Since leaving his influential gig as host of This Week, George Stephanopoulos has had to adjust to the lighter, free-form style of ABC’s Good Morning America. While some critics have called him a bit uptight, most chalk up any early critiques to growing pains. However, perhaps in a concerted effort to loosen George up, today he received a rather startling birthday surprise: his wife Ali Wentworth‘s imitation of Diane Sawyer followed by a shocking stiptease-like reveal. It was, by turns, funny-strange AND funny-ha-ha!

To George’s credit, he played off of this somewhat odd and staged moment very well, though it did appear to be a complete surprise to him. And to Wentworth’s credit – she really went for it! It was not just a delightful insight into their marital dynamic, but a refreshing example of known personality playing the fool in the name of good, goofy fun. It appears that neither George nor Ali take themselves too seriously.

Happy birthday George!

“I shaved my legs and made you a steak”. It’s an All-American, male birthday.
(Happy 49th – George)

I think it was a little inapproariate to do in front of kids. Leave it in the bedroom, George!

Jebus, I hope the steak doesn’t look as tough as his wife.

I think George is a stiff and his wife was pathetic. that was embarrassing. Oprah keeps trying to push his wife on her show, too—not good. My dad used to work for ABC–in the good old days. What is going on? Used to be a great network….. Can’t they get Diane to come back and do double duty—-world news and GMA? it is unwatchable now. no chemistry. If Diane can’t do double duty–just leave Robyn and Sam—George is a waste. I may have to go back to Today (horrors!!)
