visited the set of “Live” Thursday for the first time since the show switched from “Live with Kelly and Ryan” to “Live with Kelly and Mark” for a guest appearance.The former host joined Kelly Ripa, 52, and Mark Consuelos, 52, to promote the Season 21 “American Idol” finale, which airs Sunday on ABC, and he revealed that since leaving the show April 14, he has so much time on his hands.“I’ve got all kinds of time,” Seacrest said. “There’s this fascinating thing I’ve experienced called time.

I don’t know if you guys know about it. The alarm chimes in the morning. It’s a soft nudge.”The “American Idol” host walked Ripa, Consuelos and viewers through his new morning routine.“I walk through the forest.

The sun is about right here. I look for the beans of coffee. I harvest them,” he quipped.Later, Seacrest complimented Consuelos’ take on the morning talk show’s long-running “Truth Game,” where viewers call in and answer questions about two previously provided statements about them — one real, one fake — and try to confuse the hosts into guessing the wrong one.“I have to say, I’ve been watching — you guys are so great.

I love Mark doing the teases. I love the promos I see. I love the game,” Seacrest said.Consuelos clapped back, saying that “the game has turned back into a game” since Seacrest’s departure, referring to his own habits of trying to stop the contestant from winning the prize, a show-branded mug.“OK, but don’t be so competitive.
