George Stephanopoulos is ‘miserable’ at ‘GMA’ after Trump apology — and speculation heats up over who could fill his anchor chair if he exits

“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.”

He is a hardcore leftist hack. A little tool of the Democrat Party.

Here he is coaching a clueless imbecile through an interview:

“Who would fill his chair?”

wouldn’t ABC need to buy a larger chair? I mean anybody could fill George’s small chair, say a 10-year-old, a puppy, a parrot…. Any of those could fill it….

Quite a predicament — so few malignant dwarfs available to replace him.

Georgie lost his man-card years ago. Assuming he had one.

I had to actually scroll through the article and find an image to tell me that ‘GMA’ is some TV show. This is not the Free republic of my youth!

Yes, both physically and mentally.

He did apologize then wrote some smarmy posts about it on social media.

Maybe they’ll do to him what they did to David Hartman - put him on “special assignment” to Central Africa, Outer Mongolia, etc.

Ooh...I don’t know. The smarmy comments were something like:
“Apology made, ring kissed, ....”
I don’t recall the rest of it.
