Another reason is that the 55-year-old star - who has starred in the likes of Ugly Betty, 30 Rock and Broad City - is focused on co-hosting her and her 54-year-old husband, actor Mark Consuelos' daily daytime talk show, Live, as well as her podcast, Let's Talk Off Camera.

Kelly - whose most recent acting role was as a guest appearance in the ABC sitcom Home Economics in 2022 - told Entertainment Weekly: "I try not to act so much anymore, it's not that I don't appreciate it, it's not that I don't love it. But I really am devoted to this show and my podcast."
