Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos recently returned from a vacation in Switzerland, bringing back more than just memories of scenic landscapes. On a Tuesday morning episode of “Live With Kelly and Mark,” the couple shared a humorous and somewhat intimate experience they had with airport security during their European trip.
Ripa recounted how she set off a metal detector at the airport, leading to an unexpected frisking. “In Switzerland, I got beeped,” she said, explaining that she had to remove her shoes to ensure they weren’t the cause. Despite this, the metal detector continued to beep, prompting a more thorough check. “They wanded me, nothing beeped. I got frisked!” she exclaimed.
Consuelos, always quick with a joke, chimed in, “Check her again!” as his wife continued her story. Ripa described the frisking as surprisingly gentle. “I got frisked, which, I’ve gotta tell you, it was a gentle frisking,” she said. “They’re frisking me, and I was like, go for it! Go all the way for it. Second base.”
The audience erupted in laughter as Ripa humorously added, “Anyway, we got to second base, we exchanged phone numbers for later. There was nothing, it was like a random beeping.”
Consuelos then shared his own amusing airport security story, recalling a young man who had to be patted down both in the front and the back. “If you’re going to touch me in the front, I want it in the back,” Ripa joked, eliciting more laughter from the audience. “Don’t leave me hanging!”
Consuelos added his own quip, “Sometimes, you’ve gotta kiss me first. But just sometimes. Depends how late it is.”
This isn’t the first time the couple has shared their humorous encounters with airport security. On a previous episode of “Live With Kelly and Mark,” Consuelos revealed that his crotch once set off a security machine. “There’s no extra zipper, no extra rivets, nothing,” he recalled. “On the way back home from California, I got stopped again. This time, they just said random. So, I went through. He had to do it again, and he puts on a glove. I’m like, what are we doing? This is just second base, no? We’re just doing second base!”
The couple’s lighthearted take on these experiences highlights their ability to find humor in everyday situations, even those that might be uncomfortable or awkward for others. Their playful banter and willingness to share these moments with their audience have endeared them to fans, making their show a must-watch for many.
