AceShowbiz - Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are gearing up for a new venture show. If a new report is to be believed, the former "Good Morning America" co-hosts are pitching their own show idea to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" producers.
An insider told Page Six that the couple has been "aggressively" pitching the idea to the producers since they want to continue profit from their chemistry. "It's easier for them to pitch a show if they stay in the news, and they think they're rock stars," the source explained. "They're selling their chemistry."
The source revealed network executives constantly commented on how perfect they were together as on-air hosts and "they fed into it." The informant added, "They absolutely believe that their chemistry would sell, because it sold at ABC. They sold this brother/sister chemistry. Now, they're selling sex."
Meanwhile, a source close to Amy claimed that they are "pitching a show a la Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos" because they'll have to get back to work eventually. The insider added, "Whatever deal they got from ABC is not going to sustain them."
The former "GMA3" co-hosts were fired after their affair was exposed in November 2022. ABC allegedly accused Amy and T.J. of several forms of misconduct. Amy was said to have liquor in her dressing room and appear intoxicated following a College National Championship football game.
According to previous reports, ABC believed that the couple should've disclosed their relationship with executives to avoid further issues. Despite that, the company agreed to give the pair their payouts before their exit.
T.J.'s ex-wife Marie Fiebig allegedly felt disrespected and disappointed by the relationship. "It's a relationship that is going strong. She knows he's definitely not coming back. She feels disrespected because they are all over each other in photos and she's hurt because she sees it's the real deal and knows now he's not going to reconcile with her," a source previously claimed.
As for Amy, she's not on great terms with her ex-husband Andrew Shue because of her romance with T.J. "He wants nothing to do with her leaving 'GMA' and her being with T.J. He's taking it hard because the whole thing has been so messy," an insider said.
