Diane Sawyer and Chris Cuomo both said ‘farewell’ to GMA on Friday morning.
The pair passed the baton to their replacements, Juju Chang and George Stephanopoulos, in an emotionally charged edition of the ABC program.
“We’re all friends here,” Sawyer stated. “And its a wonderful thing to be with people we know and love,” Sawyer said, before showing Stephanopoulos his new desk.
Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts said on Thursday that she was “so excited to welcome George and Juju to our family. The energy and talent of those on camera and behind the scenes at this program are second to none. I have no doubt that George and Juju will immediately feel right at home. Saying goodbye to Diane has not been easy, but I’m glad she will finally be getting more sleep.”
Cuomo is leaving to join 20/20, while Sawyer will take over the World News desk.
