Ali Wentworth Roasts Husband Stephanopoulos on ABC’s Good Morning America

On Wednesday’s Good Morning America on ABC, after she talked about her latest film, It’s Complicated, actress Ali Wentworth subjected husband and new GMA anchor George Stephanopoulos to some jabs as she and co-anchor Robin Roberts spent a few minutes talking about him. Wentworth joked that as they were about to meet for the first time for a blind date, "I knew who he was and wasn’t interested ... I don't even think I took a shower that day, honey, sorry."

She further teased her husband by revealing that he cried at the end of the film Enchanted, and by recounting that the entire family sleeps together with the family dog. Wentworth: "We all sleep in the same bed. There, I'm just going to say it. Parent magazine can come after us. So, it's me, George, the two girls, and our dog, Charlie. And so, when we wake up in the morning, we're usually covered in pee, and we don't know whose it is."

Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Wednesday, December 23, Good Morning America on ABC:

ALI WENTWORTH: Those girlfriend scenes when we're at dinner, I didn't even know when we were shooting, when we weren't shooting. I mean, we were really getting into it.

ROBIN ROBERTS: That's why it looks so authentic.

WENTWORTH: Meryl Streep, Meryl Streep knows things about George that no one else knows.

ROBERTS: Whooaa, all right. I'm going to ask you a little bit, I'm going to ask you a little bit about that because you all are the shining example of opposites attract. I mean, how did you guys meet?

WENTWORTH: Yeah. Well, I'm the more serious, introverted one. And George is a little wacky and off-the-cuff. We met, we were set up on a blind date. And I, of course, knew who he was, and wasn't interested. And he didn't know who I was. And we met at Barney's for lunch, just in case I needed my Kiehl's body scrub after. And I just, I had no expectations. I don't even think I took a shower that day, honey, sorry. But we sat down and we started talking. And I'm telling you, like a good melon, by the end of lunch, we were so smitten. And we were engaged two months later.

ROBERTS: When you know it, you know it, huh?

WENTWORTH: When you know it, you know it. And I'm telling you, to this day he'll walk in the front door, and my heart still goes pitter-patter.

ROBERTS: Aw. Okay, now, we can bring George in.

WENTWORTH: Now, I better get a good Christmas present, George!

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: I was going to say, if you believe that-

ROBERTS: Oh, come on. But, Ali, tell us something that we don't know about George.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Or not.

ROBERTS: Oh, no no, no, no, no. Has he, has he ever without his tie? Does he ever take the tie off? Come on.

WENTWORTH: No, he sleeps in his boxers and a tie, which is weird because sometimes it gets caught around his neck. I'll tell you something about George, Robin.

ROBERTS: Okay.

WENTWORTH: He cried at the end of the movie Enchanted.

ROBERTS: Awww, with the girls, yeah.

STEPHANOPOULOS: That's right. I was next to Elliott, and we shared a moment.

WENTWORTH: Yep, and our seven-year-old has been humiliated ever since, she won’t go out to the movies ever anymore.

ROBERTS: So he is a softy at heart.

WENTWORTH: He is a softy at heart.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Not really, but she can say it. It's okay.

ROBERTS: And has his new morning routine, I mean, you know, a seven-year-old, a four-year-old, I mean, is it disruptive in the house?

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a little less disruptive.

WENTWORTH: Robin, here's the thing. We all sleep in the same bed. There, I'm just going to say it. Parent magazine can come after us. So, it's me, George, the two girls, and our dog, Charlie. And so, when we wake up in the morning, we're usually covered in pee, and we don't know whose it is.

ROBERTS: You know, I thought, I thought maybe, George, we could get through the interview. I thought maybe. You know, it's the first one.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Without pee, right.

ROBERTS: And when I, when I said to George, hey, don't worry, George, I'll, you know, about the interview. I'll be, you know, it'll be fine. He said, I'm not worried, he wasn't worried about me, he was worried about you, Ali, and now-

STEPHANOPOULOS: No, I was worried about me because of her, but that's okay.

WENTWORTH: Honey, I've learned my lesson.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Oh, I can tell.

ROBERTS: It's good. Well, Ali, I said this. When we both come back from the holidays, we're going out to lunch. I want the handbook. I want the handbook on George and how to handle him.

WENTWORTH: It is this thick, Robin.

ROBERTS: At least.

WENTWORTH: But, yes, I'll tell you everything you need to know.

ROBERTS: All right. Well, you all have a wonderful, wonderful holiday with the girls. And we just love having you as part of the GMA family. Thanks so much.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Thank you, Robin.

ROBERTS: And see George, that wasn't so bad.

WENTWORTH: And Robin, I'm sure you're going to get some of the, Robin, you're going to get some of George's homemade toffee. He's been up all night making toffee for everyone at ABC.

ROBERTS: Oh, really? Oh, we can't wait.

WENTWORTH: Yes.

ROBERTS, WITH SARCASM: Gee, toffee. You shouldn't have. You all have a good time. Welcome to the GMA family.

WENTWORTH: Bye

ROBERTS: Bye, we’ll see you, and I’m serious about that lunch, Ali. You know I’m serious about that lunch.

WENTWORTH: If you pay, I’m there.
