money "GMA3” Replaced Former Co-Hosts Amy Robach And T.J. Holmes With These Anchors
After five months and a scandal that rocked morning television, the third hour of Good Morning America has finally settled on its new lineup of hosts.
In case you forgot, the show’s final hour, titled GMA3: What You Need to Know, was co-hosted by Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes. Robach hosted a previous iteration of the show before Holmes joined her as a co-anchor in September 2020.
Just over two years later, the duo left the network in January 2022 following reports of an alleged romantic relationship. They had been taken off the air prior to their ousting.
The alleged romance was all the more surprising considering the co-hosts were married to other people. In 2010, Holmes married attorney Marilee Fiebig.
That same year, Robach also married actor Andrew Shue. Both couples reportedly split last year.
Nevertheless, it’s a new day over at GMA as ABC announced on Thursday the anchors permanently filling Robach and Holmes’s shoes, and they’re all familiar faces in the ABC News family.
Jennifer Ashton, ABC News and GMA’s chief medical correspondent, has been a contributor and co-host on GMA3 since 2020 when the third hour primarily focused on pandemic-related news.
She’ll be joined by DeMarco Morgan and Eva Pilgrim. Both are longtime ABC News employees. DeMarco Morgan has already been filling in these past several months as a GMA3 host, so his sticking around should come as no surprise.
Meanwhile, Pilgrim has served as a GMA weekend co-anchor since 2018.
These aren’t the only anchor changes happening at ABC News, as the network noted in a press release. Gio Benitez is taking over Pilgrim’s weekend GMA role, having previously serves as the network’s transportation correspondent since 2020.
“I know these programs — and our viewers at home — will be well-served by all of their collective talents,” ABC News president Kim Godwin said in a press release.
As for Robach and Holmes, the duo has largely remained out of the public eye in light of the alleged affair.
