‘GMA’ host George Stephanopoulos calls himself ‘cheap’ on-air
The renowned ABC political commentator sat down with former ‘GMA’ star Charlie Gibson and his daughter to talk about their podcast, ‘The Book Case’, among many other things.
While discussing the podcast on the morning show, George asked Kate, “Do you get [your love of reading] from your dad?” he asked Kate. Kate confessed that a bookstore was the "only store in the world" where he wasn't "notoriously cheap."
George laughed and divulged that being “cheap” was something he and Charlie “had in common.”
The ABC anchor seemed in high spirits on the morning show during his interview with Charlie and Kate after sporting an exhausted look in the studio while recording his audiobook.

He went for comfort and didn't take the beanie off even while in the booth with a headset on. George wore a glum look as he chugged cups of coffee before starting to record.
However, many who saw George’s beanie on his head found it “adorable,” while his wife Ali Wentworth wanted him to “take it off” as she took to the comments to make her voice heard.
"Honey - take your hat off!" she commented.
A few other fans barged in to comment on George’s look. One said, "@therealaliwentworth No! He's adorable in his comfy clothes.” Another wrote, “Gotta be comfy sitting in a sound booth for hours!”
A surprised fan said, “Mr Stephanopoulos I’ve never seen you without a suit on. But I’m sure this is going to be Good!!” "You look great in casual clothes. I love the hat!!!" quipped another.
