Kelly Ripa, the star of Live with Kelly and Mark, recently spoke with her boss, Bob Iger, of Disney fame, for her podcast.
Kelly has a podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera, with Kelly Ripa, and the subject of Kelly being named a Disney Legend came up.
Kelly has spent her entire career working for ABC, which Disney now owns, and was awarded the Disney Legends Award, the highest honor Disney can bestow on anyone.
Kelly has received many awards during her long career, including Daytime Emmys, Soap Opera Digest Awards, and the Disney Legends Award.
Even a veteran star such as Kelly can suffer from feelings of undeserving accolades, which she recently expressed to Bob Iger on her podcast.
Kelly shared that she had never suffered from imposter syndrome before being honored with this award. She has been asking why she’s “here” and saying she still cannot believe it since she learned of her inclusion in the award ceremony.
Kelly said she feels like she doesn’t belong
During her interview with Bob Iger, the conversation turned to the Disney Legends awards, and Kelly shared that she did not feel she deserved the award.
Bob told Kelly, “I approved the list…you’ve been worthy for a while.” Then he compared the Disney Legends Awards to a Hall of Fame Ceremony and said Kelly deserved the honor.
During her acceptance speech, she said, “I know what you are all thinking, ‘Why her, what has she ever done?'”
Kelly thanked Disney, saying she owed her career and family to the company.
Kelly met her husband, Mark Consuelos, who is now the co-host of her show All My Children, years ago, and the rest is history.
Kelly said during her talk with Bob, “I had never thought I had imposter syndrome until…I saw my name.”
She continued, ” I don’t belong here,” comparing herself to the others who have won that award, such as Harrison Ford and John Williams.
Kelly admitted that she doesn’t feel like she belongs with the like of greatness because she goes to work and does her job. Her fans certainly would disagree since Kelly is one of the greats. She deserves the honor.
