Don’t call her ma’am.

Lara Spencer scolded jokingly “The Night Agent” star Gabriel Basso for the one-word title he gave her during their interview on “Good Morning America” Wednesday.

After discussing season 2 of Basso’s Netflix action seriesSpencer praised the actor for being “so authentic.”

“That’s why people love you, you’re very true to yourself and true to your craft,” the journalist said. “Everything I’ve read about you has just been incredibly complimentary and the show speaks for itself. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I hope you come back.”

As Spencer finished the interview promoting “The Night Agent” one more time, she looked at Basso and said, “Come back, please.”

“Yes ma’am,” Basso replied – prompting a big reaction from Spencer.

She threw up her arms and laughed as she said, “Don’t call me ma’am.”

Someone off-camera was heard to say “Oh!” about the exchange.
