It's not often Mark Consuelos can guess hidden secrets about the celebrity guests on Live With Kelly and Mark. But it looks like his streak surprisingly broke — and it all has to do with Tyler Perry!
Tyler appeared on the ABC daytime series on June 3 to promote his brand-new movie, Straw (out on Netflix on June 6). As part of his guest spot, Mark and Kelly Ripa challenged Tyler to play "Stump Mark," the recurring segment Mark loves to do with the audience and celebrity guests. The game involved Tyler giving Mark two statements about himself, and Mark had to guess which one was true within 60 seconds.
Tyler gave these two options: He got himself locked in Oprah Winfrey's bathroom, or he had penned over 100 songs in his career. Many would think, given Tyler's close relationship with the Queen of Talk, the bathroom story would be true. But it turned out, Tyler has written that many songs, and guess what? Mark managed to figure it out. And what's more, Mark got out of his chair to declare his victory right in front of the camera's lens.
"Oh gosh — I'm gonna say you've written over 100 songs," Mark stated in a clip posted on Instagram.
"I'm gonna say you are right!" Tyler replied, pretty stunned. "Wow! That was good!"
As fans watched Mark win the "Stump Mark" segment on the air, it was clear fans were thrilled about the TV host's unexpected victory.
"Appreciate Mark's nothing-to-lose mentality," one person wrote in the comments. "Mark is on a roll!!" another agreed. "This was fun to watch," a different follower added.
Well, this was certainly an ending we didn't expect! And clearly Mark didn't either, given how excited he was for guessing Tyler's fact right.
In regard to Tyler's surprising music catalog, fans would be shocked to discover just how long it truly was. According to Genius.com, he's penned songs for various movies he worked on, including Madea's Family Reunion and Gone Girl.
