastern United States.
05:17 - You talk about cold fronts and low pressure points.
05:21 - Yes, yeah.
05:22 - Yeah.
05:23 We should get you one of those weather walls at home
05:27 to play with.
05:28 - That sounds something.
05:29 - Your turn.
05:30 - Okay, what is something you still wanna do
05:31 as a couple that we haven't done?
05:33 - Well, I think what we wanna do as a couple
05:35 are two separate things.
05:36 'Cause I wanna climb like,
05:39 I wanna either climb K2 or Everest,
05:42 and I don't think you wanna do that.
05:44 - Right, I don't wanna do that.
05:49 - Right.
05:50 - How about a safari?
05:51 - We could do that.
05:53 - You wanna do that?
05:54 - Yeah.
05:55 - You'd like to do that, right?
05:56 - Do that, yeah.
05:56 - You wanna do like a big trail?
05:57 Like we could do like a month long hiking trail?
06:01 - Yes, I would like to do that, but that's--
06:03 - But just not up a mountain.
06:04 Like not up where people die.
06:06 - Right.
06:08 You don't think you'll make it?
06:09 - No.
06:10 (laughing)
06:12 No, I'm claustrophobic and that seems weird.
06:14 - Okay, got it.
06:15 You think it's claustrophobic up there.
06:16 - I think it'd be up there.
06:17 Yeah, you just can't get out of there.
06:19 - Okay, so no mountain adventures
06:21 for Kelly and Mark anytime soon,
06:22 but it's not like they have time anyways.
06:25 They just kicked off season 36 of Live.
06:27 It's Mark's first season as Kelly's full-time co-host,
06:30 which means they got to show off the show's new open.
06:34 ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
06:36 ♪ It's always a good time ♪
06:37 - Do you get nervous before a new season
06:40 and how do you get over the nerves?
06:42 - Nerves.
06:43 I always get nervous before every show.
06:45 - You do?
06:46 - Every show I get nervous.
06:48 I breathe, I look in your beautiful eyes,
06:51 and I grab your arm and you grab mine
06:53 and we go out there and it's better.
06:56 - What would happen to you if you didn't get nervous?
06:59 - Oh, gosh, I'd probably be doing the wrong thing.
07:02 I like to be a little nervous in the things
07:04 that I love to do.
07:05 What surprised you most about co-hosting with me?
07:09 - I think what surprised me the most
07:11 is to learn that you don't wear underwear backstage.
07:16 Just kidding.
07:17 Just kidding.
07:18 I think what actually surprised me
07:21 is that you were able to make this show your own
07:26 in such a short amount of time.
07:30 - Huh.
07:31 - Yeah, that surprised me.
07:32 I don't know why, but it really did.
07:34 Who is the number one person on your bucket list
07:38 for us to interview?
07:39 - Ooh, gosh, right now,
07:41 I would say it would be Lionel Messi.
07:44 - Okay.
07:45 - He's tearing it up in the United States.
07:47 I'm so happy that he came to play here in our country.
07:50 He's just magic.
07:53 He's captured the imagination of the sports world,
07:56 the entertainment world.
07:58 All kinds of people are going to see him.
07:59 Tickets to stadiums are sold out.
08:01 I would love to have him on the show.
08:03 - Okay.
08:03 We should get on that.
08:06 - And/or Beckham.
08:08 - We're on it?
08:08 Okay.
08:09 - And Beckham as well.
08:10 - And Beckham, a two-parter.
08:12 - A two-parter.
08:13 - Yes, my dream and Mark's dream.
08:16 - If Mark's, when Mark's dream met Kelly's dream.
08:19 What is something that you've always wanted to ask me?
08:23 - Do you think if we met in like middle school
08:26 and fell in love that we would be married today?
08:30 - Yes, 100%.
08:32 - Same.
08:33 - Yeah.
08:34 I think about that all the time.
08:35 - Would you have beat me up?
08:36 - 100%.
08:37 - Yeah, I would have pulled your braids.
08:39 - You would have tried to pull my braids
08:41 and I would have punched you in the face
08:42 and then we'd be together forever.
08:46 I mean, this is, you know, back when kids used to rock.
08:48 - All right.
08:49 And what is something you always wanted to ask me?
08:51 - Something I always wanted to ask you.
08:56 How much do you think I weigh?
08:59 (laughing)
09:02 - No, you don't ask that.
09:05 - Something.
09:08 Oh, I want you to ask, oh, I know.
09:12 I want you to ask me, but not right now
09:15 because right now I'm working, so I'm like doing things.
09:18 But sometimes I want you to ask me what I'm thinking about.
09:21 - Oh, okay.
09:23 - 'Cause you ever notice how I always ask you,
09:25 what are you thinking about?
09:26 - Okay.
09:27 - And you give me an answer.
09:29 - Yeah.
09:30 - You never ask me back what I'm thinking about.
09:32 - 'Cause I'm scared.
09:33 (laughing)
09:38 - Scared of what, the answer?
09:38 - No, I'm not scared, no, I'm not scared.
09:40 Okay, I'll do that.
09:40 - I want you to ask me what I'm thinking about.
09:41 - I'll do that, I'll do that.
09:43 - All right, that's it.
09:45 - How'd we do?
09:46 - That was awesome.
09:47 (cheering)
