The third season of The Morning Show has been captivating audiences with its unexpected twists and turns, leaving viewers wondering if any of the scandals depicted in the show are based on real-life events. History shows that morning shows are indeed scandalous, with Good Morning America, the most-watched morning show in the country, facing its fair share of controversies over the years.
From Rob Marciano’s alleged anger issues leading to his reported ban from the network’s studio, to Amy Robach and TJ Holmes’ relationship scandal that ultimately led to their departure from ABC News, the world of morning television has not been immune to drama. Lara Spencer’s ill-advised comments about Prince George taking ballet classes and Michael Strahan’s decision not to return from vacation during Hurricane Harvey also caused uproar among viewers and network executives.
In addition, Amy Robach’s use of a racial slur on air, Robin Roberts’ affiliation with Mississippi at a time when the state passed anti-LGBTQ+ laws, and Michael Corn’s alleged misconduct towards a former staffer and producer, have further added to the list of scandals that have plagued morning television.
These scandals, both real and fictional, highlight the high-stakes nature of morning show television, where egos clash and reputations are on the line. As viewers continue to be captivated by the drama on screen, it’s clear that the behind-the-scenes antics of morning television personalities can be just as, if not more, intriguing than the stories they report on air.
