SHOW SHAKEUP

Meanwhile, fans think Whit is quitting his GMA position as David has been missing from his usual post for the past six days.

Whit sat on David's desk to deliver news Friday night.

He closed off the news segment by saying: "Thanks so much for watching tonight. I'm Whit Johnson in New York, and I'll see you on GMA in the morning."

Concerned fans took to social media to note David's absence - but also to compliment Whit on his great run filling David's seat.

One wrote: "Just want to say how much I enjoy Whit Johnson's delivery of the news. He keeps bias out of his voice and doesn’t repeat what has already been shown."

A second posted: "Feels like David quit on us the past six days."

Yet a third speculated: "Wouldn't be shocked if ABC is grooming Whit to take David's job sometime soon."

A fourth stated: "He's probably on vacation. He'll be back next week."

WEEKEND TEAM

Whit usually fills his weekend alongside the weekend team at GMA.

The current GMA weekend panel includes Janai Norman, Eva Pilgrim and Whit.

When Janai made her debut on her ABC show, viewers claimed they noticed a spark of tension between the anchors. 

During one moment, Whit turned to his co-anchor and said: "This is like the TV equivalent of putting a ring on it.” 

His comment was a reference to promising something like an engagement or wedding ring. 

Fans slammed Whit's "rude" comment while praising Janai's "first day" on the morning show.

One viewer said at the time: "Was that already a rude comment coming from Whit? Come on it's just her first day!"

"Janai, please tell me you are getting combat pay for working with Whit Johnson!" another chimed in.

'SHE'S FAMILY'

After the July 4th weekend, Whit tweeted: " Thrilled to officially welcome Janai to the anchor desk for weekend GMA.

"If you’ve been watching, you know Janai’s more than a colleague or friend…she’s family.

"A dedicated and dynamic storyteller overflowing with passion and warmth. So happy for you Janai!"

JANAI'S LIFE

The 32-year-old anchor is married to her husband Eli Norman and they share two kids.

Janai previously worked in Oklahoma and Florida before landing at ABC in New York City.

Prior to her time at GMA, she worked at Pop News on the weekend and was the overnight anchor for World News Now and America This Morning.
