The host of Live with Kelly and Ryan posted a sweet throwback Thursday photo on her Instagram, as she frequently does to advertise her new program. This time, her father was in the picture, with both posing identically with their arms crossed.
Kelly and her father are both curled up on the couch, their legs stretched out, with the host looking severely into the camera while her father's mouth appears to be open in mid-sentence.

Despite being unaware of the throwback's time period, Kelly is dressed more casually than she does on the show, with blue denim trousers and a summery blouse. With white three-quarter shorts and a dark polo shirt, her father Joe is sporting a typical dad appearance.
