The comedian explained that the pair had handled the worrying trip very differently.
She explained: "We were flying to Nantucket and there was a lightning storm. We all thought we were going to die, I was trying to calm everyone down at the back of the plane but when you dip very quickly I would say 'We're going to die!' then 'We're good, we're good,' and I just see his [George's] back the whole time and I think he's probably freaked out.

However, the pair proceeded to talk for hours on the date. The GMA star knew there was something special about his now-wife too, and recalled to New York Times: "You know how when you go on a date and he first 15 minutes are on automatic pilot?
"About 15 minutes in, she just leaned in and said something, and we were suddenly in another place, in another universe, immediately. We went from strangers to friends to being in love in days."
