Who Said It?: “Knowledgeable Morning Show Observer”

Here’s a lovely Monday morning item for Ben Sherwood to wake up to:
“Looks like the knives are out for Good Morning America executive producer Ben Sherwood, with television insiders predicting that he’ll be kicked out – or upstairs – in the near future,” Lloyd Grove gossips.

(But David Westin says “Ben Sherwood is not being kicked anywhere…I have complete confidence in Ben Sherwood.”)

So it’s time for another round of WHO SAID IT?! Grove notes that GMA spent two and a half minutes at the top of Friday’s show to tout ABC’s Super Bowl coverage “before even mentioning mass drownings in the Red Sea.”

“That was a joke, a f-ing embarrassment,” a knowledgeable morning show observer tells Grove. “Charlie Gibson and Robin Roberts wearing ‘GMA’ football uniforms while a thousand people drown? How can you put Charlie in such a terrible position? There’s a little sense of chaos and free fall over there.”
