‘ON-AIR BLUNDER’ – GMA host Whit Johnson causes Chaos among co-hosts. Viewers left Stunned, SAYING ‘He Needs To Go Back To School.’ What really happened?
GOOD Morning America’s Whit Johnson has epically failed while live on the morning show.
MIXING UP “SHAKE AND BAKE” TO “BAKE AND SHAKE” HAD VIEWERS JOKING THAT WHIT JOHNSON NEEDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL. A MOMENT THAT HAD EVERYONE IN STITCHES.
Whit slipped up and accidentally said the wrong thing during a segment on GMA, and his co-hosts laughed at him for his on-air blunder.

During an episode of the morning talk show, the 40-year-old showed off his basketball skills while he interviewed players from the iconic Harlem Globetrotters team.
The ABC anchor excitedly dribbled with an invisible ball on the stage, flexing his ball-handling abilities before he asked one of the Globetrotters to pass him the “rock [ball].”
He then proceeded to bounce an actual basketball, doing a clever trick that everyone on the stage seemed to find impressive.
Whit explained that he was flaunting his athleticism on live TV because his co-host Eva Pilgrim, 40, asked him to do so.
Trying to sound hip, the media personality revealed that Eva “requested” to see “the bake and shake.”
Immediately Eva, and his other co-host for the hour Janai Norman, 32, began to giggle at the way he mixed up the popular sports phrase: “Shake and bake.”
Realizing his error, Whit quickly corrected: “Or the shake and bake,” prompting Eva and Janai to laugh harder alongside the Globetrotters who were beside them on stage.
Whit shared a clip from the show where he was having fun with Globetrotters and his co-anchors on his personal Instagram account.
He captioned the video: “Ready to Shake n Bake with the world famous @harlemglobetrotters !! Guess I’ll stick to soccer.”
WITTY WHIT
No matter what, Whit always remains witty, whether on-air or online.
Last month, Whit jumped to a quick-witted response on social media after a studio mishap.
In a morning Instagram Story from January, Whit re-posted a picture of him and three grinning GMA co-hosts, including meteorologist Danielle Breezy, 36, holding mugs behind the surface of a saturated trashed desk.
Johnson said: “Whoops! Someone spilled the coffee on the @goodmorningamerica! I wonder which one of us did this?”
He continued to explain that he “love[s] working with these genuine and amazing people.”
But Whit was quick to deny the allegations, despite posing in the photograph with a shocked face.
The beloved GMA reporter recently used his platform to call out romance scams.
“As ‘Dating Sunday’ approaches, the biggest dating day of the year, officials are warning that romance scams cost Americans nearly $1 billion last year,” the tweet, originally posted by the GMA account on January 6, read.
Another post was when Whit paid tribute to late journalist Barbara Walters.
Janai was forced to apologize to her fellow reporter live on air recently.
