GMA’s Amy Robach and TJ Holmes leave TV execs ‘absolutely smitten’ with their chemistry at meetings for pair’s new show
GOOD Morning America’s former hosts Amy Robach and TJ Holmes have won over TV executives and producers in recent pitch meetings for the couple’s new show.
One source who was present at some of Amy and TJ‘s meetings exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the pair’s “chemistry is off the charts” and “everyone loved them.”
The source said that while it was previously reported that TJ, 45, and Amy, 50, had been hitting up Ellen DeGeneres’ former team, they were actually pitching all syndicators, and not necessarily focused on Ellen’s former team, who now produce Jennifer Hudson’s show.
“They met with Extra’s team as well,” the source added of their stop in with Telepictures.
“They are aggressively following all leads. They know there is a clock on their notoriety before they may fade into the background, and they know they need to strike while the iron is hot on their relationship.”
HOT CHEMISTRY, RATINGS GOLD
Should their show become reality, one media expert previously told The U.S. Sun that it would be ratings gold.
Human resources pro Jason Greer exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Amy, and TJ’s future series would pull in viewers with hot topics and also their red-hot chemistry.
The couple- who were ousted from GMA over their reported affair- would need tight guidance from an HR professional, Jason said of the still legally married former co-hosts’ hopes to land a new program as a duo.
“I would have a lot of training with both Amy and TJ about respectful behavior in the workplace.
“Even though we’re talking about chemistry, there are millions of dollars that have been put into your show, and into the salaries of the people who support your show.

“So it’s really important that we don’t make them feel uncomfortable,” the expert added.
THE PITCH
Amy and TJ decided to pitch an idea for a new “up close and personal” talk show to CBS, NBC, and CNN, the DailyMail previously revealed.
According to the outlet, the couple is “aggressively” pitching a new program that will show off not only their on-air talent but also their “chemistry.”
Their approach to pitch themselves as a couple is timely considering the recent announcement that Kelly Ripa will be joined on Live by her husband Mark Consuelos after Ryan Seacrest’s departure.
One TV executive said: “Think about it. You have a show with two attractive hosts that does pretty well and then boom – the sexy romantic drama of the decade unfolds with your two stars.
“Who wouldn’t want to watch them interact every day – see those sparks fly?”
Insiders shared that the pair had been presenting their pitch while in Los Angeles, where they attended public relations legend Howard Bragman’s memorial in early March.
The memorial was their first public outing together as an official couple.
END OF THE ROAD
ABC had officially ended its relationship with the former anchors at the start of this year.
“After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and TJ Holmes about different options, we all agreed it’s best for everyone that they move on from ABC News,” a network spokesperson announced in January.
With their futures in broadcasting looking unclear, the two have been enjoying numerous vacations since their alleged affair was outted in November 2022.
FAMILY HEARTBREAK
TJ filed for divorce from his wife Marilee in December after 12 years married.
The exes share one daughter, Sabine, 10.
And Amy’s divorce from actor Andrew Shue is “nearly finalized” after they were also married for 12 years.
The couple share no children, though Amy has two daughters from her former marriage to Tim McIntosh.
