Manti Te'o appears to be slowly but surely getting over the girlfriend hoax story that rocked his life ... 'cause he just poked fun at the situation during one of his first appearances at his new NFL Network job -- and it was hilarious!!
Te'o -- who officially joined the NFL Network this week -- made the funny while appearing on Friday's edition of "Good Morning Football."
One of the segments on the show required him to answer some trivia questions about his alma mater -- the University of Notre Dame -- and when he began to struggle to come up with correct responses, he dropped a zinger about not Googling himself that had the whole room laughing.
