TV's Josh Elliott About to Cash-In

Josh Elliott

It’s crunch time for ABC and “Good Morning America” anchor Josh Elliott as the clock ticks down on his contract expiration. Elliott, who’s now making about $1.2 million a year, is demanding $8 million a year to stay, sources exclusively tell Page Six at The NY Post.

Elliott has just four weeks left on his contract, and the two sides are deadlocked over cash. Meanwhile, Elliott is also in talks with NBC to possibly jump ship and take on a role covering both news and sports there.

A source says: “Josh knows he is integral to the success of ‘GMA’ and wants a huge pay increase to stay. He wants $8 million, while ABC is offering $4 million. Josh’s background is sports. He started at ESPN, so his agents at CAA [Creative Artists Agency] have been actively talking to NBC about a part-news, part-sports role, like a younger Bob Costas.”
