Mark Consuelos giggles at using the word ‘haboobs’ on Live With Kelly and Mark: ‘Way funnier in my head’

All it takes to send one-half of morning TV’s horniest couple into a laughing fit before 10 a.m. is one mention of the word “boobs,” as far as Live With Kelly and Mark cohost Mark Consuelos is concerned.

Consuelos kicked off Tuesday’s broadcast with a warning about an ongoing weather phenomenon sweeping a portion of the United States, and, naturally, turned it into a suggestive joke in the process.

“There’s a dust storm out west and it’s called a haboob. There’s a massive haboob heading our way,” Consuelos said as the Live audience giggled over the name of the storm, which is Arabic in origin. “It’s a particularly fierce variety known as the haboob. It’s miles wide and it’s thousands of feet tall. The dust that could linger in the air for days has prompted officials in Albuquerque to [declare] an emergency.”

Kelly Ripa, Consuelos’ wife and fellow Live host, also joined in on the fun of saying the word a few times while her husband spoke.

“This is what you should do if there’s a haboob coming towards you,” Consuelos advised. “Rather than try to out-drive the haboob, experts advised drivers to pull off the road and let the haboob wash over you, turn off your lights, sit back, bathe in the haboob.”

Ripa asked, “Is that it? That’s the only advice? Surrender to the haboob!”

“Surrender to the haboobs,” Consuelos repeated, adding an “s” to the end of the word.

“Why do they call them haboobs? And I like that it’s even funnier in plural,” Ripa observed, to which Consuelos replied, “Did I accidentally say that? Haboobs? It’s way funnier in my head right now than it is for anybody else.”
