Former Clinton White House aide and current host of Washington-based This Week, George Stephanopoulos, has been offered the co-host position on Good Morning America to replace Diane Sawyer!
His duties are still being discussed as Stephanopoulos will likely show more interest if he can focus more on politics and world news as opposed to feature segments.
ABC News President David Westin is quite interested in George as he hopes to make the first hour of GMA revolve more around hard news and add consumer information to the later hours.
While George is expected to accept the position, if talks break down, Chris Cuomo is the network’s alternative choice, even though he essentially already co-hosts the show. Whoever is the final choice will host alongside Robin Roberts.
Either way both of them are good choices.
