Good Morning America is wrapping up the first week in its new home downtown in New York City’s Hudson Square neighborhood. After broadcasting from Times Square for 26 years, the ABC morning show is now coming to viewers live from Studio C at the state-of-the-art Robert A. Iger building.

GMA correspondent Will Reeve promises it’s still the show you know and love, but “with a brand-new look to it in a way that’s going to serve viewers and hopefully serve the country better than it ever has.”

Part of the upgrade includes new ways of reporting weather and climate.

“Personally, our weather graphics and my meteorology team behind the scenes, we changed everything,” says ABC News chief meteorologist Ginger Zee. “And they worked so hard on making sure that it looks fresh and different. … I have multiple places, like a half dozen, I can do weather in this studio. And it’s big and it’s bold, and it’s everything that I wanted it to be.”

In addition to the new weather screens, there’s a new kitchen area for food segments and demonstrations, and a comfortable set for guest interviews and more.

“I think a lot of this is like peeling back the layers of an onion,” says GMA contributing anchor Rebecca Jarvis. “There are so many new features to this studio and every day you tune in, you’re gonna get a little something new, a new nook or cranny that you’ve never seen before.” 

Good Morning America airs at 7 a.m. ET on ABC.

Pixar’s latest film Elio soars into theaters on Friday.

Yonas Asuncion Kibreab lends his voice to the young Elio in the film, who finds himself beamed up into space and mistakenly identified as Earth’s ambassador to the universe.

Kibreab told Good Morning America he feels like he has a lot in common with his character.

“We’re both super energetic kids, and I’m always down for an adventure just like Elio,” Kibreab said. “What drew me to him is just his energy and how loving he is.”

He hopes that audiences come home from the film knowing they aren’t alone.

“If you’re feeling grief or feeling alone at times just like Elio, I just want them to really understand that everything is going to be OK and you’ll get through it just like Elio does,” Kibreab said.

Elio becomes an unexpected leader in the film. If Kibreab were to become a leader himself, are there any rules he would want to mandate?

“I think having name tags, I think would make the world a lot more friendlier,” Kibreab said. “Just like, ‘Hey James, Hi Bob,’ you know.”

Night Court is officially no more.

Melissa Rauch is mourning the end of the sitcom, which NBC canceled back in May, in a recent post shared to Instagram.

“I have held off on posting anything about Night Court not continuing until I knew we did everything in our power to find another home for it,” Rauch wrote. “Perhaps it was being raised on The Goonies ‘Never Say Die’ motto or straight up denial that I didn’t want this incredibly special experience to come to an end. That said, after turning over all the stones there were to be turned over, we’ve learned that it is officially the hour to say ‘farewell.’ Or at least, ‘Until next time.'”

The lengthy message captioned a slideshow of photos from the set of Night Court.

“I was told that the original creator of Night Court, the great Reinhold Weege, said that the courtroom doors were key to the show’s engine as they ushered in endless stories. And I like to think that’s how Night Court carries on. Just as it did in the 30 years between the first incarnation ending and us beginning,” Rauch wrote. “The evergreen revolving door of oddballs and cynics populating that Manhattan arraignment court in the wee hours of the night and at the center of it all a workplace family that will forever be…until next time.”

Night Court premiered in 2023. It was a sequel series to the original show, which aired from 1984 to 1992 on NBC. Rauch played Judge Abby Stone on the series, who was the daughter of the late Judge Harry Stone from the show’s original run.

Rauch executive produced Night Court. Several of her The Big Bang Theory castmates appeared in guest roles on the show, including Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar and Mayim Bialik.

Ellen Pompeo is opening up about critical acclaim and her time on Grey’s Anatomy.

The actress known for portraying Dr. Meredith Grey on the popular medical drama series recently told The Hollywood Reporter if she wanted more critical acclaim, she wouldn’t have stayed on the show as long as she has.

“On Grey’s, you really only get an opportunity to be nominated for things in your first few seasons, and so that time had clearly passed,” Pompeo said. “I didn’t crave that kind of recognition. I craved the sort of financial and job security situation more than I did critical accolades — that’s why I stayed on the show.”

While Pompeo has not been the main focus of the series since 2022, her character still narrates the show and has appeared on a handful of episodes over the last few seasons. She also executive produces the series.

“Had I been [chasing] critical acclaim, I wouldn’t have stayed on Grey’s for so long,” Pompeo said. “So it wasn’t always the most important thing to me but now that I’m doing something new, it would definitely, probably help me in this next chapter of my story — moving on from Grey’s, doing other roles.”

Now she says it might be nice to receive award recognition at some point in her career.

“I haven’t given anybody a reason to believe that I could do anything else, so if people did recognize that I did do something else and it was worthy of even just [an Emmy] nomination, maybe I can give myself a compliment, because I’m not so good at that!” Pompeo said. “After 500 episodes of TV, I think it’s OK to want a little trophy now.”
