“Kelly has said it before but when they come to see us, they’re completely out of their body, so you really get those guttural reactions,” he said.

Ripa told PEOPLE it’s a “live-wire show.”

“It really depends on who wins the Academy Award, so there’s no way to sort of properly promote the show because every year, it’s a mystery,” she said. “We’re making decisions sometimes minutes before we go live. It’s shifting. And the buildup to it, all of the editing that goes into, the deciding what gets cut and what’s in the show — it’s a lot of decision-making and a lot of pressure on the fly.”

Regardless of the chaos, she said it “means so much to us to do this” every year.

“To me, seeing our little show with our little staff on the big stage with all of those people in the audience — and I cannot say it enough, they line up so early to be a part of it, which is so kind of them — but it’s just incredible,” Ripa added. “We both just feel so much gratitude.”
