The TV star revealed the news while in the studio with GMA ladies Deborah Roberts, 62, Rebecca Jarvis, 41, Lara Spencer, and Ginger Zee, 42.

“We want to say goodbye and thank you to Scott Snyder,” the news anchor said as the camera panned to Scott standing to the side.

The entire room erupted in applause for the camera operator, who was retiring after 44 years with the network.

George boasted about his colleague, saying he “starts every day with a smile,” before encouraging Scott to smile at the camera.

A photo also appeared onscreen of another GMA veteran, Robin Roberts, 62, posing with Scott to commemorate his last day.

Deborah later shared a snap of her and Scott on her Instagram Stories, gushing over their friendship.

“To a ray of sunshine, Scott Snyder! What a gentleman,” she wrote.

MISSING CO-HOSTS

George held down the fort on the daytime TV program on Friday as his usual co-hosts, Robin and Michael Strahan, 51, were absent.

Instead, Deborah and Rebecca occupied their seats, but George didn’t address the reason for the changeup.

Neither Michael nor Robin indicated their whereabouts on their respective Instagram accounts either.

Robin, however, did share a lengthy tribute to Scott in honor of his retirement on Instagram.

WHERE’S MICHAEL?

 

As for Michael, he’s been missing from GMA for quite some time with no explanation of where he’s been.

The last time the ex-NFL star appeared on the show was July 20, and his colleagues have been filling in at the news desk.

Linsey Davis, 51, took Michael’s spot on Thursday and earlier in the week while he’s been away.

It is not clear when Michael will be returning to his hosting duties.
