Mark Consuelos accidentally cuts himself with a knife during “Live” cooking segment: 'Piece of nail in there'

Consuelos asked "Top Chef" personality Eric Ripert if he could cut shallots for their dish, and Ripert warned him about the blade's sharpness.

Note to celebrity chefs: Maybe don't let Mark Consuelos handle sharp objects on live television.

The actor and talk-show cohost accidentally cut himself during a cooking segment Friday morning on Live With Kelly and Mark, as he and his wife, Kelly Ripa, welcomed Top Chef guest judge and Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown personality Eric Ripert to cook a tasty dish.

Ripa began chopping the vegetables with gingerly grace after admitting that she had both "terrible knife skills" and a deep fear that she'd cut her fingers off in the process. But Ripert assured the couple that it's actually "easy" to slice things up, which prompted Consuelos to step in and assert, "Let me try, chef!"

Ripert cautioned Consuelos as he picked up the blade. "Don't cut yourself, please, because the man is looking at me," she said with a laugh, seemingly referencing longtime Live producer Michael Gelman, who was standing out of frame.

Shortly after taking the knife, Consuelos' hand recoiled, and Ripa confirmed that he'd just cut himself.

"I think I got a piece of nail in there," Consuelos joked as Ripa handed him a towel, which he held over his left hand for a few moments before continuing with the segment, which finished without further incident.
