George Stephanopoulos reveals another side to personality during live interaction with GMA co-stars

George Stephanopoulos may be known for his serious side, but the Good Morning America star also knows how to poke fun at himself from time to time!

The news anchor delighted his co-stars with his dry sense of humor on Wednesday's show, as the topic turned to the Summer Olympics.

When discussing what his Olympic medal would be for, co-star Lindsey Davis joked that George would get one in breakdancing, causing the anchor to laugh.

James Longman then told the best-selling author during a later segment of the show that he should try synchronized swimming, to which he responded: "Don't hold your breath, James," adding to the laughs in the studio.

George has a close bond with his GMA co-stars, and has worked on the ABC news show since 2009, joining after Diane Sawyer left the show.

He has worked alongside Robin Roberts for 15 years, and in 2022, the pair were recognized as being the longest-running co-stars on TV, having then marked 13 years on the show together.

Michael Strahan, meanwhile, joined the show in 2016. Michael previously spoke about noticing a personality change with George over the years since working with him, which he  jokingly revealed in a rare joint interview with his co-stars in 2022.

Talking to AP News, Michael said that George "is laughing more than I've ever seen him laugh." He added that the star had "loosened up," over the time he had known him.

The star is married to comedian Ali Wentworth, who also helps to ensure his days are filled with laughter. The Go Ask Ali podcast star often shares hilarious stories about their family life in interviews, from their home life with their daughters to their relationship.
