GMA’s Michael Strahan calls out famous face and mocks her pronunciation of an everyday word
MICHAEL Strahan has appeared to mock a famous TV chef and her pronunciation of an everyday word.
The Good Morning America anchor shared a viral clip of British TV star Nigella Lawson saying the word “microwave.”
Strahan posted to his Facebook page earlier this month: “It’s no secret I don’t use a microwave, BUT what just happened??? LOLOL.”
He shared side-by-side footage of the viral clip of Lawson while he raises his eyebrows and looks confused.
TV chef Lawson sent fans into meltdown with the bizarre way she pronounces “microwave” back in December 2020.
She was preparing a dish of mashed potatoes when she mangled the name of the common household appliance, calling it a “meecro-wa-vay.”
Nigella later weighed in on the pronunciation confusion when a fan tweeted her saying: “Am I the only one who thought @Nigella_Lawson was being sarcastic when she pronounced Meecro-wavé?!
“Now, I’m starting to think she really pronounces it like that?”
She replied: “Well, I do say it like that, but not because I think that’s how it’s actually pronounced.”
RETURN TO SCREENS
Strahan fans were stunned by the clip, writing: “That’s hilarious…Michael your face tells it ALLLLLL.”

Strahan later shocked fans with a rude moment during a Sunday episode of his game show, The $100,000 Pyramid.
The TV host, 50, returned to viewers’ screens on July 19’s edition of GMA after a lengthy break.
He had been absent while promoting his game show The $100,000 Pyramid.
Strahan is also the executive producer of the medical drama The Front Line.
Strahan’s return came days after Gio Benitez sat in the GMA anchor’s chair for the first time.
The transport correspondent, 36, co-hosted the program alongside Amy Robach and George Stephanopolous on July 14 and was widely welcomed by fans.
Viewers had speculated if there would be a shake-up on GMA amid Strahan’s absence.
