Stephen A has been appearing on the show virtually of late – right up until Tuesday’s episode.
And Molly, 38, couldn’t resist a little shot at the analyst.
Speaking at the beginning of Tuesday’s show, she asked him: “Did you remember how to get here?”
And he rolled his eyes as he laughed: “Barely, but I’m in the house.”
Molly continued the joke by asking: “Do you still have an office?”
And Stephen A took a playful shot back at Molly with an accusation.
He said: “I don’t know, I think someone was in there reclined, looking at my TV – I suspect it was you.”
Molly denied it, claiming: “I have my own.”
But Stephen A pressed on: “Your office is your dressing room.”
Even in his absence from the New York studio, Stephen A has showered Molly with compliments.
Last week she joked she needed his comments “on tape” after he said the show doesn’t work without her.
Earlier this week he likened Molly’s appearance in an elegant purple dress to Marilyn Monroe.
And fans have also loved her performances of late, claiming she is “killing the game”.
