“Live with Kelly and Ryan” to Bring Back “Live’s Virtual Road Trip” Week of October 11th

ABC’s Live with Kelly and Ryan is hitting the road once again and bringing back an audience-favorite segment, “Live’s Virtual Road Trip.” Debuting in February, the Virtual Road trip shared warmth and sunshine with viewers, and now they’re hitting up five North American hot spots.    

What’s Happening:

  • The Live franchise is continuing its tradition of taking viewers around the country with exciting remote broadcasts—even while travel is limited. To pull this off, the show is bringing back a feature that debuted earlier this year: “Live’s Virtual Road Trip.”
  • The Live team will showcase five top North American hot spots, highlighting what makes each location a favorite destination.
  • Each day from October 11-14, Live will feature a different city and some of the best offerings each provides not only to residents, but to tourists too.
  • Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest will check in with Chefs, actors, musicians and more during “Virtual Road Trip” week.
