LIVE host Kelly Ripa has revealed her strong feelings during a heated debate at the start of Thursday’s episode, and it led to her throwing a prop.
The 52-year-old TV personality included producer Art Moore in one the show’s controversial segments, and she tossed the item away in solidarity with his opinion.

Early on in Thursday’s episode, Kelly and her new Live co-host, husband Mark Consuelos, discussed a topic all about fashion.
The Riverdale actor read a newspaper article claiming that “men who live by tired style rules that ban certain color pairings are missing out.”
Mark went through some of the different combos the article suggested and revealed he’s tried many of them himself.
Then both he and his wife admitted that when it comes to style, they “think about one man only.”

They both agreed that their producer Art has a great fashion sense and turned to him to get his thoughts on the subject.
The camera panned to show Art wearing blue loafers, navy pants, and a blue blazer.
Kelly asked if he would ever think to pair his blue blazer with black pants, as the article suggested, and he quickly shot that idea down.
“So, this article is not for you,” Kelly told him.

Mark added: “He maintains the rules.”
Kelly agreed, insisting Art has “very strict fashion rules” but that she goes “by what Art says," not by what the newspaper says.
The host then looked down at the paper on her desk in disgust and furiously threw it in the air behind her, while shouting: “Puh-lease!”
Art just laughed and thanked Kelly for having his back on the topic.
Aside from tossing props on set, there have also been a few other surprises on the show since Mark recently took over for Ryan Seacrest, including some blunders.
Last week, Kelly had to jump in to correct her husband after he slipped up while congratulating a fan on winning a trip after the show.
As part of Live's Grow for it Spring Trivia segment, a viewer ended up earning a week-long vacation in Panama, where she would get to stay at the Los Establos Boutique Hotel in Boquete.
Following the fan's win, Mark shared his happiness for her achievement.
"I am really glad that you're going to Mexico," Mark said confidently, despite a video of the prize package having just played.
His wife Kelly quickly and bluntly corrected: "No, she's going to Panama!"
"I'm really glad you're going to Panama," Mark then said as he put his down in laughter and embarrassment, as his wife joined him in the uncomfortable hysterics.
