Ginger Zee

It was announced yesterday that Good Morning America weatherman Sam Champion would be leaving the show to join The Weather Channel, and taking over his job as the weekday weather anchor would be GMA‘s current weekend weather anchor, meteorologist Ginger Zee. Unlike her predecessor Sam, who was famously photographed strolling the beach in a very revealing Speedo swimsuit earlier this year, Ginger is rarely (if ever) photographed in revealing attire such as swimsuits or bikinis. So, imagine my surprise when I ran across these sexy retro pin-up photos of Ginger Zee from back in 2010!!!

Good Morning America is losing the greatest name in weather as it was announced today that Sam Champion will be leaving the show after seven years to host a morning show and serve as managing editor for The Weather Channel. Filling Champion’s shoes will be another fun-monikored meteorologist as ABC announced Ginger Zee will be replacing SamCham as the GMA weekday weather anchor. Keep reading for the announcements from ABC and The Weather Channel as well as Sam and Ginger’s reactions.
