The 54-year-old and her cohost husband Mark Consuelos welcomed actor Christopher Meloni to the show for an interview Thursday morning, during which a lively audience member attempted to jump in to interrupt with a question of her own.

Meloni was interrupted as he reflected on spending time with his wife in a secluded vacation destination, the location for which he didn’t want to reveal.

“My wife and I went down to the Dominican Republic,” the 64-year-old Law & Order actor said. “We were at this beautiful restaurant overlooking a jungle, without a light. There was no [light]. It’s not built up, no one’s there.”

An audience member could be heard shouting from the risers in the background, asking, excitedly asking, “Where was it?”
