With Diane Sawyer making her decade-long exit from Good Morning America, all of New York media wants to know: Who will take her place? Depending on who ABC picks, the network’s morning show could become the gayest place on television.
By comparison, NBC’s Today and CBS’s The Early Show are pretty straight chat fests. (Okay, we’ve heard the gay rumors about Early‘s weatherman Dave Price, too. He’s single and lives in NYC with his dog. Uh huh.) But on GMA, you’ve already got Robin Roberts and Sam Champion, both of whom are out among colleagues, but not viewing audiences (at least, they don’t make it anyone’s business).
That leaves Diane Sawyer and Chris Cuomo as the resident heteros, making GMA a refreshing half-gay. But what if ABC filled Diane’s spot with another family member?
Already, financial lez Suze Orman has raised her hand to ABC brass letting them know she wants the job. But “insiders” says ABC wants a dude to replace Diane (who’s leaving to take Charlie Gibson’s evening anchor chair) and sit next to Robin, “restoring” the male-female duo main hosting construct. “A short list of candidates,” says the Los Angeles Times‘ Matea Gold, “is widely believed to include This Week anchor George Stephanopoulos, World News Saturday anchor David Muir, GMA Weekend co-host Bill Weir and GMA news anchor Chris Cuomo.” (NB: Moving Cuomo to a main slot would still leave open the junior “news anchor” slot.)
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Funny, then, that Weir already has the gays speculating And so does Muir.
Not that adding another ‘mo would really change GMA‘s formula of news, entertainment, and crossing and uncrossing legs. But it’d be nice to wake up every morning and see Chris Cuomo quivering among the Gs.

they need to bring back david hartman and nancy dussault. they were the original hosts. nancy quit and went back to doing night time television.
Marcus
Muir and Weir are way past, “speculating.”
mikeandrewsdantescove
I just have to say Charles Gibson’s personality sucked. How his career lasted as long as it did is still a shock to me.
Suze would be a great addition.

i vote david muir. i’ve thought he was yummy since he was going occasional segments on abc’s random 3 or 4am news show.
Suburban
Several of those guys are hot, including Muir. I had no idea (if it’s true)that Robin is a lesbian or Sam was gay (again, if true). Chris Cuomo so hot WHY ISN’T HE GAY!!! Sorry but Sam does nothing for me.
hephaestion
They should recruit Bill Hemmer and have him wear a wet t-shirt every day.
Colin
David Muir is gay. He is from Boston and has a partner of several years. I never heard any runmors about Bill Weir.
Jack
I might have to start watching this show.
Alex
A.B.S. – Anybody But Stephanopoulos!
Kevin B
I love Suze but she’s orange.
jimmy
Forget all of these clowns in the morning and listen to Morning Edition and Diane Rehm on NPR.
But, David Muir is really hot.
merkin
Am I the only one who remembers the gossip about Snuffleupagus–I mean Stephanopoulos?
Robert, NYC
Suburban, I can confirm that Sam Champion is gay. I’ve seen him several times on Fire Island and on occasion while there, holding hands with another male. I don’t think you’d find any straight men doing that.
Marcus
True and true, Robert.
From what I heard out of NYC, is that he really isn’t all into the Fire Island scene anymore.
He and his boyfriend Sean run in the Hampton scene more frequently now.
Here’s a picture of Sean: http://www.nypost.com/pagesixmag/issues/20080914/images/Buzz/sixcity/7.jpg
Robert, NYC
Marcus, yes….a couple of friends who have a house in E. Hampton have seen him there too as well as Anderson Cooper.
M
Yeah, Robert, I heard Anderson was seen in the Hamptons a lot.
But doesn’t Cooper have a home there anyway?
Robert, NYC
M, I think you may be right about that.
rhydderch
@Surburan: You really need to have you gaydar sent into the shop because Sam Champion is a big ol’ gurl, how could you miss that? Oh an Robin Roberts just oozes lesbian. Straight women usually have this twinkle in their eyes that says “damn I sure use a big cock right now”. Diane has it, hell even Sam has it (see the way he looks at Chris) but Robin Roberts? Nothing. She’s strictly pescatarian
rhydderch
Bill Weir…yum. I’m fuck him, hairlip and all
Suburban
@RHYDDERCH, I don’t have gaydar. Sam does nothing for me but neither does Clay Aiken! I would never think Robin is lesbian or Sam gay, I’ve heard no rumors or nothing on the internet until now. I didn’t believe Rosie or Richard Camberlain were either. Plus I’ve never been to the Hamptons. btw, I’d do more than look at Chris, Jesus is he hot, and married.
Marcus
Wow, Suburban–you didn’t ‘believe’ Rosie was GAY? Whoa.
What happened to finally convince you she was, did she dive into a muff right in front of you?
Suburban
@Marcus, I never thought about it either way back then. Some celebs openly discuss spouses and some don’t. Back then she probably worried about ratings or the network told her to keep it hush hush. Everything is so out there nowadays.
rhydderch
@suburban: Sam doesn’t do it for me either but he does give me a headache looking at those blinding ‘so white they’re blue’ choppers
West126
Sorry fellas, Dave Price is STRAIGHT and dating the hottest and sauciest piece of (girl)tail in NYC.
pa..pa..pa..pa..paul
@West126: Just googled Dave Price. he’s ugly so why would anyone speculate that he’s gay. Please the straights can have him
Marcus
Paul, just because he’s not attractive doesn’t mean people won’t wonder or at least inquire that he’s (in low voice) gay.
And Suburban, yes, everything is so out there today. And it’s only going to get better. I love it. 😉
jae
Gay or not, David Muir is HOTTT
Sarah
David Muir is HOT!!! I dont think he is gay, I can usually tell who is gay….
pierre
Just watched Muir on the news tonite, reporting from the Gulf. He had the open front on his shirt, which he typically does when not reporting behind the desk. But you had to be absolutely blind not to see those biceps bulging!!!! …which would fit the pecs that showed under the shirt when he faced the cam. Now really…. do any of the reputedly straight newscasters have such ‘credentials’? Muir’s arms, and what can be seen of his chest, suggests that he is a smoothie. But LORD — what an eyefull !!! and he has always struck me as being gay. Nice to read the above comments….
Joanne Baxter
@West126: How do you know who Dave Price is dating and what she looks like? Just curious if you had seen him or something.
Gracie
Bill Weir is married and has a daughter. David Muir has dated this pretty PR girl for Armani in the past and Ive seen them together in some events so Im pretty sure he is straight. Sam Champion is gay and I think he is pretty open about it.
Gay Guy
I agree, both David Muir and Chris Cuomo are HOT HOT HOT!!! And yeah, Sam Champion really does nothing for me. But I’d jump in with David or Chris ANYtime!!!
Jerry
I agree – David Muir is HOT – sizzling hot!! Chris Cuomo is as well – both gorgeous men. If I had my choice Im not sure who I’d pick
THE AVENGER
It would be great it they could get all the gays off tv, enough of their filth already
THE REVENGER
AVENGER: There’s always one poor ignorant person in the dicussions. Grow-up and start making some sense….
JC
David Muir is gay. When he worked @ WTVH 5 Syracuse he had least one affair with a gay man in the television field. His favorite thing to do is to cuddle in bed and watch ‘I Love Lucy'(an encounter explained to me by a close friend).
MS
I used to work at ABC, but they let go of nearly 60 percent of the company. I was one of many let go during the news slaughter, so I could care less about protecting their anonymity. Here are the insider facts : Bill Weir is straight married with kids and nice guy. Diane Sawyer is married (beard) but in a secret lesbian relationship but a great person to work with. Elizabeth Vargas married and a nightmare to work with. Jake Tapper straight and a sweet man. Chris Cuomo straight married and also a sweet guy. George Stephanopolus is closeted gay but got married for his family and to keep gay rumors at bay. Nice guy though. David Muir is 100 percent gay obsessed with his namebrand clothes and worked his way up from desk assistant. He also is too concerned about his crooked face on camera and wears a ton of makeup. Not a fan. Sam Champion. Hello. Gay. Robin Roberts gay and a total sweetheart. Miguel Marquez is out and gay and a sweet guy. Dan Harris is questionable although he says everyone thInks he is gay. Don’t know about this one. I prefer to read my news now that they have let so many good people go. And almost all studios and networks are using robotic cameras now so fewer and fewer people in the studio. Let’s talk about creating jobs National media!! Shame on you !!!
helen glover
are you sure robin is gay
Chris
@ MS I believe you. Along with the degradation of society and the American culture, I see more and more of the homosexual agenda prevailing. I don’t know why these homos remain “in the closet” if they are so adamant about their sexuality. You won’t lose your job since that is the trend nowadays.
God’s judgment is gonna rain down! and I ain’t gonna be a part of it!
“and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb;” -Revelation 6:16
LordofallFAGs
I don’t understand- is this a site to speak negatively and call people homosexual who may or may not be- I just dont get it. If you people are gay – one would think you people would be more inclined to respect the privacy of others – not speculate and try to OUT THEM; just absurd- the way you people do each other. I think outing someone should be a criminal offense- even the suggestion….
