Daytime TV Host Shares Hilarious Reaction to Iconic Series
Kelly Ripa, co-host of the popular morning show Live with Kelly and Mark, recently shared a lighthearted confession about her binge-watching experience of the critically acclaimed series Breaking Bad. During a candid segment on her show, Ripa humorously remarked that she believed she could "probably make crystal meth" after watching the series, which chronicles the life of a chemistry teacher turned drug manufacturer.
"I mean, Walter White made it look so easy!" she joked, referencing Bryan Cranston's iconic portrayal of the character. "I started thinking, ‘Do I have what it takes to do this in a pinch?’ Of course, I don’t—just to be clear!”
Her comment drew laughter from the audience and her co-host, Mark Consuelos, who chimed in with, “I think we should stick to coffee-making, Kel.”
Inspired by New Mexico's Scenic Beauty
In addition to her amusing takeaway from the show, Ripa revealed that Breaking Bad piqued her interest in New Mexico, where the series was filmed. The show’s stunning desert landscapes left such an impression that she and her husband have been considering purchasing a vacation home in the area.
