Recently, Ryan Seacrest, who co-hosted the morning show Live with Kelly and Ryan for nearly six years, said his final goodbye to the show. However, before departing, the American Idol host had a surprise prepared for his successor, Mark Consuelos, who made his debut as co-host on the newly named Live with Kelly and Mark.

Consuelos recently shared in an exclusive interview with People magazine the heartwarming parting gift that Seacrest left for him as a warm welcome to the show. “He left all his furniture, which is amazing,” Consuelos told the news outlet. “He left me a beautiful hand-written note with a gorgeous photograph of Steve McQueen. It’s going to go right there on the wall.”

Consuelos also made his opinion and claimed that Joaquin could possibly pull it off. “Joaquin’s a little reserved,” he explained. “But he would turn it on. He’s a drama student and he could turn it on for that hour, but I think he probably wouldn’t want to do that.”
