GEORGE Stephanopoulos has fought back after being mocked for his cooking skills.

The Good Morning America host pitched in for a live cooking segment, but his attempts didn’t go over too well.

In a clip from the show shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, George, 62, was joined by celebrity chef Ming Tsai.

The duo made and taste-tested a selection of dishes for the Lunar New Year, while Ming also shared details about the cultural significance of the food for the Chinese holiday.

However, while Ming went from frying pan to blender at a fast pace, daytime TV star George struggled to keep up.

Kicking off the segment, the duo made pork and cabbage dumplings.

Ming instructed George to put a spoonful of filling on the wrapper, but immediately pointed out that he’d been far too generous in his portion.

After George spooned some out, Ming then showed him how to close and fold the parcels.

As Ming expertly pinched his dumpling, George created a much clumsier imitation.

“Not bad,” the television star said of his work.

“You’re close, you’re halfway there,” Ming diplomatically responded, before showing him how to fold the dumpling again.

“Yeah, that’s not bad, George,” he said, as he moved the host’s dumpling into the frying pan, before saying, “Yeah, you know,” as George reminded him it was his first time making them.

The duo and the audience burst out laughing at Ming’s tongue-in-cheek tone, with George exclaiming, “So it was bad! That’s what he’s saying.”

“No, it wasn’t bad, I mean, you’re not a dragon, right?” joked Ming, referring to the zodiac animal for 2024.

BOOKSMART

On-air blunders aside, George has plenty of other projects on the go, and lately revealed his latest side hustle; a book called The Situation Room: The Inside Story of Presidents in Crisis.

According to Amazon, the book will be released on May 14.

Robin Roberts first introduced the book on GMA back in October, and sat alongside George as he received a round of applause at the exciting news.

“I am so excited about this,” the host told his co-workers.

“We’ve been working it for about a year and a half. Just finished the edits on Saturday.”

George went on to say that it’s a “history of the White House’s Situation Room, which is the nerve center, created by John Kennedy.

“It’s really the place where all the crises are managed.”

Some examples he gave were 9/11, the killing of Osama Bin Laden, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

“I can’t wait for people to read it,” George excitedly concluded.

FAMILY MAN

George’s live cooking skills suggest that he may not be the chief chef of his family, whom he often gushes about on social media.

The star and his wife Ali Wentworth, 59, share two daughters: Elliott, 21, and Harper, 18.

Back in August, Ali admitted it was “brutal” having an empty nest as Harper headed off to college.

On Instagram, she lamented, “We dropped our baby off at college. Everyone is saying ‘she’s ready to launch’!

“But…I don’t think I’m ready! I don’t want to stop making pasta with vodka sauce, picking up wet towels, cuddling up to her familiar scent.”

She concluded, “As Joni Mitchell once wrote – ‘The bed’s too big, the frying pan too wide.’ I know our daughter will thrive. But man, it’s brutal on the parents. If you feel inclined – please send me baked goods. I’ll be under my covers.”
