The job search is going painfully slow for Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes. The former news anchors are reportedly pitching a talk show to other networks after they were let go by ABC News in January.
Problems began for Robach and Holmes when they took their workplace romance public in November 2022 — while still married to their spouses.
They were fired by ABC on January 27. Both walked away with payouts of their remaining contracts.
Robach and Holmes are reportedly “desperate” to get back in front of television cameras.
According to The NY Post, every network has steered clear of the radioactive couple.
CBS Media Ventures reportedly turned down a talk show proposal from the couple.
CNN also turned down a Holmes & Robach talk show pitched by their talent agency, CAA, according to a report.
Insiders say Holmes and Robach are too risky. Holmes’ history of bedding female co-workers is particularly troublesome to network lawyers.
“If they did a talk show, what would they talk about? What’s their expertise — infidelity?” said one skeptical TV expert. “They’d take anything. I think they’d host a game show at this point.”
Holmes and Robach, seen here running the NYC Half Marathon on Sunday, have also approached Fox Entertainment and Fox Television Stations for a syndicated show. They’re even considering doing a reality TV series if all else fails.
