ANOTHER VACATION

This is not the first time this year, or this Summer, that George has been absent from the show for an extended period of time.

Back in late June, George and Ali took another vacation.

The actress shared a picture of them on a fishing trip in Montauk.

The image was captioned: “We’re going to need a bigger boat!”

Before that, the husband and wife jetted off to Paris, where they shared many pictures of their trip.

They captioned the snaps: “Paris is for lovers” and “Paris night out avec Mon Amour..”

BREAKING HIS SILENCE

The last post George shared on social media was on August 5 after a long hiatus.

The 61-year-old shared details of his chat with Major Tom Schueman and his Afghan translator Zainullah Zaki about their new book.

His post came just days after he mocked a video of his GMA co-host Robin Roberts.

Earlier this month, he quipped “you were young and hungry huh?” after a clip of an unrecognizable-looking Roberts dancing and singing in 1984 was played to GMA viewers.

An embarrassed Robin hit back: “I needed the money George, I needed the money.

“I can’t believe you said that.”

It has been widely reported that the two anchors came to blows last year amid allegations of sexual assault by a Good Morning America producer.

Robin also noted that she had only told her colleagues about the clip during a commercial break.

Her co-host Lara Spencer replied: “Guess what, you shouldn’t have done that.”

Later, Robin shared the clip to her Instagram page, writing: “Talk about waaaaay back Wednesday.

“It was 1984 and yes @gstephanopoulos I was young and hungry!!”

And one fan noted: “I’ve never seen Robin with ‘I’m gonna murder you in your sleep’ eyes before.”

Another said: “George wait till they find one with you.”
