It’s official. After 10 years, Diane Sawyer is leaving ABC News’ Good Morning America. Sawyer announced this morning that she’ll step down as co-anchor of Good Morning America this week. “I’ve calculated — 2,881 shows,” Sawyer said. “Roughly.”

Sawyer, 63, will take over for retiring World News anchor Charles Gibson, who will exit the show on Dec. 18. Diane starts Dec. 21. “I hope you celebrate with us this week, laugh with us this week,” Sawyer said.

There’s still confirmation on who will be taking a seat in the anchor’s chair previously occupied by Sawyer; although early buzz has political analyst George Stephanopolis as shoe-in for the gig.
