LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: One of America’s longest-running morning TV shows, 'Good Morning America' (GMA) has always been a reputed brand for its channel ABC. 'GMA' is renowned for its quirky yet insightful segments every morning that sets American citizens up for the rest of their day. Hosted by Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, Lara Spencer, and ex-NFL star Michael Strahan, 'GMA' never fails to inform and entertain. Picking on that latter half, it was a crew member’s turn to entertain on the morning broadcast but it looked like Strahan wasn’t entirely amused by this crew member’s antics.

Strahan appeared on Sam Champion’s ‘Pop New’ segment where he tried his best to keep a straight face but failed. The reason — Sam asked a 'GMA' crew member named Gary to bring a pink boa onto the set. Nothing wrong with a prop on set but it was Gary’s actions that got the laugh out of everyone including Strahan but not before he grimaced and twisted and turned in his seat.

What did 'GMA’s crew member Gary do?

When Sam asked Gary for a pink feathered boa, he entered the set with a boa wrapped around his shoulders and twirled it before handing it over to Sam. His uncanny way of spinning the boa around is what got the reactions from the panelists who couldn’t help but laugh at Gary’s actions. Gary quickly returned backstage but the entire crew was in splits. The first reaction came out of the weathercaster who said, "Gary! That was so much better than when we rehearsed!”

Strahan who had been smiling and observing until then, spoke up. "I can never unsee that! Gary! Don't ever do that again!” Sam wasn’t behind on the action and added, "It was the twirl for me, Gary! The twirl!” Sam then kept the pink boa around his neck and continued the broadcast with a serious face. However, Strahan couldn’t stop chuckling while sinking in his chair.

Strahan was roasted for his age recently

In a recent Instagram post, Strahan slammed baseball star Derek Jeter for roasting him for his age when the two were involved in a charity golf match. It was a fun afternoon with the two legends of their respective games playing for a noble cause but it was Derek’s taunts that irked Strahan. “I grew up watching Michael Strahan," Derek said while the others around replied, "Of course.”

Paige Spiranac, a social media personality and professional golfer was also present and piled on Strahan’s misery by stating, "I wasn't even alive then.” Strahan was embarrassed and responded, “You know what? You're just trying to make me feel old, man.” Strahan surely knows how to keep himself trending at all times.
