George Stephanopoulos may be a giant in the news business, but “Good Morning America” has changed its set to cover up his diminutive size.

“He’s 5-foot-6 and is dwarfed by human trees Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan,” says an insider. “ ‘GMA’ initially thought using an anchor desk with elevated chairs would help the problem. Still awkward, George’s little-boyish mini-legs were seen dangling.”

So a month ago, a silver panel was added across from the anchor desk at midlevel, covering up where Stephanopoulos’ feet rested on his chair, which up to then had been “visible and awkward.”

Reportedly, Stephanopoulos is 5-foot-7, Roberts is 5-foot-10, and Strahan is a whopping 6-foot-5. Height has been an ongoing issue on the ABC show.

Back in 2011, there were rumors Stephanopoulos could be swapped out after network execs liked the way that 6-foot-3 Josh Elliott looked next to Roberts.

In 2010, Page Six reported that ABC staffers were gossiping that Roberts continued to wear high heels to tower over Stephanopoulos as “a sign of power.”

But George’s wife, Ali Wentworth, has no problem with her husband’s stature, having said, “He’s 5-foot-7. But 6-foot-7 in bed!”
