VIDEO: Is All My Children Getting Canceled?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Daytime, Drama, ABC, Cancellations, Gossip, Ratings, Rumors, Video,
Susan Lucci, soap opera Queen, recently appeared on Good Morning America to talk about the possibility that All My Children’s epic run may be coming to an end. You can hear her comments in the video above. News first broke on TV Squad that ABC was considering calling it quits on the long-running soap.
But, Lucci didn’t have a whole lot to offer on the rumors. “We’ll see,” she said of possible cancellation. Lucci also said the show has many “passionate” fans in its corner. But ratings for the show are dramatically down (34% from last year), and it’s in last place.
And that does not bode well for the soap, which has been on the air since 1970. Lucci has been with the show for its entire run.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Talk Shows, ABC, Gossip, Video,
Survivor: The Australian Outback contestant and View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is signing on to Good Morning America as a contributor. Hasselbeck is famous for her rigid right-wing approach to issues on The View, though she does not label herself as conservative.
Hasselbeck will cover “hot-button family, lifestyle and child-rearing issues.” Her first report, which looks like a real barn-burner, will cover the hot-button trend of parent-child tattoos. It airs on Monday.
In addition to her reality TV experience, Hasselbeck has a Fine Arts degree from Boston College and notorious GOP leanings … which definitely makes her qualified to cover news-related issues important to American families.

VIDEO: Elmo Requests New Play Date with Katy Perry
On today’s Good Morning America broadcast, Sesame Street‘s executive producer explained why Katy Perry’s segment with Elmo was pulled from the kid-friendly program.

“Sesame Street has a long history. We have a great interactive relationship with our viewers, especially parents,” Parente insisted. “So we viewed a lot of feedback and made what we thought was an appropriate decision.”

VIDEO: Diane Sawyer Says Goodbye to GMA
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: ABC, News, Video,
After nearly 11 years of waking up at ungodly hours, Diane Sawyer said goodbye to the viewers of Good Morning America this morning.
Sawyer’s final day on the job came with a number of tributes - some funny, some more emotional - and a recap of her memorable stories. Meanwhile, Chris Cuomo, who is leaving the program to cohost 20/20, handed over his newsreader reins to Juju Chang and watched George Stephanopoulos introduce himself as the new coanchor.
“I’m going to take the advice of that immortal philosopher Dr. Seuss, who said, ‘Don’t cry because it happened, smile because it happened,’” Diane said. “And this morning I am beaming at all of you. My heart is smiling and the privilege of sharing my mornings with all of you has been more than I can say.”
You can watch the late night comedians say goodbye to the “queen of morning television” after the jump.

Lambert Admits He Got Carried Away, Still Not Sorry
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Award Shows, Daytime, Music, ABC, CBS, Gossip, News, Video,
If the folks at ABC were counting on Adam Lambert to apologize for his AMA performance, it’s probably a good thing they canceled his Good Morning America appearance.
The American Idol alum showed up to The Early Show instead and did admit that catching glimpses of his favorite pop stars sparked more of his energy.
“I admit I did get carried away, but I don’t see anything wrong with it. I do see how people got offended and that was not my intention. My intention was to interpret the lyrics of my song and have a good time with it.”
He also made no apologies when asked about how he felt with children watching his performance: “It didn’t cross my mind - children. It was almost 11 o’clock at night. I was in the audience and it was mostly adults… I’m not a babysitter. I’m a performer.”
Check out his Early Show performances after the break!
