GMA Without Gibson: With Kermit On His Shoulder & His Family All Around

“Keeping with [Charles] Gibson‘s button-down style, Wednesday’s goodbye was considerably more low-key” than Katie Couric‘s, the AP’s David Bauder notes. “Gibson doted on his family, including his 3 1/2 -month-old grandson. Kelly Ripa, Cal Ripken Jr. and Kermit were it for celebrity guests.” And here’s the best line of the story: “There were no film clips of embarrassing hairstyles for Gibson, 63, just gray strands invading his black hair.”

And if you’re wondering why Kermit the frog was there: “Kermit was a repeat guest from Gibson’s first farewell show from GMA eight years ago. Gibson said he used to watch Sesame Street with his daughters every morning when they were growing up.”
