In a delightful display of camaraderie and friendly competition, Mark Consuelos and Jane Krakowski engaged in a rematch on Live with Kelly and Mark. The former 30 Rock star returned to the show, donning an 'I Stumped Mark' T-shirt, ready to challenge the Riverdale actor once again.

The game in question, cleverly named 'Stump Mark,' required Consuelos to discern the truth from two statements presented by Krakowski. With sixty seconds on the clock, Krakowski calmly presented her options. One statement recounted her fervent love for the musical Rent, having seen it a staggering 20 times on stage. The other involved her participation in a New Jersey ice skating competition, leading to her involvement in another contest in Lake Placid, New York.

Despite his best efforts, Consuelos found himself completely stumped by Krakowski's flawless delivery. Acknowledging her skill, he exclaimed, 'God, you're good! You're good.' Interestingly, Consuelos, taking into account Krakowski's background as a child actor, was certain that her claim of seeing Rent multiple times was true. However, much to his chagrin, he answered incorrectly, resulting in Krakowski's victory declaration of 'Give me the shirt!'

Playfully, Consuelos got up from his seat, smiling, and walked off the set. Meanwhile, Kelly Ripa, the show's co-host, stood up and embraced the triumphant Krakowski. Consuelos eventually returned, posing a lighthearted question, 'That doesn't count against my record, right?'

This wasn't the first time Krakowski managed to stump Consuelos. Four months prior, during a similar game, Consuelos had to determine whether the vibrant actress held the Guinness World Record for being part of the largest tap dance line or if she was a former runner-up in the Miss New Jersey Teen USA competition. Unfortunately for Consuelos, he incorrectly chose the latter option and suffered another loss.

The playful banter and good-natured competition between Consuelos and Krakowski provided viewers with a fun and entertaining segment on Live with Kelly and Mark. As avid fans remember, this rematch occurred due to Consuelos being bested by Krakowski in their previous encounter. While Consuelos may have left empty-handed this time, Krakowski proudly walked away with another Kelly and Mark mug, as well as an extremely coveted 'I Stumped Mark Again' T-shirt, one of only three in existence according to Ripa.
