Demarco Morgan Slated As Fill-In For T.J. Holmes On GMA3
Demarco Morgan will be replacing T.J. Holmes on ABC’s Good Morning America.
According to U.S. Weekly, the switch comes after the alleged romance between Holmes and co-host Amy Robach surfaced in the workplace. Viewers of the GMA3 special: What You Need To Know, are seeing a lot of new faces in front of the camera and Morgan, 44, is the latest.
Originally, Stephanie Ramos and Gio Benitez were replacing Holmes and Robach, but on Friday (Dec. 9), it was Ramos and now the former CBS News personality Morgan behind the desk, along with Dr. Jennifer Ashton.
“We’re filling in for Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes,” Ramos said.
Morgan, 44, has been a journalist for over two decades and was hired by ABC News last month. Prior to his new role with ABC, he served as an anchor for CBS’ Santa Monica, California station.
Morgan has a new admirer, too, as he steps into his new role. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais is eyeing the new ABC anchor.
“Well hello,” she quote tweeted on Friday (Dec. 9), with photos of Marco on the set of GMA3.
Holmes and Robach were removed from their roles at GMA3 on December 5. On Friday (Dec. 9), Columbia University graduate, Morgan, stepped in for Holmes as a co-anchor.
News of the romance between Robach and Holmes made headlines on November 30. President of ABC News Kimberly Godwin marked the affair as an “internal and external distraction.”
"I want to say that while the relationship is not a violation of company policy, I have really taken the last few days to think about and work through what is the best for ABC News,” Godwin said during an editorial meeting.
