Yahoo Lifestyle Susan Lucci Throws Water in Michael Strahan's Face During Morning Show Appearance
All My Children alum Susan Lucci knows how to ramp up the drama—and a recent appearance on Good Morning America ended with her throwing water in co-host Michael Strahan's face.
On Monday, Feb. 24, Lucci spoke about her Off-Broadway play My First Ex-Husband on GMA. The actress, 78, also gave Strahan, 53, a lesson in soap opera villainy.
"Last time you were here, you put those chops to the test. You taught me the good old fake TV slap," Strahan told her. "So how do you take a good soap opera fight to the next level?"
"I think we have more in us," Lucci agreed. "I think we can go for it."
She then walked Strahan through throwing a glass of water in someone's face.
"I think it's really important to not just out of nowhere, just all of a sudden, have a fight. You got to have the fight and then be in that moment where you are really, really ticked off."
After Lucci said that a prop "really helps, too," she and Strahan raised their voices in a fake fight before the actress doused him with a cup of water.
Most of the water missed Strahan the first time, so the former NFL player egged Lucci on for another take.
"C'mon, let's do this thing right. Get the aim right," he said.
Her second attempt at throwing water in Strahan's face was perfect—but to really drive the point home, a producer gave Lucci a pitcher of water, which she then poured over Strahan's head.
On Instagram, GMA posted photos of the fabricated argument, writing, "To really make sure we nailed the take, @therealsusanlucci had to throw water on @michaelstrahan not one, not two, but THREE times 😂."
