GOOD Morning America’s Michael Strahan has seemingly mocked co-host George Stephanopoulos with a sly little dig about his personality in a new interview.
Michael made the comment to the Associated Press for an article celebrating Robin Roberts and George for being the longest-serving pair of news hosts on a network show.

The article touches on how both Robin and George felt like they somehow “beat the odds” when they were chosen to host together more than a decade ago.
George admitted that at first, he turned down the job three times when Diane Sawyer stepped down from the morning show.
“We wear very well together, George and myself,” Roberts said.
George said of his co-host: “Robin has been a joy to work with. We’ve had a lot of fun and great success and covered a lot of consequential things. It’s been an incredible experience.”
Michael commented on how George’s personality has changed over the years.
The former NFL player said that George is laughing now more than ever and that: “I definitely feel like he has loosened up. I don’t know if I can take credit for it.”
The comment comes as fans got a rare look at the newsman letting loose with his wife during a night out with his wife.
The GMA host was seen dancing with his wife, actress Ali Wentworth, on her Instagram account, which wouldn’t seem that offbeat except for the fact that they were dressed for a rodeo.

George who usually wears a fitted suit on GMA stunned fans and friends with his cowboy hat and western shirt.
The couple seemed to be enjoying a night of lively country music with Ali captioning the video: “Country Strong!”
Michael couldn’t help but comment on the post.
He said: “OMG is that my guy George dancing!!”
He followed up this comment with three laughing crying emojis and said “Love it.”
Harlan Coben, a mystery book writer, also took the time to share his thoughts.
He commented: “Why can I only hit the [heart emoji] button once???”
Many people were amused by the post saying “I am dead” and asking “Wow!!! Who are you people????”
NEW PROJECT
has also been busy promoting his new show Power Trip, which follows reporters working on the midterm election.
The Hulu show was also promoted on GMA with viewers treated to an exclusive “sneak peek”.
George returned to social media to further plug the show that same day, resharing a clip posted by ABC.
He wrote: “Episode 2 of #PowerTripABC is out this afternoon, only on @hulu.”
Former White House communications director George returned to social media last week to share details of his new show.
“I’m so excited about this show. We’re going to feature our young reporters, we call them embeds, who go out and cover campaigns,” George said in the clip recorded in Washington D.C.
The journalist’s new project, titled Power Trip – Those Who Seek Power and Those Who Chase Them – focuses on reporters covering the upcoming midterm elections from the ground.
“It’s the first time ever where you’re really going to see [the reporters] doing their jobs in real-time, trying to get answers from the politicians, trying to figure out what’s on voters’ minds,” George said.
