“It’s unfortunate, but the hope is that they’ll be a big part of [GMA 3] down the road,” an insider told Page Six. “Everyone was feeling good about their show. It was nominated for three Daytime Emmys. It finally found its rhythm. Ratings were stabilized and were starting to tick up when they went off-air.”
Palmer joined the show last year injecting youthful energy into the programming. The 26-year-old recently went viral for pleading with National Guard members to “march with us,” during a protest against police violence in Los Angeles on June 2.
