Kelly Ripa has realized the span of her influence when the media exploded after her comment on last Wednesday's episode of Kelly Ripa Live. Ripa had said that her husband Mark Consuelos is "immediately mean" to her after sex. "I'm sorry! I was joking!" Ripa quickly proclaimed after hearing about the uproar. "This is a funny, irreverent show. I didn't realize that it would become trending news."
