Colleagues and TV news pros from rival networks gathered to celebrate Deborah Roberts’ new book “Sisters: Loved and Treasured” at media haunt Michael’s.

Robin Roberts, Gayle King, Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb all swung by to support the book, which features 50 personal stories from prominent women such as Viola Davis, Jenna Bush Hager, Barbara Bush and more.

“It was a fun sisterhood of morning television,” a source told Page Six.

The event kicked off with opening remarks from Disney’s news group boss, Debra O’Connell.

Robin introduced the woman of the hour, and Deborah talked about the “GMA” anchor’s role in the book. She quipped that Robin showed up unexpectedly when she interviewed her two sisters, Dorothy Roberts McEwen and Sally-Ann Roberts, for the book, according to a partygoer.

“She wasn’t supposed to be there, [she showed up] just to keep tabs on how much family tea they were sharing,” the source told Page Six.

Meanwhile, Robin shared a message from David Muir, who was anchoring “ABC World News Tonight.” (Muir eventually made it to the party after anchoring, surprising Deborah before the bash ended.)

Deborah’s four sisters, her husband, Al Roker, Arianna Huffington, Bevy Smith, Tonya Lewis Lee and ABC colleagues Stephanie Ramos and Will Reeve were also at the bash.

“The Sisterhood journey is unfolding in real time… Thank you to everyone who is embracing this book. I’m eternally grateful and hopeful that it offers a light into th complex and life affirming world of sisters and sister friends,” Deborah captioned a photo with her siblings.
