LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘Good Morning America’ is one of those shows that give vital information to the viewers in a quirky way and that’s why it has become such an important part of people’s lives. Apart from news, the show also features moments where co-hosts crack jokes and embarrass each other to make people laugh. On Tuesday’s episode, ‘GMA’ co-host Michael Strahan took a playful jab at his colleague George Stephanopoulos and revealed that the veteran news broadcaster is one of the “biggest” fans of Taylor Swift while discussing the singer’s 'The Eras Tour’.
During the segment, Strahan shared a photo of Stephanopoulos dressed in full fan attire, complete with a rhinestone cowboy hat embellished with "21" and “13”, which is a reference to the pop superstar's lucky number and the date of her birth.
“One of the biggest Swifties is actually sitting at the desk,” Strahan said. To which, Stephanopoulos replied, “I'm OG, yeah!”
Stephanopoulos, an "OG" Swiftie
As soon as Strahan shared the photo with the fans, Stephanopoulos, a self-proclaimed "OG" Swiftie, admitted to being in “full girl dad mode” with his daughters and blamed his children for such a funny look. Meanwhile, he credited them for making the hats and insisting on the temporary tattoos of Swift's album names on his hands.
'It was the best live performance'
Despite all the banter, the former White House Communications director couldn’t help but gush over Swift’s concert, calling it “the best live performance I have ever seen, ever.” “It was an amazing performance. Just the best live performance I have ever seen, ever,” Stephanopoulos said.
This is why ‘Good Morning America’ is such a hit among viewers. The playful banter highlights the camaraderie and humor that the team shares, providing a glimpse into the fun-loving dynamic that encourages viewers to tune in every day.
Another moment that showed the kind of camaraderie shared by ‘GMA’ presenters took place when Strahan found out that the ‘GMA’ co-host George Stephanopoulos made a surprise appearance on ‘Jeopardy! Masters’ tournament.
The veteran news presenter was featured in a recent episode of the game show and was the answer to one of the questions. The question came from the category called Michael J Fox and was worth $600.
Strahan gave his co-host a compliment and called him a “million-dollar guy.”
The segment ended with Strahan watching his co-host in awe, causing Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts to laugh.
