Ripa playfully addressed the "Live" studio audience twice during an interview with Nicola Coughlan: "Calm down you Gen Z perverts!"
After telling people of the world to cover up their "burned fruit" genitalia, Kelly Ripa has again taken (playful) aim at global perverts — this time within her own Live audience.
As Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos welcomed Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan to the show on Wednesday, the 53-year-old comically called out members of the studio crowd watching the interview after they cheered at the mere mention of the Netflix drama's notorious sex scenes.
"They’re cinch-ey, they used them in the ‘50s, so you can bend. I wanted to move a little differently this season. She’s a bit more womanly, she’s got to move her hips a little bit," Coughlan said of her character's more liberating wardrobe this season, which got a big round of applause from the audience.
Ripa then turned to them and shouted, “Calm down, you Gen Z perverts," before asking Coughlan if there will be more "sexy scenes" viewers can expect when season 3 debuts on Thursday.
“Just a couple. I think it’s probably the steamiest one yet," Coughlan said, which elicited another round of applause — and, naturally, another shout-out from Ripa. "You guys are a bunch of pervs!" she said.
Ripa and Consuelos have, however, titillated eyeballs across the last year of cohosting the morning talk show together, including when they traded on-air foot massages (Ripa called out "WikiFeet weirdos" at the time, though) and mounted a segment that saw Consuelos strip down to a skin-tight wrestling singlet.
