Laid-off staff at the afternoon spinoff largely in part blamed their once well-loved former canoodling cohosts , whose off-the-charts on-air chemistry simply could not be, and was not, replaced by ABC execs.

“Staff blamed Amy and TJ for being selfish and ruining the show, essentially, when they were let go.

“They’ve never hired anyone with quite the same level of charisma that TJ and Amy had that had people tuning in to watch them together.”

According to the insider, “Amy and TJ got let go for being selfish two years ago, and now the rest of us are being fired in the fallout.

“They’ve ruined it for everyone else and now the whole staff is gone.”

GMA3 is currently hosted by Eva Pilgrim and DeMarco Morgan .

Additionally, Simone Swing, who is currently the senior executive producer at GMA, is now overseeing all GMA branded shows, including GMA3.

Despite the layoffs and the gripes about the show’s former co-hosts, an ABC press release from Tuesday touted GMA3’s ratings beating NBC News Daily.

Meanwhile, it seems all areas of ABC have been impacted from programs in all time slots.

Perhaps the writing has been on the wall, as one insider explained the configuration of the offices has changed dramatically since the network moved into its new downtown digs, and not for the better .

“There are no longer assigned desks with personal photos of people’s families and other personal effects.

“Staff are now sharing desks and there are lockers where you can put your things and pick them up at the end of your shift.

“It’s a very different work landscape than they had in the old uptown ABC offices.”

As The U.S. Sun previously and extensively reported, Amy and TJ were ultimately fired from their cushy hosting jobs at ABC after news of their alleged extramarital affair made headlines in late 2022.

AMY AND TJ’S ABC EXIT

The coupled-up cohosts were both legally married when their relationship came to light.

Since then, the couple launched their podcast, the Amy & TJ podcast , and subsequently another podcast called The Morning Run.

The pair have been vocal about their unceremonious exit at ABC , and have spoken out about how they viewed other fellow staffers’ less-than-pleasant exits.

EXITS AT ABC ARE ‘NOT PRETTY’

In a podcast epiode last year, the couple opened up about weatherman Rob Marciano’s exit from the network after a decade with ABC.

TJ said “We were with somebody just at a breakfast the other morning where somebody reminded us, ‘Hey, nobody leaves ABC News in a pretty fashion.’ That’s what they said.”

Amy then added: “Word for word. It’s a tough situation. Yes, we have walked down that road. It’s not an easy one.

Good Morning America hosts

These are the hosts of the ABC morning program, Good Morning America:

• Robin Roberts
• George Stephanopoulos
• Michael Strahan
• Ginger Zee
• Lara Spencer
• Rebecca Jarvis

“I think he might still be going through a divorce, so we know what it’s like to have your entire life upended, career and personal life.”

The pair expressed their sympathy to Rob , who they said they had known for a long time, with TJ calling him “one of the best” in his field.

“We hate to see somebody who’s been a friend and a colleague for a long time end up in this place, in this position, to be talked about the way he’s being talked about to some degree,” he added.

Meanwhile, Michael Strahan is facing rumors that he is leaving GMA after seven years.

NewsNation’s insider said: “He will be out by this summer — he’s had enough.”

But a source told The U.S. Sun “this isn’t true.”
