On a recent episode of Live With Kelly and Ryan, the beloved morning talk show host revealed she quit drinking after Ryan Seacrest joined the show following Michael Strahan's dramatic exit in 2017.
While discussing America's "wine problem," the 49-year-old revealed that she had cut alcohol out of her diet. "They are saying Americans bought less wine in the last year," she explained. "It's the first drop in a quarter of a century. Now, I believe this is because I quit drinking, that I caused this slip. I have influenced the market. I'm not saying I've driven people out. I'm saying I stopped buying wine and there's a 25 percent dip."
Ryan was happy to take the credit, saying, "I started the show and she quit drinking. What does that tell you? I don't know...It that good or bad?"
