Over the past few installments, though, ardent viewers of the show have missed seeing the TV anchor, but she finally revealed right before the weekend why she was off.

"In LA to begin taping Season 2 of Turning The Tables for @disneyplus. My office in NYC reached out to let me know today we received our Emmy for Season 1! What timing! Wishing all a blessed weekend," she wrote.
