The show will provide special looks back at great GMA moments, and exclusive content and interviews, according to Variety. For the show's 30th anniversary, the staff celebrated with "red carpet cocktail party at the Lincoln Center in NYC" and a video look back of some of their greatest moments, according to Ad Week.
The long-running program began back in 1975 and was hosted at that time by Bill Beutel and Stephanie Edwards, with Peter Jennings and Robert Kennedy reading the news. Jennings was noted as "one of America's most distinguished journalists," who reported many of the pivotal events that have shaped our world, according to ABC News.
