This special anniversary was about showing "Live" co-host Kelly Ripa loads of love and all the accolades.
The couple walked out onto the now-titled "Live with Kelly and Mark" set on Monday's show holding hands as "2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)" by Lizzo played.
It's a bittersweet moment for fans of the show, who have watched Ryan and Kelly form a special bond and share unforgettable moments with their viewers over the years.
Even though the champagne carpet is gone, the thrill and excitement surrounding the Oscars was still alive Monday morning as "Live with Kelly and Ryan" returned for its annual post-Oscar show.
'Live with Kelly and Ryan' returns for their annual post-Oscar show that takes place on the same stage where Jimmy Kimmel hosts the show. They welcome winners, special celebrity guests, and two thousand of their biggest fans who get up early to be in the audience.
Ryan's spot will be filled by actor Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa's husband.
