The afternoon GMA series hosted by Michael Strahan, Sara Haines and Keke Palmer is being replaced with GMA3: What You Need to Know, reports Page Six. Strahan, Sara and Keke hasn't been on air since March, when it was replaced by Pandemic: What You Need to Know, a daily coronavirus report anchored by Amy Robach, Dr. Jen Ashton and occasionally TJ Holmes. ABC has yet to confirm Strahan, Sara and Keke's cancelation. GMA3: Strahan, Sara & Keke premiered in September 2018 as Strahan & Sara. It changed its name when Keke Palmer was added in January 2019.

It(Strahan, Sara & KeKe) should need more retooling & revamping while on hiatus because I think it’s too soon that show to be axed

How can it be called Good Morning America if it airs during the afternoon?

The Chew got cancelled and it got replaced by a third hour of Good Morning America which airs in the afternoon.

Sounds like a losing proposition either way.

An hour of talking heads replaced by info-tainment.

The Chew was on for a long time, but ABC announced the end of the series after its seventh season.

I found out it was cancelled by reading this thread.

Sara Haines was doing a lot of fill in duty at The View during the early weeks of the pandemic. She was also a regular co-host between 2016-2018 apparently according to wikipedia.

Abby Huntsman left at the end of last year, and the 5th anchor chair wasn't replaced.

I don't think that have 5 co-hosts with 5 split screens will work as they are all working from home, so I can't see Sara just being added in.

But, maybe she will continue to be a recurring contributor or substitute for GMA and The View, ABC News Live or elsewhere in ABC News.

As for Keke, she has less exposure in the ABC morning space and likely is already terminated from ABC.

I didnt realize the show wasnt on anymore at 1pm but I cant say I am surprised because that type of show can't air right now

Maybe ABC could bring back The Chew. Carla Hall might be still available to lead the show and have cooking from home.

I think it'd be better programming than Pandemic related programming at 1pm.

Here in Philly, WPVI which is owned by ABC runs Rachael Ray now at 2pm. I think The Chew could be a complementary lead-in show.

They should cancel the View

I know someone who worked on The Chew (I loved that show). I asked her when the third hour of GMA got cancelled if they'd bring it back. She said it would be almost impossible.
She told me there were hundreds of people working behind the scenes. There was a huge kitchen, they would make the meals and show the hosts what to do. It's not like Clinton or Carla are going to be able to come up with different dishes by themselves. With COVID, they aren't going to be able to have the back-up people they'd need.

I don't think any of the hosts have worked since it ended on television.

"Strahan, Sara & Keke" a Casualty of Pandemic? "The Conversation has Changed, So I Expected It," Says Palmer
by Andy Swift

ABC has said “good day” to "GMA3: Strahan, Sara & Keke". The talk show, hosted by Michael Strahan, Sara Haines and Keke Palmer, will not return to the network’s daytime schedule.

Palmer confirmed the news in an appearance on Sunday’s "Watch What Happens Live", admitting to host Andy Cohen that she found the cancellation “expected,” given the urgency of the pandemic.



“I knew if our show did come back, it would have to be much, much, much later, because our show is really about an audience,” Palmer added.

“That’s what we do. We do a little bit of news, but it’s entertainment news. It’s fun conversations and lightheartedness, and we’re in a different time now. Some of the conversation has changed, and that pushed SSK out. So I expected it.”

Sara Haines Reveals Why she "Cried Every Day" on GMA3
by Joey Nolfi
June 2, 2025


"The View" cohost Sara Haines might've enjoyed her time working with Michael Strahan and Keke Palmer on ABC's short-lived "GMA3: Strahan, Sara, and Keke" talk show, but she revealed in a new podcast interview that she battled intense personal turmoil behind the scenes while working on the show.

In a recent appearance on the Question Everything podcast with Danielle Robay, the 47-year-old reflected on headlining the program alongside Strahan across the third hour of "Good Morning America's" various shifts over the years, including Palmer's addition to the 2018 program's full-time lineup in 2019.



While Haines told Robay she enjoyed working with Strahan and Palmer (and remains close with them), she can now look back on a bit of "foreshadowing" for the show's demise, after she said the ABC team pitched her a few titles for the new show at the time, and ended up selecting the one title she recalled expressing distaste with.

“That should’ve told me everything I needed to know," Haines joked.



“I think the problem was it was a failed experiment from the beginning. You can’t put a Kelly and Michael show at that hour," Haines observed, referencing Strahan's tenure on — and tumultuous exit from — daytime icon Kelly Ripa's "Live" show in 2016.

"They needed to keep it branded [to GMA] to make it that. If it was going to be a standalone, it couldn’t be a replication. I wasn’t the only one thinking it was like a [Kelly and Michael]. I’m sure Michael was thinking that."






Haines said that comparing herself to Strahan and Palmer's fame "took me back to dark places" in her own mind over "the pressure" to live up to both of her cohosts' standings in the industry.

Further complicating things, Haines said, was the day she and her husband, Max Shifrin, were expecting their third child, Caleb, who was born in June 2019.

One week before she discovered Caleb was on the way, Haines said she remembered telling Shifrin that she "could have a mental breakdown" if she became pregnant while attempting to make GMA3 a success after leaving her full-time post at "The View" (which she first landed in 2016) to do so.



“That was the beginning of all the falling dominos,” explained Haines. “I knew the north star was family, but I also know, girl, you were just given a show, and you are Sara, not Michael. You get pregnant? Every bad female storyline started flying at my face.”

She said Shifrin then told her to "stop holding on to this show like it was the dream you had, because it never was. It just sounded like it," which allowed her time to breathe and relax while accepting that the fate of the show was sealed, as she and others suspected it would be discontinued with Haines, Strahan, and Palmer in 2020.






Ahead of the show's 2020 retooling, also contributing to Haines' anxieties behind the scenes were what she called perceived shifts in how the "GMA3" staff treated her after she returned to work after Caleb's birth.

“I hadn’t changed. Everyone else projected a change,” Haines said, adding that she felt like she wasn't getting the same opportunities to do more daring segments. “I cried every day. Funny enough, there were a lot of great moments. The staff was amazing. I loved Keke and Michael, talk about laughing until you hurt. It wasn’t anyone’s fault, that’s the problem. As it played out, it felt like I was being dragged behind a car. For the first time, I couldn’t wait to leave.”
