Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos parody Nicole Kidman’s viral AMC ad
Kelly Ripa And Mark Consuelos hilariously parodied Nicole Kidman‘s iconic 2021 “We come to this place for magic” AMC Theaters commercial for their Academy Awards aftershow.
On Friday, March 8, Ripa, 53, shared the parody via Instagram with the caption: “Patiently waiting for Live’s After the Oscars Show….”
The Live with Kelly and Mark hosts have the original viral advertisement (complete with matching blue and silver pinstripe suits and identical intro narration) to tease their upcoming episode of the 96th annual Academy Awards, held on Sunday, March 10 at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
The funny video starts with an artistic shot of a woman in heels walking through a puddle after a rain shower. The camera angle then changes to reveal Ripa slowly pulling down the hood of her raincoat and staring up at the ‘LIVE’ sign on the side of a movie theater. She then smiles and goes inside where she meets Consuelos, 52. The couple then sits side by side and watches a series of movie trailers together in which they play the leading roles.
Among the film imitations are classics such as Some good men, Princess Bride, There’s something about Mary, Basic instinct And Dirty dancingwhere the duo are shown in costume doing the famous lift from the finale before Consuelos turns to the camera and says, “Nobody puts Kelly in a corner.”
The Oscar-nominated blockbuster Barbie is also depicted in the film montage. Ripa is dressed in a head-to-toe pink outfit and wears a long, braided blonde wig as she drives down the highway in the doll’s signature pink convertible, while Consuelos sits in the backseat as Ken — blonde hair and all .

At one point, Consuelos even wipes away a tear with a tissue as he watches him reenact the “you can’t handle the truth” scene in Some good men.
Lives after the Oscars episode will appear Project Runway‘S Elaine Welteroth talking Oscars fashion, musician Andy Grammer performing a range of songs and comedian Sebastian Maniscalco give his view of the evening. The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer will also serve as a red carpet correspondent for Live while Ripa and Consuelos will interview Oscar winners backstage, minutes after receiving their awards.
