‘GMA’ Hosts Clash Ahead of Major Relocation

The beloved hosts of one of America’s favorite morning shows are reportedly experiencing some behind-the-scenes tension as they prepare for a major transition. Good Morning America (GMA) anchors Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, and George Stephanopoulos are allegedly at odds as they gear up for a significant move. Here’s the scoop on what might be causing friction among the popular trio.

Michael Strahan joined GMA in 2014, and since then, the hosting team featuring Robin, Michael, and George has become immensely popular with viewers. Their on-screen interactions are often marked by humor and camaraderie. George and Michael have even been known to coordinate their outfits and joke about potential movie ventures.

However, not everything seems to be as harmonious behind the scenes. An inside source has disclosed that there is substantial friction among the hosts as they navigate the upcoming changes.

The morning show is in the middle of a significant transformation, with the set moving to a new location. This change is part of a broader relocation effort by several ABC shows for their upcoming seasons. According to the insider, this move has sparked rivalry among the co-hosts.

“The move was supposed to be a fresh start for the show, but instead, it’s ignited a fierce competition among the hosts,” the source told Closer Weekly.

The insider added that much of the tension stems from the competition over who will secure the best dressing room, leading to heightened anxiety and friction among the team.

Good Morning America has been based at the Times Square Studios in New York City since 1999. The announcement last year that the show would be relocating to a new state-of-the-art studio in Hudson Square, set to open in 2025, marked a significant shift. This move is part of a strategic decision by ABC News to foster more collaboration and innovation by consolidating all teams under one roof.

The new studio will facilitate a unified workspace for all GMA personnel, who currently split their time between the studio in Times Square and offices on the Upper West Side.

Adding more complexity to the situation, Michael Strahan will be juggling additional responsibilities soon. He will be traveling more frequently to cover NFL Sundays on FOX, leaving him potentially disadvantaged in the dressing room scramble.

Lara Spencer highlighted Michael’s upcoming bi-coastal working routine on Good Morning America recently, which Michael humorously acknowledged, marking a return to his previous schedule of balancing both roles.

Michael works alongside Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Jimmy Johnson, Rob Gronkowski, and Howie Long. Following his retirement from football in 2008, Michael has been a part of the FOX network, contributing to NFL coverage.

With the NFL season set to begin on September 5, Michael’s commitments will likely add to the juggling act, potentially impacting the internal dynamics at GMA.

As GMA prepares for its big move in 2025, only time will tell how the team will navigate these challenges and whether the reported tensions will resolve to restore harmony on one of America’s favorite morning shows.
