Mark Consuelos Can’t Get It Right During 'Stump Mark'

During the segment "Stump Mark," which is a fan-favorite trivia portion of the show, Mark Consuelos, who is 52 years old, couldn’t seem to get a single answer right.

It was one of those moments where you could feel the camaraderie between the two hosts, and the audience was right there with them, laughing and enjoying the humor in the situation.
