‘Live with Kelly and Mark' will debut new Hudson Square set on April 14 — but will shoot from ‘cafeteria' until then
'Live' from the cafeteria!
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' big move to ABC and Disney's swanky new Hudson Square headquarters is a bit delayed, it seems. The husband and wife co-hosts of the morning show will officially broadcast from their new set on April 14, but we're told they'll have to film near the buffet until then.
'They're basically going to be doing it from the cafeteria lobby… because they don't have a studio,' an insider told Page Six.
Another insider described the location as a 'gorgeous open sprawling space near the cafeteria.' 'It's amazing!,' they insisted.
'They're just putting the final touches on the studio, but everyone is thrilled to be in this new Disney building,' they said.
Disney has previously hosted movie premieres and events in the temporary space.
A production source confirmed, 'We will be broadcasting our show live next week from the beautiful 10th floor in our new building while we put the final touches on our studio.'
Ripa and Consuelos taped their final show from 7 Lincoln Square, the show's studio of 37 years, on Tuesday. Sources described the goodbye as 'bittersweet.' Ripa, who joined the show in 2001 as co-host to Regis Philbin, reminisced about their kids growing up in building, which is now somewhat decrepit.
The show aired a re-run from November on Wednesday after the big move. We hear they'll return to live shows starting Monday. The hosting couple and their TV crew join ABC News and ABC/Disney shows like 'The View' and 'Tamron Hall.' 'Everyone is very excited,' the production source said.
We hear that next week guests will including Elizabeth Moss, Jay Shetty, Bradley Whitford, Walton Goggins, Tracee Ellis Ross, Yvonne Strahovski, Matthew Rhys, Chrissy Metz, Bryce Dallas Howard and Hailee Steinfeld.

Hollywood enters AI scraping wars with new lawsuit from Disney and NBCUniversal
Disney (DIS) and NBCUniversal sued an artificial intelligence developer for allegedly infringing on their protected works, the first Hollywood corporate titans to join a mushrooming legal war pitting copyright holders against AI upstarts training their models with data scraped from the internet. In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in a Los Angeles Federal District Court, Disney and NBCUniversal said that AI image-creating platform Midjourney pirated images without authorization. Midjourney obtained copies of Disney's Star Wars, Minions, and other characters through unauthorized libraries containing works from two Hollywood studios, according to the complaint. Its software allows people to create images from the companies' popular fictional characters, the suit said. The companies included AI-generated images of characters ranging from Darth Vader and Buzz Lightyear to the Minions and Spider-Man. 'Piracy is piracy, and whether an infringing image or video is made with AI or another technology does not make it any less infringing,' Disney said in its complaint. Midjourney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company is defending itself in another federal case in California brought by artists who allege Midjourney illegally trained its AI image generation models on their copyrighted works. The latest confrontation expands the number of high-profile cases from copyright holders seeking to guard their works from the reach of technology firms. A question at the heart of all these lawsuits: Can artificial intelligence companies use copyrighted material to train generative AI models without asking the owner of that data for permission? Another such clash came earlier this week when social media site Reddit (RDDT) sued AI startup Anthropic ( a company backed by tech giants Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL) that created the AI language model Claude. Reddit is claiming in the new lawsuit that Anthropic intentionally scraped Reddit users' personal data without their consent and then put their data to work training Claude. Reddit said in its complaint that Anthropic "bills itself as the white knight of the AI industry" and argues that "it is anything but." Anthropic said last year that it had blocked its bots from Reddit's website, according to the complaint. But Reddit said Anthropic 'continued to hit Reddit's servers over one hundred thousand times.' An Anthropic spokesperson said, "We disagree with Reddit's claims and will defend ourselves vigorously." Anthropic is also defending itself against a separate suit from music publishers, including Universal Music Group (0VD.F), ABKCO, and Concord, alleging that Anthropic infringed on copyrights for Beyoncé, the Rolling Stones, and other artists as it trained Claude on lyrics to more than 500 songs. Courts haven't settled on a definitive answer to the question of whether artificial intelligence companies can use copyrighted material to train generative AI models without permission. However, last February, the US District Court for Delaware handed copyright holder Thomson Reuters a win in a case that could impact what data training models can legally collect. The court granted Thomson Reuters' request for summary judgment, saying that its competitor, Ross, infringed on its copyrights by using lawsuit summaries to train its AI model. The court rejected Ross's argument that it could use the summaries under the concept of fair use, which allows copyrights to be used for news reporting, teaching, research, criticism, and commentary. One big name featuring prominently in some of these clashes is OpenAI ( the creator of chatbot ChatGPT that is run by Sam Altman and backed by Microsoft (MSFT). Comedian Sarah Silverman has accused the companies in a lawsuit of copying material from her book and 7 million pirated works in order to train its AI systems. Parenting website Mumsnet has also accused OpenAI of scraping its six-billion-word database without consent. But perhaps the most prominent case targeting OpenAI is from the New York Times (NYT), which in 2023 filed a lawsuit accusing OpenAI and Microsoft of illegally using millions of the news outlet's published stories to train OpenAI's language models. The newspaper has said that ChatGPT at times generates query answers that closely mirror its original publications. Last week, OpenAI called the lawsuit "baseless" and appealed a judge's recent order in that case requiring the AI developer to preserve 'output data' generated by ChatGPT. OpenAI and Microsoft are using a defense similar to those raised in other AI training copyright disputes: that the Times' publicly available content falls under the fair use doctrine and, therefore, can be used to train its models. Getty Images is trying to chip away at that same argument in lawsuits in the US and United Kingdom filed in 2023 against AI image generation startup Stability. The UK case went to trial on Monday. Stability argues that fair use (or "fair dealing" as it's known in the UK) justified training its technology, Stable Diffusion, on copyrighted Getty material. That same defense has hallmarks of justification that Google has been asserting for the past two decades to fight lawsuits claiming it violated copyright laws when pulling information into results for users' search queries. In 2005, the Authors Guild sued Google over millions of books that the tech giant scanned and made available in 'snippets' to online searchers. Google didn't pay for the copyrighted information but did provide word-for-word pieces of the copyrighted works in search results. The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reasoned in a decision that Google's scanning project tested the limits of fair use but was 'transformative' and therefore protected under fair use law. In 2016, Getty Images sued Google over similar claims, alleging that Google violated its copyrights and antitrust law by displaying Getty's high-resolution images in Google search results.

Sutter Pediatric patients get a Disney surprise
( — Children and their families at Sutter Medical Center got a special surprise Tuesday, as they were treated to a tropical-themed party, a private screening of the hit new live-action 'Lilo and Stitch' movie and a visit from Stitch himself in full costume. 'Sometimes these events can really help them feel like they're not in the hospital,' explained Sara Anderson, pediatric manager of integrated therapies at Sutter Children's Center. 'We all remember going to Disneyland and we see a character, how special it is. But imagine being a child in the hospital and having a character come to you, and how that can just really lift your spirits. And we always focus on helping children be more comfortable while they're here. And this is just a natural way for them to have something to experience that really brings happiness.' The event was put together in partnership with Disney and Starlight Children's Foundation. Disney calls it a movie party in a box. Kids come away with souvenirs and memories to cherish. 'We wanted to bring the magic of 'Lilo and Stitch' to a children's hospital,' said Dvorah Waldman, director of corporate social responsibility for Disney.' It's incredible to see the joy on their faces and the happiness that it brings. And just a moment of happiness, a moment of joy in an otherwise really difficult experience for a lot of these kids and families.' 'It made me feel like I was in the movie just standing with him saying, 'Hi, my name is Grace and this is my friend Stitch,'' said nine-year-old patient, Grace, after meeting Stitch. 'Amazing, cool, awesome and ten out of ten.' 'It creates a very family environment for the hospital,' added Grace's mom, Jessica Stevenson. 'And with her having to stay here, it's a blessing that she gets to be part of this.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Roseanne Barr Claims The Conners Wanted Her Back — Here's What the EPs Told Us About a Possible Cameo
In a new documentary chronicling her career in comedy and television, Roseanne Barr alleges that she was asked to appear on The Conners as a ghost, after her family matriarch landed six feet under. 'They called me and asked me if I would like to come back as a guest star,' the Emmy winner claims in Roseanne Is America, according to People. 'You're asking me to come back to the show that you f—king stole from me and killed my a—, and now you want me to show up because you got s—t f—king ratings and play a ghost.' More from TVLine The Conners Was a Good Revival — But If They'd Honored Roseanne History, It Could've Been Great The Conners Series Finale: EPs Reflect on Roseanne's Absence, Fourth Wall Break and Parallels to Original Ending Casting News: Felicity Huffman Joins Doc, Jen Garner Drama Adds Chloë Sevigny and More Barr insists that she turned down the request, telling producers, 'I'm gonna be bowling that f—king week.' But a source tells TVLine that Barr's claims are 'inaccurate.' TVLine reached out to Barr's rep for further clarification on when, exactly, she received the invite. Barr declined comment. Barr was famously fired by ABC in 2018 after she hit send on a bigoted tweet that nearly took her sitcom family down with her. But the beloved series, not unlike the working-class family at its center, persevered: Three weeks after Roseanne was cancelled, Barr reached a financial settlement with Werner Entertainment that allowed the production company to move forward with a spinoff without her participation. That agreement also forbade The Conners from using her likeness — hence the offshoot never showing Roseanne Conner in pictures or in flashbacks. When the agreement was reached, Barr put out the following statement: 'I regret the circumstances that have caused me to be removed from Roseanne. I agreed to the settlement in order that 200 jobs of beloved cast and crew could be saved, and I wish the best for everyone involved.' Seven years later, ahead of The Conners' series finale, TVLine spoke with executive producers Bruce Helford, Bruce Rasmussen and Dave Caplan, and asked if they considered having Barr make a cameo. At the time, Helford was quick to remind me, 'We pulled a Newhart the first time!' (He was referring to 2018's Roseanne revival, which kicked off with the resurrection of John Goodman's Dan Conner, who was killed off in the original series' 1997 finale.) To do it again, this time with Dan's late wife, 'would have felt to us like a rug pull,' Rasmussen said. According to Helford, the only conversation they ever had was about preserving the memory of Barr's character, 'and we felt we did that. People loved her, her family loved her, and we wanted to make sure that this was something that honored that.' Added Caplan: 'We never ran away from, or disrespected her character. That was a conscious decision on all our parts.' Disney/ABC also declined comment for this story, while reps for the EPs have not responded as of press time.
