Watch Kelly Ripa Take Over for Ariana Grande as Glinda in ‘Wicked’ Trailer Remake

Written by on February 26, 2025

The 2025 Oscars are just around the corner, and Live With Kelly and Mark is celebrating Wicked‘s big award year.

In a two-minute clip shared by the morning show on Tuesday (Feb. 25), Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa take turns reciting the opening line: “The Land of Oz-cars, where envy is green and faces defy gravity.”

The scene, a remake of the original Wicked trailer, features Ripa as Ariana Grande’s Glinda, floating down on a bubble to hilariously announce that her name will be announced Kel-linda. Consuelos then appears as Fiyero, doing his best to recreate the “Dancing Through Life” number and naming himself the “sexiest TV host.”

Ripa even lip-sync’s Cynthia Erivo’s viral “Defying Gravity” riff as Elphaba before the scene ends.

Both Erivo and Grande are expected to perform at the Oscars telecast on Sunday (March 2). Wicked is nominated for 10 total awards, including best picture. Erivo is up for best actress in a leading role, while Grande is nominated for actress in a supporting role. The film is also nominated for best costume design, film editing, makeup and hairstyling, original score, production design and sound.
