TIMES SQUARE is uncharac-teristically quiet at 6:59 a.m. on a chilly fall Tuesday. A stream of cabs zips through the intersection outside the Good Morning America
studio at 44th Street and Broadway, not yet steady enough to cause the honk of a horn. A dozen fans of the show press up against the windows as the GMA team prepares to go live. Terrie McCaleb of Hutto, Texas, holds a sign that reads “Home of the Hippos.” It’s Hutto High School’s mascot, she explains.
McCaleb attended a wedding in Pittsburgh , and she, her husband and son decided to venture further east to New York. Their son is a fi refi ghter, so they aimed to hit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. GMA is Terrie’s favorite show, which is how she ended up in Times Square on this October morning.
“I love how transparent Robin is about her life,” says McCaleb of Robin Roberts, cancer’s most public survivor.
The smiling assassins of ‘Good Morning America’
and ‘Today’ want to win at all costs. As America marks
40 years of waking up to ‘GMA,’ the ABC stalwart
is once again playing the underdog.
