"Investing in more episodes of 'Run It Back' this season was purposeful.

"We also are bringing the co-hosts to Los Angeles so they can anchor a majority of the shows from FanDuel TV's new state of the art studio. There is an undeniable team chemistry our audience saw when Michelle, Shams and Chandler were together on set that is hard to replicate remotely."
