The new episode of Let’s Talk Off Camera with guest Dr. Jill Biden dropped on August 5, just days after Kelly left her daytime show Live with Kelly and Mark to undergo surgery.
Kelly has been missing from the show for two weeks, after husband Mark Consuelos said she got a very painful gum procedure.
It’s unclear when Kelly actually filmed her podcast episode, but it may have been before she actually underwent her surgery.
On July 27, Mark announced to the Live audience that Kelly would be absent from the show for the foreseeable future.

“Kelly had a gum graft surgery,” he said, with Kevin Jonas next to him filling in as co-host.
“Her dentist told her you can do it in about five years, and she said, ‘I didn’t think I’d still be on the air in five years!’”
“And here we are. She’s doing great. She’s not allowed to talk.”
Mark called the procedure “painful.”
“When she goes to the dentist, she doesn’t really use the Novocaine, but this one hurts. So I know it’s bad,” he added.
The host will not return to air until September 8, when the show goes back into production after summer break.
