Yuma locals attend ‘Live with Kelly and Mark After the Oscars’ show

LOS ANGELES (KYMA) - A group of lucky Yuma locals woke up bright and early to travel to Hollywood to be part of the "Live with Kelly and Mark After the Oscars" show at the Dolby theater, where the 98th Academy Awards took place Sunday evening.

It was a chance of a lifetime for locals to sit in the same studio where celebrities sat and watched the Oscars show.

Local Dylan Lally shared how he felt being in the theater.

"I'm beyond excited! I wanna figure out which celebrity sat in my seat," said Lally.

Kelly and Mark kept the fun rolling to end the Oscars weekend on a high note.

From watching celebrities arrive on the red carpet on television to experiencing the energy of live television the next morning, it was a Hollywood adventure that these locals won't soon forget.

The show's hosts, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, say this is their favorite show yet and it's all because of their fans.   

"We appreciate their energy more than we can possibly imagine. without an audience willing to show up so early and wait for us we would not have a show here and to do it year after year," Ripa expressed.

"And to see it's growing, it's gotten bigger," Consuelos added.
