LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘Good Morning America’ star Michael Strahan has made a startling revelation on a podcast about his co-host and good friend, George Stephanopoulos. The former NFL player appeared on the IHeart Radio podcast program titled ‘Now What’ with Brooke Shields and disclosed an incident where George was forced to dance by Tiffany Haddish - a thing that he certainly dislikes. 

Michael had to put on his thinking hat when Brooke put forth an intriguing question on the podcast. However, the 51-year-old ‘GMA’ host stated that Tiffany Haddish and Ali Wentworth, George’s wife, are two of the funniest people he’s ever known. Micheal also mentioned that Tiffany’s appearance on the show was the time when he had laughed the most on the morning show.

Did Tiffany Haddish force George Stephanopoulos to dance?

Michael Strahan was in conversation with Brooke Shields on her podcast ‘Now What’ talking about diverse topics. In the middle of it, Brooke asked Michael an intriguing question: “What guest makes you laugh the hardest?” The famed actress’ question forced Michael to take a trip down memory lane and he came up with a great answer. Michael said, “The one guest that made me laugh the hardest when they were last on the show was Tiffany Haddish.”

The ex-NFL star further elaborated on why he found Tiffany to be the funniest guest on the show. Michael revealed that Tiffany held George Stephanopoulos by his tie, got him up, and made him dance, a thing that he earlier thought was impossible because he had failed to make his co-host dance in the past. Michael said, “Tiffany was all up with jokes around George and she made him dance.” Michael further stated that George remains all “stoic” and whenever he’s asked to dance, he replies “Never.”

Michael Strahan calls Ali Wentworth the 'funniest person on the planet'

After Michael spoke about the Tiffany Haddish incident on the podcast, Brooke disclosed that it was Ali Wentworth who wanted to ask the question, “What guest makes you laugh the hardest?” Brooke only did what her friend asked her to do.

Michael was shaken and said, “I think Ali is the funniest person on the planet and I know George is not all stoic.” Michael explained that he knows it's Ali who makes George laugh at all times when they’re home, and also stated that she makes him nervous at different moments.
