ABC NEWS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES: Rebecca Jarvis WILL REPLACE Michael Strahan ON GMA. Viewers Are BUZZING.
Michael Strahan may not be around on the latest installment of Good Morning America, but he was replaced by a familiar face to many ABC News viewers.
Rebecca Jarvis, 41, a correspondent with the network since 2013, returned to the hosting panel alongside Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday’s morning news show.
While she may be a constant presence on ABC, specifically as Chief Business, Technology and Economics Correspondent, her career leading up to her position with the network itself is quite astounding.
She got an early start in the entrepreneurial and business field, being named one of Teen People’s “20 Teens Who Will Change the World” at the age of 18.
In fact, at 15, she set up a non-profit children’s charity which also involved former Vice President Al Gore and Secretary of State Colin Powell, which raised over $750,000.
