Kelly RipaandMark Consuelosare kicking off the 36th season ofLivewith a brand-new show opening.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive First Look atLive with Kelly and Mark’s new open, which will premiere with the talk show’s new season on Tuesday, the husband and wife duo can be seen getting ready to start their day.
After brushing their teeth in their apartment and a couple of outfit changes each — Ripa settles on a pink midi shirt dress and Consuelos a maroon jumper and dark gray pants — the couple then travels to theLivestudio in New York City.
The camera then pans through the corridors until it reaches the studio and sweeps across the audience, before visiting announcer Déjà Vu (who joined the show in 2021) on her platform.
Ripa and Consuelos, both 52, even show off their dancing skills in the new opening, with Ripa twirling into her husband during a slow-motion shot.

The show’s new season will then officially begin on Tuesday, and along with a new show open, it will bring with it a new on-air trivia game called “STUMP MARK!”
“Mark will try his darnedest to keep the covetedLivemug away from trivia callers trying to stump him with their two statements — one true, one false,” the press release reads.
