GMA3’s Shocking Overhaul Unveiled—Are DeMarco Morgan and Eva Pilgrim Out as ABC News Scrambles to Save Sinking Ratings? Insiders Spill on the Chaos Threatening to Axe Your Favorite Afternoon Hosts!
On April 10, 2025, at 8:12 p.m. PDT, whispers turned into roars as sources revealed ABC News is poised to gut GMA3: What You Need to Know, with anchors DeMarco Morgan, 45, and Eva Pilgrim, 42, teetering on the edge. The third hour of Good Morning America, once a pandemic lifeline, is bleeding viewers—down to 1.1 million from 1.5 million in 2023, per Nielsen—prompting execs to plot a drastic revamp. X is ablaze: “GMA3’s toast by summer?!” What’s driving this upheaval, and who’s next in line?
The trouble traces back to March, when ABC News president Almin Karamehmedovic’s memo promised GMA3’s survival amid layoffs that slashed its staff, merging production with GMA under Simone Swink. Yet, insiders told The Post April 1, “It won’t be there by summer’s end”—meaning Morgan and Pilgrim’s run, not the show itself, insiders now clarify. Ratings tanked post-T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach’s 2023 affair-fueled exit; their 1.8 million viewer peak feels like a distant dream. “DeMarco and Eva can’t replicate that chemistry,” a source griped. NBC News Daily’s 1.3 million looms large.
Morgan, a 2022 ABC recruit from CBS, and Pilgrim, a GMA weekend vet since 2018, took over May 11, 2023, with Dr. Jennifer Ashton (who left June 2024 for Ajenda). They’ve leaned into health, lifestyle, and news—Morgan’s Hurricane Helene coverage earned praise—but critics say it’s “too safe.” The U.S. Sun reports Karamehmedovic wants “fresh blood” to rival TODAY’s 2.7 million. Staff cuts—200 across ABC News and Disney—left GMA3 “gutted,” per The Independent, with laid-off crew blaming Holmes and Robach’s “nightmare” legacy. “We’re doing more with less,” one sighed.
Who’s waiting in the wings? Gio Benitez, 39, now GMA weekend co-anchor, is a fan favorite after subbing in 2023—his Mardi Gras bit spiked views. “Gio’s comfort sells,” an insider hinted to Variety. Rhiannon Ally, 42, another Holmes-Robach fill-in, also shines on World News Now. X buzzes: “Gio for GMA3—make it happen!” ABC’s mum, but a summer shakeup looms—possibly folding GMA3 into a tighter GMA orbit, per AOL. Morgan and Pilgrim’s fate hangs as of 8:15 p.m. PDT today; Pilgrim’s March 30 Instagram—“Grateful for this team”—now reads like a plea.
This isn’t just a host swap—it’s ABC fighting to reclaim morning TV’s throne. Will Benitez or Ally spark a revival, or is GMA3 doomed to fade? Tune in—this drama’s just heating up.
