Whit, 41, DeMarco Morgan, and Eva Pilgrim filled in for Michael Strahan, Robin Roberts, and George Stephanopoulos on Friday.

During their time on the show, the fill-in hosts talked to Andrew Dymburt, a multi-platform reporter for ABC News.

Andrew discussed how 2024 was only a few days away and how New York City was preparing for the ball drop.

“And when that clock finally strikes midnight, oh it’s going to be a sight to see,” Andrew said.

“There’s a giant sign that says 2024. That’s going to light up.”

He continued: “There’s going to be confetti pouring into the street. People are going to be kissing, cheering, smiling. It’s going to be one giant celebration, guys.”

As Andrew finished his last sentence, Whit could be heard saying something to his co-hosts.

It sounded like he asked: “Kissing…?” under his breath as Eva, 41, cracked up.

DeMarco laughed as well, at the awkward moment.

“Sorry. I forgot I had my microphone on right now,” Whit said to Andrew.

“You had something to say,” DeMarco, 45, responded.

“It’s the kissing part!” Whit spoke up.

“Yes, it is the kissing part,” DeMarco replied.

WHIT’S WHOOPS!

In June, Whit made another mistake while live on air.

He filled in for George that day as well, and admitted to the blunder.

DeMarco reviewed the movies of the summer, and the hosts weighed in on them.

Whit revealed that he likes to go see a film weeks after it has come out rather than right away.

This made him think of something else, which caused him to flub his line up completely.

“By the way, DeMarco, stick around if you would, because if you’re… if you choose to accept this mission, which I’ve totally messed up the line already…” Whit stuttered.

He laughed at himself and so did the other hosts- Eva and Mary Bruce.

Whit was trying to make a joke based on the popular Mission: Impossible line: “your mission, if you choose to accept it,” but his words got mixed up.

“…You can bring us our Play of the Day coming up later, the best Fourth of July sales and some good news. Man, I thought I had it!”

“You were so close,” Eva told him.

“No!” Whit laughed.
