He's not just Kelly Ripa's hubby. Actor Mark Consuelos is the host of the upcoming NBC reality show Age of Love. During a media call on Friday, I asked Mark a few questions about his reality TV hosting gig. Here's what he had to say.

Q: You started out working on a daily soap opera. Did the drama on this dating reality show remind you of soap opera drama?
A: [Laughs.] That’s a great question! You know what? I gotta say it like this. I don’t think you can write the stuff that’s on this show. You can’t write it. It’s so good… I’m converted. I really fell in love with the medium. Just watching the conversations and interactions between people has been amazing. Although I’ve had a really really good time on daytime, again, I don’ t think you can write this stuff.

Q: Your wife Kelly seems to love the drama on some of these reality shows. She acts out scenes on Live With Regis and Kelly. Is she excited about watching Age of Love?
A: I think they haven’t won the Emmy together, her and Regis, and this is going to do it for them. The Age of Love theater! I think Regis could probably get into this reality show as well. I think it has something for him.

Q: From your observation, do you think the star of the show found love?
A: You know what I love about Mark Philippoussis? He’s a stand up guy. I think he realized that he had to go into this with an open mind. He was really making some decisions, some really level headed decisions. I couldn’t believe it. He’s kind of a throwback. He’s an old fashioned guy. I think he really went into this to find someone, which I really respect.
