Good Morning America (GMA) viewers were treated to a familiar face on Friday, October 10, as Robin Roberts took a well-deserved break. In her place, the trusted and beloved Rebecca Jarvis stepped in, bringing her expertise and charm to the morning show. Jarvis, a seasoned journalist and ABC team member, joined Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos to close out the week with a bang. But here's where it gets interesting: Rebecca's early morning appearance was a sight to behold. She looked stunning in a deep purple, three-quarter-length sleeve sweater, paired with gold jewelry and soft waves cascading down her shoulders. It's no wonder viewers were delighted! But what's even more impressive is Rebecca's journey to becoming a trusted member of the ABC team. Her career began with a bang when she made her television debut in 2005 as a contestant on The Apprentice. She quickly caught the eye of viewers with her resilience, as she broke her ankle mid-task and remained on crutches for the rest of the show. Despite being the runner-up, she left a lasting impression on then-host Donald Trump. Her first foray into television journalism came in 2006 when she joined CNBC as an associate business reporter. She moved to CBS in 2010, where she became a business and economics correspondent and later co-anchor of CBS This Morning Saturday. In 2013, she made her way back to ABC News, where she has been a valuable asset ever since. But Rebecca's talents go beyond her reporting skills. She's also the host, creator, and managing editor of the weekly news show Real Biz with Rebecca Jarvis, and in 2017, she launched a podcast called No Limits with Rebecca Jarvis. Her major recognition came in 2019 when she became the host of The Dropout, a podcast that chronicles the rise and fall of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. The podcast was a hit and inspired an award-winning Hulu miniseries, for which Rebecca served as an executive producer. As a business correspondent, she reports for GMA, Nightline, David Muir's ABC World News Tonight and 20/20, and This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Off-screen, Rebecca is a devoted wife and mother. She married investment banker Matthew Hanson in 2012, and they welcomed their daughter, Isabel Naomi, in 2019. It's safe to say that Rebecca Jarvis is a true professional and a joy to watch on screen. So, the next time you tune in to GMA, keep an eye out for Rebecca. You might just catch a glimpse of her charm and expertise, and you'll understand why she's such a beloved member of the ABC team.
