GOOD Morning America weatherman Sam Champion has revealed he “can’t see at all” without his glasses.
In an Instagram Live filmed on Wednesday, Sam was joined by his co-host Heather O’Rourke as they talked about the current weather and interacted with fans.

At one point, Heather told Sam: “Your font is so small,” as she referred to his mobile phone screen.
“I know! Should I up my font a little bit because I can’t read anything this morning,” Sam replied.
He then leaned out of shot to grab something and announced: “Wait, get ready, here come the Harry Potter glasses!”
Sam placed the black-rimmed spectacles on his face and then admitted: “Because I cannot see this morning at all!”
Once his glasses were firmly on, Sam continued to read comments from followers who had joined the Instagram Live.
A few minutes later, Sam removed his glasses and then put them back as he said: “God, look at this, I am now the old guy who takes his glasses off!”
He and Heather then revealed what time they get up for work each morning.
“I wake up at 1:58am because 2am is too late,” Heather revealed, before she added: “This morning I got up at 1.55am actually.”

“Good, that’s a normal time, I feel better that you chose a normal time!” Sam said as he mocked her.
“Oh that’s just for today, don’t get used to that,” she fired back before she confirmed she tries to be in bed by 6pm each night and get eight hours of sleep.
BEDTIME ROUTINE
Sam added: “I’m in at 6 o’clock, I really don’t wait any longer. And lights out by about 6:15pm and that’s it for me and it’s militant.
“And that is when I’m likely to get snippy. If anyone comes to the door right around 6 o’clock or if friends text me right around 6 o’clock, I’m like, ‘do you not know what I have to do?'”
He then said: “But no one else’s life is like that, like normal people are thinking about things from 4, 5 or 6 o’clock.”
Referring to his husband Rubem Robierb, he continued: “And Rubem wants to have these important conversations about scheduling, and timing and plans, and I’m like, ‘I have zero braincells right now!'”
Sam and Heather are no strangers to going live on Instagram and chatting away to fans.
SAM’S BANTER
Last month, Sam corrected his co-host for a mistake after she called out his choice of words during an Instagram Live.
As a show staffer named Ray performed a sound check, Sam asked if the pair was being loud.
Heather told the staffer they were live on “Facebook,” which Sam quickly corrected.
“Now, we’re doing Instagram. This is called Instagram,” said the Good Morning America meteorologist
“My bad,” Heather said with a chuckle.
However, the error was not the only moment of slight tension during their Live session.
At one point, Sam noted that “there’s a little bit more mist and probably less rain” this morning.
Calling him out, Heather asked: “[Have] you been listening to Sam keep saying mist and fog?”
“So, there’s a song that’s stuck in my head … Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison,” she added.
The lyrics Heather referenced the following lyrics from the hit song with her remark: “In the misty morning fog with, our hearts a-thumping and you; My brown-eyed girl.”
Sam laughed at the comparison and joked that “no one knows the lyrics to that song.”
