    David Muir is a familiar face on ABC bringing viewers the latest news headlines on his shows and .

    The TV favorite is set to face a big change on the latter program in the near future too, as he will be joined by a new co-star.

    Until recently, David hosted 20/20 alongside Amy Robach, but after the mother-of-two was dismissed from ABC at the end of January, he has been hosting alone.

    Amy had been working on 20/20 since 2018, but after her high-profile affair with GMA3 co-star T.J. Holmes came to light in November, she has been off air.

    It could well be that 20/20's contributing anchor, Deborah Roberts, will fill Amy's shoes.

    Deborah has been reporting on the show since 1995 and landed the role as a contributing anchor in October.

    David has not spoken out since Amy's dismissal, but is no doubt still in touch with his former co-star. The pair were good friends, and he has said in the past that he hoped he and Amy were "able to break through that noise and give these people the voice they deserve," while hosting together.

    The pair not only worked on 20/20 together, but Good Morning America too. David regularly fills in on the popular morning news show, and back in 2021 he even took his long-running segment, American Strong, to GMA for a month.
