## Summary

Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos are set to receive stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, recognising their nearly two decades as co-anchors of Good Morning America. In an interview, they reflected on how their different personalities and shared values helped them work together, and on the pressures of presenting news during an era when the media is often attacked.

Stephanopoulos joined the programme on 14 December 2009 after initially turning down the role twice; Roberts helped persuade him over dinner. Their Walk of Fame ceremony is scheduled for 5 November, with fellow co-anchor Michael Strahan hosting. Stephanopoulos said he now starts work at about 3.30am, later than when he began, while Roberts recalled that the pair have never had an argument.
