Live with Kelly and Michael co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan won the Emmy for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host at the Daytime Emmy Awards Sunday, though neither attended the ceremony.

“What’d you do last night? We won an Emmy,” joked Ripa at the top of Monday’s show, which featured the co-hosts walking on stage carrying their Emmys–a welcome break from the drama that has surrounded Strahan’s departure from the show to take a full-time role at Good Morning America.
