GMA Studio Erupts as a “New Member” is Officially Welcomed – Co-hosts Celebrate the Special News!
Robin Roberts shone a light on a special colleague at GMA on Tuesday, who is moving up the rankings of the show.
The long-running co-anchor took to Instagram on Tuesday to pay tribute to her work friend Tommy, who she referred to as part of the GMA family.
She posted a selfie of them backstage in the ABC studios, and wrote: “A very special play of the day this morn… celebrating one of our own GMA family members, Tommy! He’s moving on up… plus we finally got our selfie!”
Tommy was given a special shout-out on the show too, with Michael Strahan’s sub Whit Johnson telling viewers that Tommy had been working on the show as an intern and later a booker working the overnight shift, before moving up the ranks to work more sociable hours, all within the same role.
What’s more, Tommy has been a fan of the show since he was a teenager, and has been collecting selfies with the GMA anchors for many years.

Michael, meanwhile, joined the show in 2016. Praising working with her co-stars during an interview with AP, Robin said: “We would never, ever do anything to make each other look good at the expense of the other. That’s such a comfort. To have that, it makes you take chances, and I think the audience picks up on that — the way that we are so different in many ways but so common in others.”
Robin will be celebrating her wedding anniversary in September
The star has been incredibly open about her personal life on the show too, marking both the good and the bad times. She tied the knot on September 12 2023 and will be celebrating her first wedding anniversary next month. Many of her co-stars attended her special day, and the wedding also featured on GMA.
