The 48-year-old host has been part of the show for the past six years, but he’s set to wrap his run very soon.

Last month, Ryan shocked fans when he announced on air that he will be leaving Live with Kelly and Ryan later this year.
He then went on to share that Kelly’s husband, Mark Consuelos, will be taking his spot as co-host.
The only other detail Ryan had shared about his departure was that it will take place this spring.
On Wednesday, though, he gave another update on when he will be leaving Live with Kelly and Ryan.
Idris Elba helped get the scoop for fans during his guest appearance on the show.
The beloved actor asked: “So, Ryan, I hear you might be leaving?”
The host said there was no might about it, as it’s definitely happening.
“I am,” Ryan told Idris. “In a couple of weeks.”
The guest was shocked and quickly responded, “No way!”
But the American Idol star promised: “It’s going to be a fun last few weeks.”
“I’m really sad to see you go, really,” Idris insisted.
While Ryan hasn’t yet given the exact date of his final episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan, it’s likely it’ll occur just before American Idol begins its live shows.
As the pre-taped audition episodes are currently airing, the live episodes, which air from Los Angeles, will likely begin in April.
This would line up with Ryan’s tease that he only had a “few weeks” left on Live.
When Ryan first announced his impending exit last month, he told his co-host: “This has been the greatest time for me. I can’t thank you enough.”
She sweetly replied: “There is nobody else like you. There is nobody that can really do what you do.
“I know you in real life and in TV life and I say this about very few people. What you see is what you get.
“This is not an act. This is a good man. And I am so just endlessly impressed by you.”
Ryan stayed silent and looked solemn as his co-host said such kind words.
She continued: “I hope and pray that you keep us informed about your personal life and I promise I will barely announce anything here on the show.”
“I feel the same about you,” Ryan said. “I promise.”
