Normally, news anchors are the ones reporting the scary news. However, yesterday, before Good Morning America’s July 29 broadcast on the 2025 TV schedule, one of its anchors, George Stephanopoulos, lived the scary news as he got stuck in an elevator. He’s perfectly fine, don’t worry. In fact, he reported his own story on the morning news. However, seeing this all go down spooked me.
As the anchors of GMA went over the headlines of the day, they also took a minute to acknowledge the newsworthy event that happened in their building. After George Stephanopoulos got stuck in an elevator in their office, the New York Fire Department had to come to the rescue. It seemed like quite the event, take a look:

said a curse word on air. Admittedly, those are two very different situations. However, if I were the GMA host, I would have been deeply stressed, much like the Today with Jenna and Friends host was.
Truly, getting stuck in an elevator is a real fear I have. So, George Stephanopoulos’ situation is a literal nightmare. However, his little issue did prove how perfectly fine you can be when stuck in this situation. As long as you remain cool, calm, collected and patient, you’ll probably be fine. Plus, if you have good enough data or wifi in that moving tin can, you can distract yourself with work and reading, like he did.
Plus, he wasn’t even late for the broadcast. He was there at the top of the show and did his work like it was a normal day. So, all around, this wound up being a very entertaining and lighthearted story, which I love to see.
Now, GMA has been involved in some big news and rumors. Earlier this year, there was speculation that GMA3 might get canceled, which turned out not to be true. That hour of the broadcast has made headlines over the years, too, as Michael Strahan, Sara Haines and Keke Palmer’s iteration of it was axed, and then it faced drama when it became public knowledge that Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes were in a relationship.
These days, GMA is doing well. Well, except for the fact that George Stephanopoulos got stuck in an elevator. But have no fear, he’s fine, he made it to work, and he got some emails finished while he was waiting to be saved.
Now, if you’d like to see Stephanopoulos cover the daily news, which normally isn’t about him, you can tune into Good Morning America on ABC or stream it with a Hulu subscription.
