Nonetheless, fans have all been taking to social media to comment on the star's whereabouts, and in particular the fact that none of the anchors had worked together on the show at the same time for weeks. "When was the last time all three were on set together?" one wrote, while another commented: "But where is George? Miss him and Michael with Robin." A third added: "Missing George and Michael, when will the three be back together?"
