Lemon, 56, and Collins, 30, held down the struggling news show's post-Super Bowl coverage without their third co-host, laughing awkwardly at each other's jokes and playing nice as everyone in the nation's eyes are on the feuding CNN anchors.

The two sat inches apart, leaving plenty of space between them as they chatted about the most-memorable commercials and Rihanna's big pregnancy announcement.

Lemon and Collins did appear to agree with one thing — that RiRi's halftime performance outshined the game.

Sources claimed Lemon's temper tantrum, which took place in front of co-workers, left Collins "visibly upset" and CNN staffers "shaken."

She reportedly "wants to be on set with Don as little as possible" after the altercation.

As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, Lemon had a second explosion, losing it on CNN staffers after a story about his outburst on Collins was featured in the company newsletter.

"Don lost his mind internally and went ballistic at staffers after the CNN newsletter highlighted a story about him screaming," one well-placed source spilled.

Lemon has tried to pick up the pieces — but viewers and guests have noticed the tension between the two, with one interviewee addressing the awkward environment during a live broadcast last week.
