GMA star vanishes from screens sparking rumors he's gotten boot from ABC
GMA3 host DeMarco Morgan's recent absence from daytime news show the has raised serious 'questions' about his future with the scandal-scarred ABC program. Morgan, 41, who co-anchors the afternoon show with Eva Pilgrim, was last seen by viewers on June 13. Speculation is rife over Morgan's future with the show, Status reported on Sunday, noting a 'shakeup at GMA3 is on the horizon.' Pilgrim, 42, is leaving the show to take over hosting duties at Inside Edition. Morgan, meanwhile, has yet to host an episode from the show's new digs in Downtown Manhattan. He and Pilgrim were officially tapped as replacements for disgraced co-hosts TJ Holmes and Amy Robach in May 2023, after the Daily Mail revealed their scandalous affair that ultimately got them fired. A wave of layoffs in March saw the GMA3 crew get 'entirely gutted' in what was billed as a 'consolidation' of the broader Good Morning America teams. Among those let go at the time was GMA3 Executive Producer Catherine McKenzie, fueling rumors that the program's showrunners had lost faith in the spin-off show launched in 2018. GMA Executive Producer Simone Swink was left to run both programs. At a town hall in mid-March, ABC News Chief Almin Karamehmedovic announced more changes to the network's news operations while dodging queries about cuts. Worried staffers were 'left with more questions than answers,' Status reported at the time. With a month, an insider close to the network told the Daily Mail that hosts like Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos and Michael Strahan had all turned down offers to host GMA3. The popular trio were said to have been holding out for more money and feared the program had become 'toxic.' 'After TJ and Amy, it's a toxic hour they want no part of,' the source said. Citing layoffs and staffers being told to do more work, the source said: 'They are going to want a lot more money to do any extra work. In a statement at the time, a rep shot down the claims, calling GMA3 'a valued part of the GMA franchise. 'Robin, George and Michael have been on before and they will continue to be featured,' the rep said. 'They were never asked to take over the third hour.' The spokesperson said that the network was in the process of 'unifying all day parts under the GMA umbrella and team. '[T]hat includes seeing all members of the extended GMA family in the third hour.' The show has since seen a revolving door of co-hosts, including Will Reever, Ginger Zee, Rhiannon Ally, and Gio Benitez - has persisted since. Back in April, and insider told the New York Post that 'GMA3 won't be there at the end of the summer.' The Daily Mail has reached out to ABC for comment.
