During Live’s game show segment, Stump Mark, Mark had a slip-up, which caused some awkwardness on the show.

Live’s quiz competition featured a contestant named Linda, who called in to take part in the hosts’ game.
The purpose of the game is for participants to try to stop 52-year-old Mark from guessing which of two statements about the rival caller was correct.
“Moved 25 times within the same city” and “I met Oprah.” [Winfrey] in Chattanooga [Tennessee]“ were the options given to Mark.
As he thought about his answer, he asked Linda why she moved so often within the same city to help him choose his answer.
His co-star-slash-wife Kelly Ripa, 52, inquired if all the parades took place in New York City because if so, “it made sense.”
Linda clarified that she moved around a lot in Cleveland, Tennessee, and confessed that her father was a pipefitter “who moved around quite a bit when she was younger.”
Because Linda’s voice sounded a bit muffled on the phone, Mark had difficulty understanding her, which led him to ask her a shocking follow-up question.
“Your father was a cannabis dealer?” he asked confused.

Laughing, Linda corrected: “A pipe maker.”
“The pipe fitter understood it. Because if your dad was a pot dealer, I’d say that’s true,” Mark joked, trying to play off his mistake.
MARK MISSPEAKING
It’s nothing new for Mark when it comes to errors in live broadcasts.
In a recent episode that aired in June, he fumbled his words as he tried to pronounce hurricane names.
Mark announced at the start of the show that June 1st was officially the start of hurricane season.
He then began working through a list of the 21 storm names.
Mark read: “Arlene, Bret is next, Cindy, Don, Emily, Frank…”
Kelly had to intervene and correct the name to: “Franklin.”
Mark said hastily, “Yes, Franklin, I’m sorry,” as he continued reading.
The TV host struggled to pronounce “Idalia” and needed Kelly’s help again.
Then Mark stumbled upon “Nigel” and pronounced it “Nee-gil” before Kelly helped her husband.
This isn’t the first time Mark has felt the pressure of live television.
OOPS!
In May, he called a fan with the wrong name while on the phone with him.
Kelly and Mark took part in their daily Grow For It Spring trivia segment, where fans call in to answer a question and win a prize.
Mark made a mistake and referred to their first caller, Charlotte, instead of Sonya.
He opened the segment by saying, “On the phone is Sonya Heath from Charlotte, North Carolina.”
He added dramatically, “Hey, good morning, Charlotte!”
Kelly looked at her husband’s notes and quickly murmured, “Sonya, this is Sonya.”
For the camera, she added more clearly: “Sonya.”
Mark looked down to double-check the caller’s name and said, “Oh, Sonya, she’s from Charlotte. Yes, I’m sorry.”
The presenter appeared annoyed before launching into a conversation with the viewer.
Mark replaced Ryan Seacrest as Kelly’s new co-host on April 17.
On the first day, Kelly and Mark walked around the set holding hands to the tune of Lizzo’s song “2 Be Loved.”
