‘No pants Tuesday.’ Reporter’s questionable wardrobe choice cracks up ‘GMA’ fans

Let’s face it, pants aren’t always necessary in today’s work-from-home climate.

But when you’re broadcasting live in front of a national TV audience, it may be best to put some pants on. We’re looking at you, Will Reeve.

The “Good Morning America” reporter was spotted by viewers Tuesday with a questionable wardrobe. Reeve wore a dress shirt and a blazer, but his bare legs were visible as he was not wearing pants.

“No Pants Tuesday on @GMA,” said one viewer of the ABC show.

“Watch it on the wide shots, sir,” another commenter said on Twitter. “There’s children present. And housewives. Lonely, lonely, housewives.”

Reeve, son of former “Superman” star Christopher Reeve, took the error of his wardrobe and camera angle in jest. He told one person on Twitter, “The more I look at this the more thigh I see. Yikes.”

“I have ARRIVED* *in the most hilariously mortifying way possible,” Reeve said on Twitter.

He later had a more thorough post explaining what went wrong. “Trying to be efficient I got ready for a post-GMA workout a little too soon this morning,” he tweeted. “The camera angle, along with friends, family and several hundred strangers on the social media made me rethink my morning routine. Any sartorial tips from these people who are wearing a belt, trousers and shoes during their work video calls at home are most welcome. Now, back to work. Wearing pants.”

It looks like Reeve has gained some new fans, too.

“To the @GMA reporter who forgot to wear pants for this morning’s broadcast: you are officially the most relatable person on television and my new favorite news anchor,” said one viewer.

His dad would be proud. Not all heroes wear capes — or perhaps, pants.
