*Within hours of ABC’s announcement that “Good Morning America” anchor Charlie Gibson would be replacing the pregnant Elizabeth Vargas on "World News Tonight," Bryant Gumbel’s name was mentioned as one of several being considered to fill the “GMA” void.
While ABC News has yet to make an official announcement, the New York Post is reporting that “Dancing with the Stars” host Tom Bergeron is the frontrunner to replace Gibson, but Gumbel is high on the list as well.
Other names being considered, according to the Post, are New York newsman Bill Ritter, who co-anchored "GMA Sunday” from 1993 to 1999; and "GMA Weekend Edition" co-anchor Bill Weir.
ABC News may opt to keep “GMA’s” current morning team as is: with the two remaining anchors, Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts.
"For right now they are our dynamic duo -- there's no immediate decision on a replacement," a "GMA" spokeswoman told the Post.
