Savannah wore a yellow dress, and declared: “It is good to be home.”

“Yes, it is good to have you back at home,” Craig responded.

“OK, here we go. Ready or not, let’s do the news,” she declared before moving forward with all the biggest news headlines of the day.

Later on, Al Roker said that he likes looking over at the desk and seeing Savannah where she belongs, via THR.

Fans lined up with “extra enthusiasm and even more signs supporting Savannah” in the morning.

Carson Daly and Al Roker joined the desk later on during the broadcast, as Savannah said she was “excited to give them all a hug.”

“I’m really feeling the love so much,” she said.

Later on, Jenna Bush Hager arrived with a “Morning Boost” toddler hack.

“We don’t even need a boost because we have our sunshine back,” she said, referring to Savannah.
