David Muir's time on World News Tonight has resulted in several incredible stories and interviews over the years, but he recently relived one that left him quite shaken.
While on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he spoke to the co-hosts about a vacation he'd taken with Kelly Ripa's family, which was interrupted by an urgent assignment.

Kelly shared that David had to interview the Pope while on their trip, and he revealed that they'd only agreed to the interview if it was done completely in Spanish.
"I have PTSD, you knew I would!" he said, adding that while he had some experience with the language, it definitely stressed him out. "The trip comes, and I'm panicked."

Kelly even joked about watching him trying to speak the language with her husband Mark Consuelos, who added: "I don't even speak Spanish."

David added some levity to the compliment, however, by quipping at the end: "And he is no fun," which the two hosts denied in good faith.
