Married couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos faced more criticism on social media on their second day hosting Live Together.

God I don’t know with them together, one viewer tweeted. I am not a fan. I loved Ryan and all of his stories, he brought another layer to the show.

Kelly and Mark look uncomfortable together, it’s hard to watch. Mark as the replacement co-host was fun to watch. It’s no longer fun to watch. I need Ryan.

Sore! When does Mark finish his own sentences?? noted one less than impressed fan. Boring, changed channels. Goodbye live!

Another added so I’m sorry but that won’t work. It’s like a morning reality show with a failed couple. I’m sure those in higher places see it. I’m sure there are nice people there but you’re not going.

The pair have their supporters with a fan berating the critics.

Mark Consuelos is now the permanent co-host alongside his wife, Kelly Ripa, on Live.ABC

Give him time, he’s nervous.

The duo received mixed reviews for their first ABC show as permanent co-hosts with Ripa, 52, accused of talking to and interrupting her husband, also 52.

I’m so happy to see Mark and Kelly this morning. But Kelly could PLEASE LET HIM TALK. !!! OH MY GOD! Let him start and end a story in his own way. This is the only way it works, another person wrote.

This show today really felt like home, the actor told Us Weekly on Monday. I always feel at home with Kelly, but [working] together this morning felt so good.

He added that the couple have always felt comfortable when they are together, and he feels lucky that we are able to do so on a daily basis as co-hosts.

I can’t wait to see where we can go from here, he added.

Ripa, also praised her husband’s debut, telling the magazine that she thought he had done an amazing and better job than (she) ever thought possible. It’s a natural, and I have a good feeling it’s going to be great for a while.
