Once a member of the GMA family, always a member of the GMA family. Since retiring over a decade ago, Charlie Gibson has returned for several guest appearances on the morning show he once anchored. During his April 2017 GMA visit, for example, Gibson briefly reunited with former co-host Robin Roberts, as well as co-hosts Michael Strahan, George Stephanopoulos, and Lara Spencer.
At first, Gibson was seated in the audience, and it took some coaxing to get him on stage. After a short back and forth with Roberts, Gibson was compelled to join the GMA team at the table when the studio audience began chanting, "Charlie! Charlie! Charlie!" While they did take Charlie on a short "walk down memory lane" with a montage of clips from his time at GMA, the reason for Gibson's visit was, of all things, a recipe he had created that rose to No. 1 on the GMA website. Gibson quipped, "It is so reassuring to know that my legacy on this show is a taco casserole."
Of course, Gibson's returns to GMA aren't too surprising, considering he had this to say during a Lincoln Center celebration of his 35-year career in 2009 (via ABC News): "I lucked into the best team game outside of sports. You can't forget how important it is what we do ... I have loved every damn day of it."
