Live with Kelly and Mark heads into holiday mode on Monday, June 30, with a mix of stars, summer tips, and a nod to Independence Day. The ABC daytime staple airs live at 9:00 AM ET and starts the week with a red, white, and blue energy boost.
First up is Evan Handler, stepping in to discuss the latest from And Just Like That. With Season 3 in production, fans of the Sex and the City spinoff can expect a few updates and possibly some well-placed teases. Handler remains one of the show’s most consistent presences, and his return to the Live couch comes with perfect timing.
Joining him is Mason Thames, the rising star tapped for the live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon. With the film just released, Thames is expected to share what it’s like bringing a beloved animated franchise into the real world. The film is one of Universal’s biggest family bets for 2025, and interest is already building fast.
Holiday prep takes centre stage in the lifestyle segment, with Shannon Doherty walking viewers through her top picks for Fourth of July entertaining. Her focus is on fast, effective upgrades—easy recipes, quick-decor hacks, and low-lift ideas to elevate backyard gatherings without burning out the host.
Rounding out the hour, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos open up the “Bingo Blitz Inbox,” giving airtime to questions, shout-outs, and offbeat messages from viewers. It keeps the tone casual and interactive, a reliable format that’s become a crowd-pleaser in the current season.
