The first was of half of her son’s face, holding a thermometer.
A Gatorade and pill bottle were seen on the table next to him.
The second one showed Ginger’s temperature, which read 103.3 degrees.
The last one was of a screenshot of something on her phone that told her to “Take it easy.”
“Your body temperature is still higher than normal. If you’re not feeling well, continue taking it easy,” it read.
The GMA host captioned the post: “I’ve got great care but these rolling fevers have taken me out. Hope to see you back on @goodmorningamerica soon. I was most excited to update the drought monitor today… #nerd Thanks @samwnek @amaranteweather @samchampion for holding it down.”
Fan-favorite Sam Champion filled in for her at the last minute, after he returned from his vacation.
OUCH!
Despite Sam doing a good thing and stepping in for Ginger at the last minute, he still got teased by his co-hosts.
Robin Roberts shaded his “shaky” weather report as he tried to use a sports analogy.
Sam epically failed, and Robin let him know that.
“Hey Robin. This is the winter that we learned what atmospheric storms really were, more than a dozen hitting the West Coast so far this season,” he said.
“And normally we get only two or three in a season. So, this has been weather chaos.
“It has been flooding. Getting the totals out of this has just been enormous.”
Sam continued: “Look at this – 240 inches of snow in Mountain Mammoth, California. Now, how do I relate that to people who don’t live there?”
The meteorologist joked: “So, you know me. I fall back on sports analogies, as I always do.”
Robin was heard groaning off-camera, and the crew started talking over each other as Sam made the analogy.
“If you took a basketball hoop, and you put two of them on top of each other-. Am I good, Robin? How am I doing right now?” he asked.
Robin groaned and said: “A little shaky.”
Sam continued: “-That still isn’t 240 inches of snow throughout that area.”
Robin shook her hand back and forth and laughed at his attempt.
OM-ZEE!
Before falling ill, Ginger turned heads in the studio when she wore peek-a-boo pants.
She stunned in the not-so-typical fashion look for her.
On Wednesday, Ginger posted a photo of her wearing the all-black style to Instagram.
“The pants were a hit @msmerylin — you were right. photo: @samwnek — check out my story for the details and fun story about how Merylin doesn’t follow directions,” she captioned the post.
The meteorologist smiled for the camera in a long-sleeve turtle neck with see-through pants and heels.
She also appeared to wear solid black shorts underneath the pants, which consisted of mostly mesh with black rectangles once they reached Ginger’s mid-thigh.
Ginger even stood with her hands in her pockets to show off all the bottoms had to offer.
She stood on the set of GMA and wore them throughout the whole broadcast.
Ginger typically wears modest pantsuits or dresses and skirts to work.
