A staffer filling in as the show's Trivia Dancer fell during a breakdancing routine on the Feb. 24th episode

The show is temporarily audience-free due to a major snowstorm that disrupted travel across New York City
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos briefly paused Live with Kelly and Mark after a staffer taking part in the show's "Live Trivia Dancer" tradition took a tumble during Tuesday's episode.
The moment happened on the Feb. 24 broadcast as the ABC daytime talk show kicked off its Freeze the Day Travel Trivia segment, which typically begins with an audience member dancing before the trivia caller attempts to answer the question.
Because a headline-making bomb cyclone has forced the New York City-based show to go audience-free, staffers have been filling in — including associate producer Noah Breske, who stepped onto the stage to perform Tuesday's dance.
Set to Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head," Breske began showing off energetic — and increasingly complicated — breakdancing moves.

But towards the end of his routine, Breske's arm gave out and he fell onto the studio floor.
The camera then cut to Ripa and Consuelos, who reacted with shocked expressions and nervous laughter as they watched from their seats.
Breske quickly got back up and finished the segment, raising up his arms in celebration at the end.

Afterwards, the hosts checked in on him. "You alright?" Consuelos asked, Ripa adding, "Noah, honey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I was good for a second. I was good," Breske replied.
"Your shoulder good?" Consuelos followed up, prompting Ripa to reference the trivia caller waiting on the line — Kim Fahrion from Matawan, N.J., who had introduced herself earlier as an equine massage therapist.

"We know a good equine massage therapist on the phone, just in case," Ripa joked.

Live With Kelly and Mark
This is the second day in a row Live with Kelly and Mark has broadcast without an audience.
The temporary format change comes as a powerful blizzard swept through New York City and the broader Northeast on Sunday and Monday, dumping nearly 20 inches of snow in Central Park and ranking among the city's 10 largest snowstorms on record. The storm prompted travel bans, transit disruptions and widespread closures across the tri-state area.
But the long-running daytime show still aired. Ripa, 55, and Consuelos, 54, flew back from their second home in California early to make it there for Monday's show.
"I gotta tell you, I'm thrilled that we rushed home from Palm Springs and the 80-degree sunshine," Ripa joked.
The couple slept in a hotel across the street from ABC's downtown studio to ensure they would be able to make it to the show in time.
"Mark and I spent the night in a hotel last night," Ripa explained on Monday. "The hotel across the street from the studio. Which, I thought would be an easy commute but as it turns out it was a very difficult commute because drudging through the snow [was hard] and the wind was very blustery."
She went on to note that she's been by Consuelos' side for every major blizzard that has struck New York City, including those in 1996, 2006 and 2016.
"This happens as you said, every 10 years," Consuelos noted. "May we be together for a few more! 60 years!"
"No," Ripa quickly replied. "May we never endure another blizzard!"
Live with Kelly and Mark airs weekdays in syndication (check local listings).
