Last week, Sam had his “first day” really testing the knee as he walked on a treadmill in an Instagram video. One social media user wrote: “Great seeing on Irish dancing!” The Good Morning America star broke out into a jig in celebration and some of his Twitter followers reached out about his “great” moves. Patrick’s Day, Sam showed how much better his knee was feeling as he busted some dance moves on air, though fans had concerns. Later, the weatherman told viewers the swelling had reduced by around three-quarters. He said doctors told him he had arthritis in his knee that he didn’t previously know about. Sam revealed the doctors told him that some sort of motion “triggered” the injury.

While she liked joking about it, Robin admitted she is “done” with proms after going “twice” when she was younger. The meteorologist stuttered as he told her: “I would! I so would! Robin, I would!” On Monday, Robin told Sam they had high school students doing a live “promposal” on GMA later that morning, and he just chuckled in response.īut added a bit more to his reaction once the host jokingly asked him: “Will you go to the prom with me, Sam?” She has warned the meteorologist that his surprising suggestion has “disaster written all over it.”ĪBCGMA’s Robin Roberts quickly shut down Sam Champions suggestion during Monday’s live showĪBCHe said they should crash a random prom one day, but she wanted that had ‘disaster written all over it’ I know I don’t.Ĭ.C.: I certainly wouldn’t put it past her to change my copy in the prompter.GOOD Morning America host Robin Roberts has had to quickly shut down Sam Champion live on air on Tuesday.

S.C.: When I was doing local weather full time, I would wake up in the morning or stay up all night to make sure the snowflakes started at the time that I said they would. S.C.: Well, that would be presupposing that I got it wrong! C.C.: That’s my man, Sam! Was it more fun when you could get it wrong? Weather forecasting is almost boringly accurate now. I have been doing weather since I graduated from college. I wasn’t fortunate enough to be in a part of the country where that was readily accessible.

S.C.: Oh, my God! When I was going to college, there were probably four colleges in the nation that offered a major in meteorology. Sam, I was curious, not having a degree in meteorology, how do you know that you’re actually getting the weather right? “I’ve always loved you! I remember wanting to be you in grade school!” Is this the first time you’ve worked together?Ĭ.C.: I think we’ve probably been on the show when we were each subbing at the time, but this is the first time I’ve gotten to see the man in action.
