Good Morning America Host Reveals Shocking Career Change
Good Morning America consistently beats other morning programs in the ratings. Viewers are familiar with the hosts on the ABC morning show and don’t want any changes. One host has been teasing a career change for months, sparking speculation about their future with GMA.
Lara Spencer joined Good Morning America as a contributor in 1999. She left for a while but returned in 2011. She’s been a fan favorite for over two decades. Her main focus on the show now is design and lifestyle segments. She’s been hinting for months about a career change. She finally revealed on social media that she’s heading up her own design competition for Freeform.
“My new Thrifting/design competition show launches in 2 months on @freeform and @hulu,” she wrote on social media.
The GMA host added, “I do it in real life every week with my design partner Lisa-hunting for gorgeous treasures for our booth LeTigre Collection at @fairfieldcountyantiquedesign. 50 separate design/antique dealers open 7 days a week.” The Fairfield County Antique and Design store is located in Norwalk, Connecticut.
More Details About New Show
That Thrifting Show premieres on Freeform and Hulu in March. An article on Freeform’s website shared more details on Lara Spencer’s new competition series.
“In the 12-episode series, vintage design expert Lara Spencer presents two designer duos with identical rooms. With limited time and budget, teams must treasure hunt for vintage and thrift store finds to design their way to beautiful, layered, finished rooms. It’s style and sustainability in a race against the clock.”
“It is so meaningful to share my childhood love of thrifting and celebrate this new generation’s passion for sustainable design,” Lara Spencer said in a statement for the press release.
Sounds exciting!
This isn’t Lara Spencer’s first time hosting a design show. She starred on HGTV’s Flea Market Flip for 14 seasons. She won a Daytime Emmy Award in 2017 for Outstanding Lifestyle Program.
The GMA host shared a glimpse on social media of some of her thrifting finds. The photos included vintage lamps, vases, and more.
Her social media followers reacted to the news with excitement. Many replied that they couldn’t wait for Lara Spencer’s new show.
- “I can’t wait to see this show!!”
- “Looking forward to this!”
- “Can’t wait to tune in!”
It’s unlikely the side hustle will interfere with her work on Good Morning America. She often presents viewers with “Deals & Steals” in a special segment on the morning program. Stay tuned for an official air date for her Freeform thrifting competition.
