She returned to her co-hosting duties for the 2008 Telethon, which was broadcast live from Las Vegas.citation needed

In 2007, Sweeney took over hosting duties on The Biggest Loser, replacing Caroline Rhea since the fourth season. She was surprised but happy to be offered the role, where she is able to cheer on contestants and share their victories.6
