GOOD Morning America anchor Sam Champion has corrected his co-host for a mistake after she told called out his choice of words on Instagram Live.
The banter between the hosts kicked off as Sam, 61, went live on Wednesday with WABC traffic anchor Heather O’Rourke when the blunder occurred.
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.”
Heather jokingly asked fans if they knew the lyrics to the tune to back her up.
“Do not even second guess this,” she laughed.
The meteorologist then started scrolling through his comments on the live, relaying that “no one” knew the lyrics.
“Hi, everybody. See? No, no one Hi. Hi. No one else knows the words,” said Sam.
Heather then pointed out that fans “just haven’t gotten there yet,” and everybody knows the words to the song.”
It then took him a good amount of scrolling before the GMA co-host was able to find someone who knew the song in the comments section.
“It doesn’t necessarily mean that they thought of it, but if they did, then I love them. They are my new best friend”‘ Heather said.
Another fan admitted toward the end of the Live that they just knew the chorus.
“Now, you have to listen to the song on your way to work while you drive slowly and give yourself some extra time,” O’Rourke said, tying in the forecast.
Champion explained to fans that everything with O’Rourke’s personality is connected to a song.
“If we’re going to do this every day, you should know the weird things about Heather,” he said.
“There’s more, but we’ll learn them. We’ll learn them together.”
This comes as the former Dancing with the Stars contestant boasted about his weight loss in a new photo.
He has previously opened up about his body issues and journey to self love.
When he was eliminated from the program after an injury on October 10, his colleagues at GMA made sure to celebrate him
Given his rocky DWTS exit, Sam told fans upon his return that there is likely no more reality television in his future.
