“GMA” host George Stephanopoulos has been “miserable” after being forced to apologize following the President Trump fiasco — and staffers are already speculating about who might replace him, The Post has learned
Stephanopoulos has been rumored to be on his way out, according to multiple network sources, since ABC News parent Disney agreed to settle a defamation suit in December over the anchor insisting on-air that Trump was “found liable for rape” — instead of sexual abuse — in a lawsuit by journalist E. Jean Carroll.
As part of Disney’s deal with Trump, the former Democratic operative — who co-hosts “GMA” with Roberts and Michael Strahan — was forced to issue an apology.
The whole episode has turned out to be “emasculating” for the “This Week” host, who has isolated himself even more than usual since the settlement, a source with knowledge told The Post.
“George seems miserable,” the source said, musing that the network could wait to pull the plug on him this summer when things are “dead” or later in the year.
“He’s definitely gone,” the insider predicted. “He’s a dead man walking for sure.”
Multiple sources added that he could remain at the network in a lower profile way, possibly working on film and TV projects.
But another source close to the network shot down talk that Stephanopoulos is miserable at “GMA.”
“This is nonsense, anyone watching ‘GMA’ can see he’s engaged, all-in, and as committed as ever.” the source said, adding, “He’s happy to be here.”

Little man should be deep in prison for the felonies he committed during the Clinton years.
A monkey in a bow tie could fill his chair at the desk.
Being a dimocrat means never having to say you’re sorry. Georgie is a dimocrat. He is suffering severe cognitive dissonance after the apology.
yes, yes. We have some parting gifts for you to take as the security guards escort you out.
Poor liddle Georgie - so sorry NOT!
How could they tell?
So let me get this straight: he said on air that Trump had been physically determined to be a racist. It is indisputably true that no such determination took place. So now he has the sads because he was forced to apologize? What a small, small man in every sense
He suffers from the Dan Rather syndrome. It’s amazing that immediately after ABC had to pay $17 million, they turned around and signed him to another contract. 😳 Neither he nor ABC News has a shred of credibility now.
USAIDPAID now a shimp staring at a shelf full of empty awards: a meaningless trite existence with little shiny etched brass plates tacked on a walnut stained piece of wood in a long forgotten high school trophy case saying, “Voted best liar”. 1993 - 2000.
Poor Lil” Georgie Porgie. Hit the road Clinton ball kisser. Have comfort in knowing at least you will save money on your shoe lift inserts and milk crates when you are gone.
2 down. Mike is leaving too. He’s taken a head coaching job somewhere.
Hit the road, George.
ABC demonstrated it total political corruption by hiring him. He has no business being at any “News” organization when he was Bill Clinton’s #1` propaganda bot.
The hysteria the Alt Left went into when some RINO was being considered for a job at one of the alphabet networks shows just how utterly hypocritical it is for ABC to keep Georgy around.
The entire MSM, plus the Democrats and the Deep State, have spent the last eight or nine trying to emasculate Donald Trump every single day, 24-7. And they failed. Now, why might that be?
When
When he exits.
It’s when
Let me know when the revolting David Muir issues an apology on his way out the door.
Go to CNN George.
Being forced to apologize to Trump is what emasculated little Georgie?
Nah, I’m pretty sure that dinghy sailed a long time ago.
Amazing? It's routine in that industry. He said exactly what they scripted for him. If they reneged on the deal, he'd be free to tell everyone which producer directed him to say it.
