ABC is reportedly “close to finalizing a deal” that would make Keke Palmer a full-time third host on its daytime talk show, “Strahan and Sara” alongside “Good Morning America” personalities Michael Strahan and Sara Haines.
What We Know:
- The network became fond of Palmer, who has frequently filled in as a guest co-host including during Haines’ recent maternity leave.
- “Keke has been so much fun filling in, so they decided to make her an offer,” said the insider. “The audience knows her and she’s got great chemistry with both [hosts],” an insider told Page Six.
- The network is hoping that the “Scream Queens” star will help ratings and attract a younger audience.
- The afternoon program was originally a spinoff of “Good Morning America” and called “GMA Day.” The name was then changed and replaced “The Chew,” which was canceled due to low ratings.
It’s not yet clear whether the network would change the name of the show again to include Palmer’s name.
