Welcome back, Robin!
"Good Morning America" host Robin Roberts was back on the anchor desk Wednesday, five months to the day after receiving a bone marrow transplant.
The beloved host was welcomed back to her morning duties by the likes of Bradley Cooper, Jimmy Kimmel, President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, along with plenty of fans on the streets of Times Square.

"I have been waiting 174 days to say this... Good morning, America," Roberts said with a wide smile in the show's opening.
The bulk of the ABC show turned into a celebration of her return as she's recovering from MDS, a blood and bone marrow disease.
"Can I go home now?" Roberts said, before delivering a tearful thank you to her colleagues as the show wrapped up.
