It’s only been a couple of weeks since Sam shocked fans by making an announcement about his career change.
He tricked viewers by saying he was going to be on GMA on Thursday, but it wasn’t to report on the weather – it was to reveal his new gig on DWTS.
This past week, the meteorologist had been preparing for his move to LA, where the dance competition series films.
Ahead of his Friday departure, Sam went live on Instagram to ask his followers to help out a bit with his packing.
With such a big change happening in his life, the GMA personality wanted to make sure nothing important slipped his mind.
He profusely thanked fans after they pointed out he had, in fact, done just that.
Sam, who will be paired with pro dancer Cheryl Burke on the show, started cracking up in absolute shock when quite a few users noticed he’d forgotten some key items for his trip.
“Underwear! Oh my God,” he said, before being unable to stop laughing for a short while.

The new reality star added: “I have no socks and no underwear. See! Thank you, guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
“Because that would not have been a good place to be, right?”
“I have this,” he said, pointing out his white T-shirt. “But I have nothing– yes, socks, OK. Thank you.”
Sam continued: “All of you are now going, ‘Socks, underwear, socks, underwear.’ So, how did I miss that? And you guys are all on top of it?”
One fan shared a clip of the IG Live moment and wrote with it: “@SamChampion packing for @officialdwts and forgetting a few important things. Good luck, Sam!!”
He shared it on his own Twitter and replied: “Hahahahah!!”
“What did I forget when packing for @officialdwts on @DisneyPlus,” he added in a tease, trying to get his other fans to watch the clip to find out. “Thank u guys.”
Sam surprised fans with his major career change as Lara Spencer announced, live on GMA a couple of weeks ago, that he would be on season 31 on DWTS.
“We’re going to start with a very special celebrity that is joining the cast. He is going to take the dance floor by storm, that is a clue,” she said.
The host added: “He has a winning name. That’s a clue. Everyone, please welcome to the cast of Dancing With The Stars, our very own Samuel Champion!”
Sam came out in his dancing outfit, twirling an umbrella.
“Wow. Props already,” Lara said.
She asked Sam if he was ready for the outfits, spray tans, the workouts, and work ethic that goes into being on the show.
“You already know me and the answer to all of that is no,” Sam joked.
He recently shared that he’s been starting prep for the show, which has not been a “comfy” experience.
The DWTS personality admitted he’s been trying to break his dancing shoes in, which has been causing many “blisters.”
