GMA’S Janai Norman has been called by her co-host Dr. Darien Sutton for her behavior during commercial breaks.
Darien made a jab after Janai shared a video of herself laughing with co-host Gio Benitez while presenting a segment outside.
In the clip, Janai and Gio – who are filling in for Amy Robach, and TJ Holmes – were hosting a segment for GMA3 in front of cheering crowds.
Janai was seen laughing with Gio, before suddenly looking somber and scowling at the camera.
She posted the brief clip on Instagram and jokingly captioned it: “When you’re an extroverted introvert and your social battery dies mid-party.”
Dr. Darien – who appeared on GMA3 with Janai last week – couldn’t resist making a dig in the comments, joking that she’s quiet and introverted when the cameras aren’t rolling.
He said playfully: “What I see during commercial breaks.”
Janai appeared on GMA all of last week while filling in for Amy Robach.
Both Amy, 49, and her co-host TJ Holmes, 45, were removed from GMA3 after their alleged affair was exposed in November.
They will reportedly remain off-air until an internal review of their “affair” has been completed.

Fans have been praising Janai’s performance and even urging bosses to hire the GMA weekend anchor permanently.
After GMA3’s Instagram account shared a video of Janai talking about flu season, viewers flooded the comments with their praise.

“She’s beautiful and has a wonderful husband and kids she also has morals and won’t shame her family.”
Another posted, “Keep janai,” and a third added: “Janai I hope you are on all week.”
Janai was hired as GMA’s weekend anchor back in July after joining the show in 2019.
TJ and Amy have been off-air since the public caught wind of their “affair”.
STEAMY ‘AFFAIR’
They were spotted enjoying what looked like a series of PDA-filled “dates” and even a weekend getaway together in November.
In pictures obtained by DailyMail, the TV stars looked intimate while having a drink at a bar in New York City on November 10.
They were also caught apparently spending time together at each other’s apartments in Manhattan.
The pair – who began anchoring GMA3 in 2020 – reportedly headed to upstate New York on November 11 for a weekend getaway at a cottage two weeks before Thanksgiving.
Just last week, the couple was caught kissing and cuddling in Miami.
Last month, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that it looked like TJ and Amy were going to be “pushed out” of the buttoned-up morning show.
The source close to production of the family-oriented ABC news program said execs and top talent were furious over co-stars Amy and TJ’s alleged romance, which has rocked the GMA staff and thrown production into absolute chaos.
The insider said: “There is no way they are going to be able to stay at GMA.
“They may not be outright fired, but they’ll be relegated to lesser roles, which will make it undesirable for them to continue.”
