Overview
- Host Mark Consuelos asked caller Lisa Best to “swear on your kids” about a Dolly Parton festival claim during the Stump Mark game on Live With Kelly and Mark, a moment captured on the May 20 episode.
- Best declined to answer the request and Kelly Ripa immediately intervened, telling the caller she did not have to respond and calling her husband’s move unacceptable.
- Consuelos then guessed that Best had performed at the Grand Ole Opry and was wrong, prompting loud audience reaction and on-air teasing from Ripa.
- Entertainment outlets reported the exchange on May 21, framing it as a surprising viral moment from a routine interactive segment and noting there have been no reported apologies or formal complaints.
- The episode underlines how live, competitive TV segments can push conversational boundaries and produce fast-moving clips that draw public attention without long-term consequences so far.
