Good Morning America’s Saturday and Sunday will have a new co-anchor as ABC News president Kim Godwin announced that Janai Norman is joining the broadcast.
Norman already is a familiar face for those who watch the show on the weekend as she handled the pop news assignments during the lighter segments of Good Morning America’s weekend show.
She has been with ABC News full-time since 2016 joining the network as a multi-platform reporter based in Washington D.C., then transferred to New York, where Norman became the overnight anchor for World News Now and America This Morning.
“Janai is a versatile and talented journalist, whether she is anchoring at the desk, conducting a one-on-one interview with a newsmaker of the day, or reporting in the field on breaking news,” Godwin said in a statement, per TV Newser.
“She puts her heart into her work and makes it a priority to cover the most important underreported issues of our time, including the maternal mortality crisis facing Black women and the stigma of mental health.”
Furthermore, Norman will begin her new role effective immediately.
