Charles Gibson said goodbye to “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, surrounded by his family and Kermit the Frog.
Gibson has been doing double duty for weeks, working the morning shift at “GMA” that he has had on and off since 1987 and recently taking over full-time anchoring duties on “World News Tonight.”
After seeing “GMA” through month’s end, Gibson is going full-time to “WNT.”
“GMA” and ABC News threw him a big on-air party Wednesday, celebrating Gibson’s nearly two decades of mornings. Attending were Gibson’s family, including his wife, children and 3-month-old grandson plus Kermit the Frog, baseball legend Cal Ripken Jr., former ABC Newser Steve Bell and, of course, co-hosts Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts.
“For 19 years, my mornings have been not just good, they’ve been great,” Gibson told viewers at the end of the two-hour “GMA.”
