Kelly Ripa jokingly scolded her own talk show, “Live with Kelly and Mark,” after learning that a dog named after her wasn’t permitted to enter the studio.
Ripa was chatting with audience members before Tuesday’s taping when she freaked out upon seeing someone wearing a “Kelly Ripug” T-shirt, according to a video shared by the show’s Instagram page.
You’re the owner of Kelly Ripug? We have to get a picture together. I’m obsessed!”
Jerry Power, the owner of the popular pug, mirrored Ripa’s excitement and revealed that he brought her and her co-host, Mark Consuelos, matching “Kelly Ripug” T-shirts.

“I brought you and Mark shirts, but they said I can’t give them to you.”
Ripa, however, insisted that he hand over the custom shirts.

“This is such bulls–t!"
Even though he wasn’t able to bring his adorable pooch to the show, Power was still able to snag a photo with the married co-hosts.
Afterwards, several fans flocked to the comments section to gush over how “sweet” Ripa and Consuelos were to Power.
