Diane Sawyer: 17 possible 'Good Morning America' replacements

I vote for Helen Mirren. She's the best.

How about Elizabeth Vargas? Think she would be great.

I agree with you Pat. Vargas would be great. She is grossly under-used and under-appreciated at ABC. Do right by her and let here have this job

OH PLEASE!! none of these are serious! Why not put Marge Simpson as a canidate!

Samantha Bee would be AWESOME! That would totally add something new to morning news. If she was on, I would be all over the show!

GO SAMANTHA BEE!!

this list is stupid, I thought it was going to be something serious, not a joke. Good thing whoever wrote this list isnt actually going to make the hire.

I feel that a woman should replace Diane Sawyer. Men tend to over power women on television and Robin doesn't deserve second place.

Kate Gosselin? You are jerking my chain right?

Ellen DeGeneres. She would keep that little bit of fun in the morning like Diane does.

He is great on CNN and would be nice to have a male next to Robin.

I think Melissa should do it.

there is no one that could replace Diane Sawyer. She wakes America up. Who cares about the 7pm world news. Diane is about real people.
we love her and I think she is making a big mistake. Who cares if she will be only the 2nd woman to do that other show. I understand change is good, but we love you Diane! Stay at GMA!!

no one should replace Diane. Everyone loves waking up to Diane. Diane stands for the real people. Who cares about 7pm world news, let one of the stuffed shirts do that.I am totally surprised and hurt to know that Diane would even want to leave GMA. Its a family! So what if she will be only the 2nd woman to do the world news. We want to wake up to Diane! I think she is making a big mistake! Please stay Diane, cause no one can fill your shoes!

Anybody BUT Anderson Cooper! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

If Ellen or Kate gets the job, I'll have to switch to the Today Show. YUCK! Of these limited choices, my choice is Anderson, even though I'd prefer another female.

First off, Daine can't be "replaced". She is a true lady in every sense of the word. Now, who I would like to see take over her job is Lisa Ling. All of the 17 people I have seen listed are world known peopole but they don't know about the world's events. I think it is important for the person at the news desk be able to cover things like Diane did when the twin towers were taken down, or the plane that went down in PA. I will miss her genuine face and caring soul. Thanks for all your good years.

This list is a complete joke. There are only a couple of serious candidates. Anderson Cooper, would be an excellent choice. He is well informed on many of the issues and does not enter his own political agenda into his own program. Elizabeth Vargas would be another excellent choice with the background to take on the work load and give the most accurate information available to the viewers. George Stephanopolis would be the complete wrong way to go, he is too much of a Clinton drone boy and we would only hear about how Obama is saving the world and should deserve another Nobel Peace Prize. Ellen is a great person, but not a news caster. Kate is on a power and money trip!!

Ellen DeGeneres would be OK but why not Robin Mead or Kelly Rippa?

I think Helen Mirren and Amy Sedaris would be the perfect mix!
