The two have actually been pretty close friends over the years, and it all started when Ripa reached out to him via email after seeing him on TV. She spoke about their first-ever encounter to Ryan Seacrest, saying, “I remember when I first saw David Muir file a report for World News Tonight. I didn’t know him at all.”
She continues, “I immediately cracked into the ABC News system email – which you’re not supposed to use unless it’s for news – and I wrote: ‘Dude. You looked amazing tonight. Don’t know what was going on. Looked kinda dangerous where you are. But just wanted to let you know that you looked amazing. I had the volume down.'”
