Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos have the sort of working relationship on Good Morning America that can go from professional to good-naturedly snippy in seconds.

Such was the case during a segment on the show's latest installment, talking about the imbalance in a household between the work put in by mothers and fathers.

Robin, George, Lara Spencer, and TJ Holmes listened to the interviews and clips being shared, and as it came to a close, Robin simply turned to her co-hosts beside her and questioned: "Men?" with a cheeky smile.

Expecting a response to the story, George simply added: "We have no defense, let's not even try," to the amusement of Robin and Lara.

Robin and George often joke around on set

TJ came back with an even stronger reply, motioning to correspondent Eva Pilgrim and saying: "I offered to do this report for you, so you didn't have to work."

While most of the studio was left in hysterics, Robin simply sighed and put on a resigned expression as she jokingly just shook her head.

She then turned to TJ and said: "You just always find a way, don't you?" while motioning for Lara to take over with Pop News, and found her shaking her head too.

These moments involving the co-hosts come around pretty frequently throughout the show, adding to the light atmosphere among the oftentimes grim news segments.
