ABC’s Good Morning America franchise is saying goodbye to one of its weekend anchors.

According to TV Insider, the Status newsletter reported that Janai Norman’s contract with Good Morning America Weekend expired, and the network chose not to renew it. Norman became a GMA Weekend co-anchor in 2022, and it’s unclear whether she’ll move to another ABC show or when her final day on GMA Weekend will be. She also hosts Oh Baby! on ABC stations.

An ABC News spokesperson declined the New York Post‘s request for comment on Norman’s departure.

Before ‘GMA,’ Norman was an ABC News correspondent and anchored programs like ‘World News Now’ and ‘America This Morning’

Norman first joined ABC News in 2011 as an intern, TV Insider reported. She later became a correspondent for the network in New York and went on to anchor programs like World News Now and America This Morning. She also hosted the “Pop News” segment on GMA Weekend, and her work was instrumental in launching the second hour of the show’s Saturday edition in October 2019.

Before joining GMA, Norman, who also anchored ABC News Live Weekend on a rotating basis while co-anchoring GMA Weekend, per TV Insider, worked at local stations in Missouri, Oklahoma and Florida, the New York Post reported.

Norman embraced her natural hair on-screen

Norman’s tenure on GMA saw her embrace wearing her natural hair on TV— a decision she opened up about in a 2019 essay for ABC News.

“For nearly 30 years, I was conditioned by a standard of beauty that left me out. I was not included. TV, magazines, society — by omission — told me I was not beautiful, my hair needed to be bone straight, my eyes blue or green, my skin fair, and I didn’t make the cut,” she wrote.

Norman explained that upon learning she was pregnant in 2017, she knew she “wanted my kid to grow up loving themselves exactly as they are,” and the best way to encourage that was to “embody that confidence and sense of self-worth in myself.”

For the GMA Weekend anchor, that looked like “accepting my hair as it grows from my head.”

That decision kick-started the #FreeTheCurls movement that encouraged other Black journalists to embrace their natural hair on camera.

“I imagine the reporter who’s the only black women at her station or in her small market, who wants to wear her natural hair but is too fearful for whatever reason,” she penned. “I hope she feels like, hey, if she can, I can, too.”
