With the addition of the Riverdale actor as its newest co-host,

Live with Kelly and Ryan, 52, has changed its name to Live with Kelly and Mark.

[{"selector":"#anim-3e8c0c30-0422-4835-802e-89582f6455d6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":9000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The significant adjustment will begin with Monday's new episode,

[{"selector":"#anim-7ecefdf9-57df-4520-9c20-07bc144e9aa9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":9000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

which will mark the first airing of the program under its new name and with its new co-hosting team.

They shared a promo video with Kelly and Mark on the show's official Instagram and urged viewers to set their DVRs for the new name of the show.

However, many critics condemned the new couple in the comments and stated they believed the show was about to end.
