During her time as co-anchor, the broadcast has earned numerous Emmy® Awards for Outstanding Morning Program and the 2017 People’s Choice Award for Favorite Daytime TV Hosting Team. A trusted journalist, cultural icon and Disney legend, Roberts has spent more than 30 years covering many of the most significant and defining moments in history, delivering in-depth interviews and reporting from across the globe.

Throughout her career, Roberts has conducted exclusive, newsmaking conversations with world leaders, public figures and everyday heroes, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and first lady Olena Zelenska, Brittney Griner, Salt-N-Pepa, Randy Moss, Lionel Richie, Elton John, Regina King and Caitlin Clark. Her thoughtful approach and authenticity continue to shape “GMA”’s signature storytelling.

She also covered some of the most consequential events of our time, including Queen Elizabeth’s funeral from London, the Southern California wildfires from Los Angeles, the tornadoes across the southeast from Rolling Fork, Mississippi, as well as Asheville, North Carolina, after Hurricane Helene and more. In 2005, Roberts’ powerful on-the-ground reporting from the Mississippi Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina reverberated nationwide. In a poignant moment just before a live report for “GMA” from Gulfport, she learned her own family was safe. An emotional Roberts told Charles Gibson on-air, “They’re okay.”

Through her ABC News Studios Emmy Award-winning Rock’n Robin Productions units, Roberts has expanded her storytelling reach as an award-winning producer and host. Her recent projects include hosting the 2025 true crime series “Murder Has Two Faces” from Academy Award®-nominated director Lisa Cortés and sitting down with former first lady Michelle Obama for a candid and intimate conversation in “Michelle Obama: The Style, The Power, The Look – A Conversation with Robin Roberts – Special Edition of 20/20.” She also produced “Lainey Wilson: Bell Bottom Country,” executive-produced the five-part Disney+ docuseries “Harlem Ice” and the Lifetime biopic “Robin Roberts Presents: I Will Survive: The Gloria Gaynor Story,” and joined as executive producer of the New Orleans-based documentary “A King Like Me.” Rock’n Robin Productions is behind the Emmy Award-winning Disney+ series “Turning the Tables with Robin Roberts” and has produced a number of specials, including “Hurricane Katrina: 20 Years After the Storm with Robin Roberts,” as well as the upcoming biopic and documentary on legendary singer Roberta Flack. A proud alumna of Southeastern Louisiana University, Roberts graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in communications and was a standout performer on the women’s basketball team, finishing her career as one of the school’s all-time leading scorers and rebounders.
