Amy Robach

Amy Joanne Robach was born on February 6, 1973, in St. Joseph, Michigan. She grew up in East Lansing, Michigan, and later moved to St. Louis before settling in Georgia for her high school and college years. Robach graduated with high honors in broadcast journalism from the University of Georgia. Her career in television journalism began in 1995 at WCBD-TV, followed by a move to WTTG in Washington, D.C., in 1999. In August 2003, Robach joined NBC News, where she worked as a national correspondent from 2003 to 2007. She further extended her role by becoming a co-host of the Saturday edition of NBC’s “Today” show and an anchor on MSNBC, where she remained until May 2012.

From May 2012 to January 2023, Robach was a prominent figure at ABC News. She started as a contributor for “Good Morning America” and was promoted to the show’s news anchor on March 31, 2014. Her career at ABC also included co-anchoring “20/20” alongside David Muir from May 2018. A significant career turning point occurred in March 2020 when she began hosting “Pandemic: What You Need to Know,” a program initially focused on the COVID-19 pandemic, which later evolved into “GMA3: What You Need to Know,” a show she co-hosted from September 2020 to December 2022.

Robach’s journalism also involved covering major news events globally. A notable personal milestone was her breast cancer diagnosis in 2013, which was revealed after she underwent a mammogram live on “Good Morning America.” She subsequently became an ambassador for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). In December 2023, after her departure from ABC News, Robach launched a podcast, “Amy & T.J.,” with T.J. Holmes on iHeartRadio, marking a new chapter in her media career.
