Michael Strahan is used to surprises on Good Morning America, 

but nothing could have prepared him for the unexpected drenching he received from none other than soap opera royalty, Susan Lucci. 

The Emmy-winning actress, best known for her role as Erica Kane on All My Children, 

took live television to a whole new level when she threw water in Strahan’s face—not once, not twice, but three times.

A Lesson in Soap Opera Drama Gone Hilariously Wrong

The moment unfolded during a lighthearted discussion about dramatic TV fight scenes. 

Lucci, a seasoned pro in the world of high-stakes drama, was explaining what makes an on-screen argument truly believable. 

“First of all, I think it’s really important to, you know, not just out of nowhere, just all of a sudden have a fight,” she explained, setting the stage for what was about to become a viral moment. “You have to be in that moment where you are really, really ticked off and really angry.”

As she broke down the elements of a good scene, she emphasized the importance of using props to heighten the drama. Sitting in front of her? A perfect, untouched glass of water. And with Strahan sitting right next to her, the opportunity was simply too good to pass up.

Strahan’s First Splash—And He Never Saw It Coming

Completely unaware of what was about to happen, Strahan playfully lifted his own glass of water, perhaps thinking they were simply demonstrating the mechanics of a classic soap opera fight. But before he could react, Lucci took matters into her own hands—literally—and threw the water straight at him.

Strahan, caught completely off guard, wiped his face and laughed. “I still got wet, though!” he said, shaking his head in amused disbelief. The moment had everyone in the studio roaring with laughter, but little did he know—Lucci was just getting started.

The Perfect Take—And Another Soaking

Strahan, ever the good sport, decided to roll with the joke, jokingly challenging Lucci to improve her aim. “Oh, we got more water? Let’s do this thing right. Get the aim right.”

Without hesitation, Lucci accepted the challenge. This time, her aim was flawless, and the splash landed squarely in the middle of Strahan’s face. The studio erupted in laughter once again as Strahan mockingly gasped and wiped the water from his face.

“How dare you miss me the first time,” he joked. “How dare you do it perfectly the second time!”

Third Time’s the Charm?

With the energy in the studio reaching peak hilarity, Strahan couldn’t help but wonder if there would be a third attempt. By now, it was clear that Lucci was having way too much fun with the bit. Whether or not she had planned to throw water at him in the first place is still up for debate, but the result was undeniably comedic gold.

While Lucci has spent decades perfecting dramatic scenes on television, this impromptu moment proved that her quick-witted humor and showmanship are just as sharp as ever. And Strahan, ever the good sport, played along perfectly, making the entire exchange even more entertaining for GMA viewers.

A Classic Morning Show Moment

Live television is known for its unpredictable moments, but this unexpected water fight between Michael Strahan and Susan Lucci will surely go down as one of GMA’s funniest segments. Strahan, known for his laid-back and humorous personality, took the unexpected prank in stride, proving once again why he’s such a beloved presence on the morning show.

As for Lucci? Well, she reminded everyone why she’s a soap opera icon—delivering a perfectly dramatic, unscripted moment that had everyone talking. Whether or not Strahan will be reaching for a towel the next time she’s a guest on the show remains to be seen!
