It started after Mandel and Ripa got into a slightly uncomfortable conversation on “Live With Kelly & Mark.” Initially, Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, complimented that Mandel looked great at age 70, and Ripa said, in a complimentary fashion, that “doesn’t make any sense.
”The “America’s Got Talent” judge then went off, starting with an emphatic, “No” and finger wag, saying, “No, I don’t like that because that’s a caveat. When you tell somebody that you’re 70, and they go you look great”Mandel went on in a joking but apparently irritated fashion and it was unclear if he was joking or genuinely upset. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 23: Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos attend ESPN's "Running With The Wolves" series premiere on July 23, 2025 in New York City. "I have been debating for 48 hours whether I should make this post or not. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing," said in a video posted Saturday. "Philosophically I don't believe that somebody who's a comedian needs to apologize for a joke. It is a joke. It is meant as a joke. And it's not meant to offend." Mandel explained that in his career, he’s never offered a public apology but noted this is a different scenario than making a joke on stage. He said in the video that the apology was “for Kelly Ripa, who in the past has been incredibly supportive.” "When I go out there, I just try to be entertaining and funny and sometimes as a comedian, things don't land the way you mean them to land. And I don't know how to say this, but not only do I want to say I'm sorry to Kelly but — and this is the hardest part — you're right."He joked that he did in fact look good at 70, joking, "You're absolutely right. I'm sorry I didn't see it that way. And after a lot of thought and self-reflection I do. I look great for my age. I really do. I look fantastic."As the weather warms and spring break approaches, there’s no better place for families to reconnect with nature, wildlife, and each other than the Columbus ZooAn endangered child alert was canceled Monday in Pike County after law-enforcement officials said the girl was found safe.The alert had covered Pike, Adams, HigA jury declined to indict a father who allegedly fatally shot his daughter in the chest following an argument about President Donald Trump.Sources familiar with the situation said TSA employees who received the gift cards were asked over the weekend to return them.Central Ohio communities gathered in grief and gratitude as three airmen killed in a refueling aircraft crash in Iraq were brought home to be laid to rest.
