They even showed a clip of Amber walking in with Lukas in her arms as she simply handed Robin a photo frame, with her head cut off as Robin exclaimed: "Look at that famous strut!"

"Let me tell you what is not so much comforting," she added, however, saying: "I would look over and she would be like [snoring]."

Given the ABC host's early morning call times for the show, she mused that even though it would mean a very early morning for Amber, it was always a little disconcerting seeing her like that when she would be "delivering the news, so really, really important."

Robin has been spending more time at home lately as she cares for her longtime partner after she had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.
