After Kelly teased that their show will be “off the rails,” Mark added, “It’s indescribable [and] we’re super, super grateful.”
“I had filled in so many times and had a blast every single time,” the Nine Lives actor said about his previous guest cohosting appearances. “Some people would die to have this opportunity. No one does it like she does… I can’t think of anybody that I feel more safe with, and protected by, than Kelly.”
The pair also teased that viewers can expect to see them discuss their marital issues on the show.
“We’re not afraid to go there,” Kelly told the outlet. “We have the confidence in our marriage that no matter what we discuss, I don’t mind being the villain in the argument, nor does Mark. Neither one of us needs to be the hero.”
