Nearly half a century after its debut reshaped American morning television, ABC’s “Good Morning America” marked its 50th anniversary on Monday, November 3, 2025, with a nod to its historic beginnings and enduring connection to viewers across generations.

On the same date in 1975, co-anchors David Hartman and Nancy Dussault greeted audiences with the now-iconic words, “Good morning, America.” Exactly 50 years later, the show’s current hosts — Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, and George Stephanopoulos — opened the milestone broadcast with that same warm greeting, paying tribute to the program’s legacy.

Since its first broadcast, GMA has grown into a cultural touchstone, chronicling five decades of world events, celebrity interviews, and human-interest stories while bringing viewers from bustling U.S. cities to remote corners of the globe.

From breaking news to heartwarming features, Good Morning America remains a defining presence in American television — celebrating not only its own evolution, but the millions of viewers who have shared their mornings with it for half a century.
