Former NFL star Michael Strahan was joined by Eva Pilgrim and the weekend co-anchor Whit Johnson.
The former New York Giants defensive end appeared to mock Johnson for his chosen attire.
He called the presenter out for his black-framed glasses, jokingly pointing out their resemblance to the eyewear of Superman's alter ego Clark Kent.
Strahan said: “Whit, Superman, show them your glasses.”
Meanwhile, the hilarious on-air moment left Pilgrim giggling.
Johnson then put his glasses on to model them for the viewers, though he refrained from looking at the camera.
