In a clip shared on Instagram, the Live with Kelly and Ryan page shared that their hosts were back to shooting in the studio, completely in person.

The two joked about being "rushed" back to the studios while not getting to enjoy some of the routine pleasures of working from home, such as Ryan getting to eat breakfast.

Fans, however, were thrilled to see them back in person, and one left a comment saying: "Show is 20x better in studio," with another adding: "So glad to see this. You kids are better together in the studio!!"

Kelly teased that there might be a change involved when she revealed on her Instagram Stories the day prior that she had returned to New York City.

After spending a few weeks in Michigan to be closer to her youngest son Joaquin while he attended University there, she posted on her social media that she was back.

However, she was met by a relatively frosty reception as she found that she'd come back to her Manhattan home's porch being covered with snow.

"Hello NYC," she wrote on a clip she took showing off the completely snow-laden surroundings, having piled up on her outdoor covered chairs and tables.
