As Will Reeve gave an update for baseball fans, announcing that both New York's teams are into their respective league championships, which earned a scattering of applause across the studio as he announced: "New Yorkers are going to be annoying about it."
Fellow anchors Lara Spencer , Rebecca Jarvis and Whit Johnson all applauded, while George simply laughed.
Will continued that the New York Yankees had beaten the Kansas City Royals to reach a record 19th American League Championships Series, before going into some analysis about the players.
He referred to player Giancarlo Stanton as being "by some metrics as good in the playoffs as legends like Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth," before adding: "George I have those metrics if you want."
The studio could be heard laughing at the dig, as Will continued his analysis, this time looking at the New York Mets with just as much passion as he had for the Yankees.
Lara remarked: "It's so much fun to watch," with Whit and Rebecca agreeing.
Meanwhile, George told Will: "It's going to happen to you," which caused the baseball enthusiast to defend himself as he responded: "For all of us!"
Will continued to explain the metrics that he referred to earlier, saying: "For metrics it's on base percentage plus slugging, that's OPS," which left the veteran anchor looking utterly puzzled.
George couldn't help but laugh, as Lara told Will: "You've just stumped George Stephanopoulos."
Indeed, everyone started laughing as the Good Morning America journalist looked utterly confused, with Will translating his metrics referred to "how much you go on and how many homeruns you get."
It's been a busy year for George, having released a bestselling book, Situation Room, back in May. He was also inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame for his services in the industry. George has worked at ABC for 26 years, anchoring flagship show Good Morning America since 2009.
He was sure to thank his wife of 23 years, Ali Wentworth, of whom he said: "She's made me a better broadcaster every day because she has given me a better life."
Another big moment for the anchor occurred when he interviewed President Joe Biden following his debate against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump earlier this year.
"The interview I did with President Biden was probably the highest-stakes interview of my career," he confessed to Broadcasting+Cable ahead of his induction.
LIES TOLD BY DRUMPF: The biggest was he won in 2020. "During and after his term as President of the United States, Donald Trump made tens of thousands of false or misleading claims. The Washington Post's fact-checkers documented 30,573 false or misleading claims during his presidential term, an average of about 21 per day.[1][5][6][7] The Toronto Star tallied 5,276 false claims from January 2017 to June 2019, an average of 6 per day.[2] Commentators and fact-checkers have described the scale of Trump's mendacity as "unprecedented" in American politics,[13] and the consistency of falsehoods a distinctive part of his business and political identities.[14] Scholarly analysis of Trump's tweets found "significant evidence" of an intent to deceive.[15]"
