'Live with Kelly & Ryan' Suspends Studio Audience Due To Coronavirus

Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest will be performing their morning show, Live with Kelly & Ryan, without a studio audience due to Coronavirus.

“As you can see, things are a little different here today,” Ryan said on the show on Wednesday (March 11). “Given the developing situation in New York with the Coronavirus, the decision was made to suspend audiences from our show.”

“That shouldn’t stop everyone from watching at home, because face it, you can’t go anywhere else,” Kelly added. “Our show must go on, so let’s do this thing….While we don’t have our regular studio audiences, except for some of our producers who are obviously being punished for something. You obviously really screwed up, guys!”

“This is going to be an embarrassing hour,” Ryan joked. “I feel like we’re auditioning. It feels like we’re doing a pilot. ‘Let’s test Kelly and Ryan and see how they are.’“
