Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos recently delighted fans with a hilarious parody of Nicole Kidman's iconic 2021 AMC Theatres commercial. The couple shared the parody on Instagram, teasing their upcoming Academy Awards aftershow.
In the parody video, Ripa and Consuelos recreated the original commercial, complete with matching blue and silver pinstripe suits and identical intro narration. The video starts with Ripa walking through a puddle in heels before revealing the couple in their movie theater setting.
The duo then watch a series of movie trailers, including parodies of classic films like A Few Good Men, Princess Bride, There's Something About Mary, Basic Instinct, and Dirty Dancing. The couple even reenacts the famous lift scene from Dirty Dancing, with Consuelos delivering the iconic line, 'Nobody puts Kelly in a corner.'
Additionally, the couple parodied the Oscar-nominated blockbuster Barbie, with Ripa dressed head-to-toe in pink as she cruises in a convertible, while Consuelos portrays Ken in the backseat.
During the movie trailers, viewers see Ripa and Consuelos getting emotional and even shedding a tear at some points. The video ends with a glimpse of what to expect on Live's After the Oscars episode, featuring discussions on Oscars fashion, a musical performance by Andy Grammer, and comedic insights from Sebastian Maniscalco.
The episode will also have Jesse Palmer as a red carpet correspondent, with Ripa and Consuelos interviewing Oscar winners backstage. This year's show is particularly special as it marks Consuelos's first time hosting the After the Oscars show as a permanent cohost.
The 2024 Oscars, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will air live from Los Angeles on ABC at 7 p.m. ET. Fans can look forward to an entertaining and star-studded evening celebrating the best in cinema.
