The result? A blooper that will have you in stitches.
WATCH: Sunrise's Ryan Phelan forgot he was meant to be on air with Kylie Gillies
As Sunrise host David Koch threw to their segment, Kylie could be seen peering off camera looking for her co-host Ryan.
“Are you flying solo today?” Koch asked.
“Good men are hard to find, they keep leaving me!” Kylie joked back.
The tv presenters shared a laugh before Natalie Barr asked where Ryan was.
“I’m not sure,” Kylie replied, adding, “he’s probably scrambling as he sees me on screen by myself.”
The 52-year-old began her segment on Princess Diana, and Ryan didn’t make an appearance until after the piece aired.
As he walked on set, he appeared to be still buttoning his jacket in a rush.
“What happens when the work experience kid fills in,” Ryan joked.
“Forgets to turn up on time,” he added, as the entire team shared a laugh.
“This is where you say, better late than never,” said Kylie.
“I’ll be there at the start of the show, I promise,” Ryan said.

It’s not the first on-air error to liven things up on the show recently.
Earlier this month, Sunrise’s Samantha Armytage made her own blunder through a lewd slip of the tongue during a live cross to popular weatherman Sam Mac.
‘Sam Mac, you’ve had a humdinger this morning in the C*ck Islands,’ began Samantha, before realising exactly what she had just said, quickly correcting herself by blurting, ‘Cook Islands.’
