According to a U.S. Sun reporter in the audience, Lara walked to stand dead center on the outdoor stage setup in New York City during some test shots.
Fans began to cheer for the news anchor and the crowd-warmer comedian Tom took notice.
He shouted into his microphone: “Give it up for Lara Spencer!”
As fans began to roar, Lara didn’t wave back or acknowledge their excitement to see her.
Lara sharply turned her back on her fans.
She made her cold getaway and walked further upstage away from her adoring crowd.
Moments later, Lara re-emerged from her backstage hair and makeup setup to prep to go live on camera beside her co-host Sam Champion.
‘MISTAKE!’
Also at the GMA Summer Concert Series Friday morning, the comedian Tom was warming up the audience when he made a head-turning remark.
Tom shocked the crowd as he made an inappropriate joke to a child while off-camera.
According to The U.S. Sun reporter in the audience, the funnyman was in the middle of his routine when he directed his jokes at an elementary school-aged child after he noticed he was standing next to a grown woman.
“That could be your first cougar. Play it right and in five years that could be your prom date,” Tom joked as the crowd gasped at his remark.
“That was a mistake…” Tom added, noticing the shocked reaction.
According to his official website, the 36-year-old is a “stand-up comedian best known for his work as a ‘warm-up comic’ at ABC’s The View, GMA, The $100,000 Pyramid and America’s Got Talent.”
LARA’S GETAWAY
Just last week, Lara made a vacation getaway and took her daughters and husband on a family trip to Greece.
The ABC News correspondent recently shared a sweet photo with her husband, Richard McVey.
The couple posed together at a romantic spot with the sunset in the background.
The two appeared to be “appreciating every minute.”
Lara shares daughter Katharine Paige, 18, and son Duff Haffenreffer with her ex-husband David Haffenreffer.
She tagged her location in Oia, Santorini, a village in Greece.

“K1ds and hubb1es t00-Such fun! And not the first time I connected with a colleague at the GMA Mykonos bureau-swipe right to see.”
