Dethroned GMA3 hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are shopping around a new talk show, this time selling their electric chemistry. It has been reported that the two lovers are “aggressively pitching” an up close and personal talk show to the producers behind The Ellen Show

An insider at Page Six claims that the couple welcomes “ongoing coverage” of their relationship and is not afraid to give the people what they want.

“It’s easier for them to pitch a show if they stay in the news, and they think they’re rock stars. They’re selling their chemistry,” the source said.

Last week, it was reported that Robach and Holmes were pitching their show to ABC competitors, including CNN, CBS and NBC.

The Ellen Show, which aired from 2003 to 2022 on NBC, was produced by A Very Good Production and Telepictures, the latter of which is a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Television Studios.

The Page Six source continued to say that ABC execs loved Robach and Holmes’ chemistry before their extramarital affair hit the tabloids, and “they fed into it.”

Following the reveal of their affair, clips from GMA3 began to surface, showing the two flirting on air while they prepared to run the New York City Marathon, despite the Page Six source claiming that they sold ABC on their “brother-sister chemistry.” 

Now, the source believes, “they’re selling sex.” The insider added, “They absolutely believe that their chemistry would sell, because it sold at ABC.”

Back at ABC, the network allegedly isn’t in a rush to replace the two hosts, who were ousted on Jan. 25 after being removed from air in December. Robach and Holmes reportedly had a mediation session with the network before their exit, which resulted in a payout, per their contracts.

It has been claimed that GMA3 fill-ins Gio Benitez and DeMarco Morgan are frontrunners to join Dr. Jennifer Ashton on the lunchtime talk show, following their temporary hosting duties in Robach and Holmes’ absence.
