Michelle Obama May Fill In For Robin Roberts At 'Good Morning America'

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Michelle Obama may sub for Robin Roberts at ABC’s Good Morning America.

Recently, an ABC executive confirmed that the network reached out to The First Lady to ask if she would guest-host Good Morning America for one day, sometime later this month.

If Mrs. Obama is willing to take the one day gig, she will fill in for co-host Roberts, who is still recuperating from a recent bone narrow transplant.

The network already confirmed that Ann Romney, the wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, will be filling in as a guest host for Roberts on October 10.

Ann Romney will join the small list of other co-hosts, including the cast of Modern Family, Steven Colbert, and Jessica Simpson, who have filled in for Roberts since she went on medical leave for surgery at the end of August.

The exact co-host date for Mrs. Obama’s has yet to be announced, more details coming soon…

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
