Coming up this evening at 9 p.m., "Piers Morgan Tonight," welcomes the five co-anchors of "Good Morning America" for an entertaining and endearing exclusive interview, during which the cast touches upon everything from the economy to health, and politics to weather – much like their own show.
Having first supplanted "The Today Show" in April and again regained their position following the recent conclusion of NBC's Olympics coverage, the five television personalities – Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, Sam Champion, Lara Spencer, and Josh Elliott – are presently basking in the glow of being the number one morning show in the country.
Champion, however, feels the product has been there all along:
"I've thought we were doing the number one morning show, I just think it took a little while for the audience to start sampling it, and notice that what we were doing, was like an amazing show," says the meteorologist. "That was fun to watch, and had news, and information, and is just jam-packed. And it never stops, for two hours. So once you got a chance to sample it, how could you not choose that show."
"GMA's" success however, has coincided with struggles at "Today," as the long-time morning leader has stumbled upon trying times, including the much-publicized departure of anchor Ann Curry.
Roberts though, says her team takes no joy in the pain of others:
"The morning that Ann said goodbye, her goodbyes, we were watching," says the longest tenured member of the ABC team. "And we, on our program, which you don't see very often, we spent the last couple of minutes talking about Ann Curry, on 'Good Morning America,' and appreciating her."
Watch the clip, listen to the interview, then tune in to "Piers Morgan Tonight" at 9 p.m. as the cast of "GMA" open up about everything from Stephanopoulus' sex life with comedienne and actress wife Ali Wentworth and Champion's analysis of the hurricane currently headed straight for Tampa, Fla. and the RNC.

Piers, try not to be so obvious with your personal political views. Did you really think a former Press Secretary to President Clinton would say anything positive about Mitt Romney... Would you not think, for obvious reasons, that Robin would have nothing positive to say about Romney. It's nice they were on your show but stay away from politics. They are just ordinary voting citizens; their opinions are worth no more than mine or yours.
I have every sympathy for Robin Roberts and her medical fight. Also I am glad she has raised awareness for bone marrow transplants. However I find it a little annoying that this ABC show is behaving like they are the first show to ever do something like this. All My Children and One Life To Live both covered many socially and medically relevant storylines like bone marrow transplants ( this one in the 1980's btw) and displayed phone numbers, addresses and then websites to contact for more information. THIS also bumped up donors or helped charities since soap viewers are loyal and full of heart unlike ABC who only cares about money since their new show has the same or fewer viewers then the soaps ( one was cancelled!), but hey! It's cheaper to produce- and it shows!- so they throw another lame talk show at us. But entertaining shows that gave a lot of people jobs and others great enjoyment and still others important information were cancelled. So thanks GMA, hope you're not cancelled if your ratings dip.Watch out!
I loved the interview. Piers is excellent!
I quit watching the Today show after watching a few of the GMA shows. That said, I read in a number of posts that Josh Elliot (UCSB grad like my daughter) treats staff poorly. I read and understand that he has tantrums like a 5 year old. Josh, these days, you cannot afford to treat your "subordinates" like crap. Grow up or you will be gone. Do not let the door or your ego hit you on the way out. Lara Spencer is the catalyst for the change in ratings. You are coat tailing. Yep. Get over yourself before you become has been.
I haven't seen either Today or GMA for 3 years, and I don't miss either. I do miss Charlie. And Charles Kuralt was the greatest of all.
Just as Obama concealed the true plans for his initial term behind rhetoric of ending partisan differences and cutting the federal deficit, Obama's re-election theme of creating jobs conceals more than it reveals about his real agenda for a second term: the "progressive" program to complete the fundamental transformation of America during the next four years.
Obama's second-term plans call for a "New Deal"-style overhaul of the economy replete with the creation of a National Infrastructure Development Bank to oversee government control of the financial system; a massive, government-run jobs program to coincide with "paycheck fairness"; full amnesty for illegal aliens; defunding of the U.S. military while channeling Pentagon money to "clean" energy initiatives; a new, multibillion dollar "green" stimulus; and implementing Obamacare in measures nearly impossible to reverse. And that is just the start.
Here is an important finding of the House Judiciary Committee...
Beginning in 2011, the Committee has learned that Obama administration officials at the Department of Homeland Security started to include numbers from the Alien Transfer Exit Program (ATEP) in its year-end removal numbers.
The ATEP is a joint effort between ICE and Customs and Border Protection that transfers illegal immigrants apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border to another point along the Southwest border for removal. But it is illegitimate to count illegal immigrants apprehended by the Border Patrol along the Southwest border as ICE removals. There are no penalties or bars attached when illegal immigrants are sent back via ATEP and they can simply attempt re-entry.
When ATEP removals are subtracted from ICE’s deportation numbers, the 2011 removal total would drop from approximately 397,000 to roughly 360,000 and the 2012 removal total would drop from about 334,000 to around 263,000 (annualized this is estimated to be a drop from about 400,000 to 315,000).
This means that ICE removals for this year will be about 14% below 2008 (369,000) and 19% below 2009 (389,000). So it is officially proven that while the Obama regime touts themselves as historic immigration enforcement achievers, the truth is they have cooked the books and broadcast this lie to the American public. They have done this with the full assistance of liberal media like CNN, ABC, and the Huffington Post which you can count on not to report the revelations contained within these reports!
If anyone tells you that Obama has deported more illegal immigrants than any prior president you tell them that is a lie and that removals for 2012 are down 14% below 2008 levels before Obama took office!
It is terribly unfortunate that American citizens have to form a political revolt against the powers that be to try to stop the invasion of our homeland. We must face powers that have used their influence to corrupt our own government and mass media against the best interest of the American public and against the truth.
Very few things in America can improve for us while such lies as these stand as truth.
Barack Obama:
Alias Barry Soetoro pawns himself as Barack Obama, the humanitarian, the POTUS, the campaign for hope and change. But we know better. Barry is a radical Marxist who was raised by Communist parents and Communist grandparents. His mentors were known Communists, his contacts in college were strictly Marxists supporters, Marxist professors and a group of Pakistani activists as stated in his book, “Dreams from My Father”.
Barack Obama, tell us about Frank Marshall Davis or Bill Ayers. Surely you remember Mr. Davis. After all, your mother knew him all too well. Mr. Ayers, a known terrorist, responsible for at least a dozen bombings, helped your early Illinois campaign by raising money, thru his organization Underground Weather. Tell us about your trip to Pakistan (’81) with Pakistani Wahid Hamid.
Share with us your ideals of socialism; after all you’re a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), referred as the “New Party”. Please tell us why you have been influenced by the writings of Karl Marx, the prelude to Communism. Share with us your association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Do you justify this man’s message by condemning our country by saying, “God bless America? No, God Damn America?” Was this a forethought supporting your belief in Marxism?
Are these the individuals who have inspired you to public office? Are these the individuals who have inspired you to plot against the United States? Are they the people for whom you’ve entrusted your Muslim faith?
Please tell us why you mocked the Holy Bible and Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mount”, calling the sermon a radical message. You have mocked Christianity and this country. Barack Obama, you have betrayed this nation and all its’ people. Your skin is dark because of your race, but your soul is darker because of your deception.
United States of America………………you didn’t build it Barack Obama.
I Love it Don, when people quote Leviticus ..this time it prvoes you are a hypocrite and bigot. For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon him. (Leviticus 20:9) If a man lies with a woman during her sickness and uncovers her nakedness, he has discovered her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from her people. (Leviticus 20:18) Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. (Leviticus 25:44-45)you want more? Or are you ready to become a productive critical thinker in this world?
