Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos Are Getting Side-by-Side Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Key Facts: Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos will receive adjoining stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. PT. The joint ceremony takes place at 6920 Hollywood Boulevard. Fellow Good Morning America co-anchor Michael Strahan will host it, with guest speakers Michael J. Fox and Niecy Nash-Betts. Fans can watch live on the Walk of Fame website.

The Robin Roberts George Stephanopoulos Walk of Fame honor is a rare double celebration. After sharing the Good Morning America desk for 17 years, the two anchors will now share a permanent place on Hollywood Boulevard as well. Their stars will be the 2,862nd and 2,863rd on the Walk, and both will sit in the Television category.

The pair were named to the Walk of Fame’s Class of 2026 in July 2025. Since then, fans have waited for a date. Now the wait is over. The ceremony also lands just after another milestone for the show. Good Morning America first aired on November 3, 1975, and it marked its 50th anniversary last November.

When is the Robin Roberts George Stephanopoulos Walk of Fame ceremony?

The ceremony takes place on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. PT. It will be held at 6920 Hollywood Boulevard, on the south side of the street near the El Capitan Theatre. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce runs the Walk of Fame. It will stream the event live on its official website, so fans at home can watch every speech as it happens.

Why a double ceremony is so rare

Double ceremonies are unusual on the Walk of Fame. In fact, this one is the only double unveiling in the entire 2026 class. Stars usually celebrate one person at a time. Here, however, the Chamber is honoring a partnership as much as two careers. Roberts and Stephanopoulos are the longest-running anchor duo in morning television. They have led the show together since December 2009.

The choice of host adds another layer to the story. Michael Strahan received his own Walk of Fame star in 2023, in the Sports Entertainment category. Now he gets to welcome his own co-anchors to the same sidewalk. The GMA team already celebrated the news on air during the October 28 episode. Meanwhile, guest speakers Michael J. Fox and Niecy Nash-Betts are Walk of Famers themselves. As a result, the stage will be full of people who know exactly what the moment means.

Michael Strahan hosts his own co-anchors’ big day

Strahan’s role as emcee is a fitting full-circle moment. He joined Good Morning America full time in 2016. Before that, he built a Hall of Fame football career with the New York Giants and spent years on Fox NFL Sunday. Now he anchors the show alongside Roberts and Stephanopoulos every weekday morning. So the ceremony should feel less like a formal event and more like a family celebration. Fans who watch GMA each morning already know the trio’s easy chemistry.

How Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos built a 17-year partnership

Roberts and Stephanopoulos took very different paths to the same desk. Roberts joined Good Morning America as a feature reporter in June 1995. Before that, she spent 15 years at ESPN, where she became the first woman to co-host NFL Primetime. She became a full-time co-anchor in 2005. Stephanopoulos, on the other hand, joined ABC News in 1997 as an analyst for This Week. He had served as a senior adviser in the Clinton White House. Then he moved to the GMA anchor chair in December 2009. From that day on, the two have opened America’s mornings together.

Beyond the morning show, both anchors have built wide-ranging careers. Roberts runs her own production company, Rock’n Robin Productions, and she has written three bestselling books. Stephanopoulos also hosts ABC’s Sunday program This Week and has written two bestselling books of his own. In addition, Roberts has collected top honors in broadcasting, including a Peabody Award and the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. So a Walk of Fame star is not a first honor for either anchor. It is simply the latest chapter in two long careers.

What happens next for the GMA anchors’ Walk of Fame stars?

First, the ceremony itself will draw the crowds on Thursday morning. Fans in Los Angeles can attend in person on Hollywood Boulevard. Everyone else can watch the live stream. Then, on Friday, November 6, Good Morning America will welcome the pair back with a homecoming segment. That gives viewers a second chance to celebrate, this time from the familiar Times Square studio.

The stars will also join a famous class.

The 2026 Walk of Fame class

The Walk of Fame’s 2026 class includes 35 entertainment figures in all. Its television honorees include Greg Daniels, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Gordon Ramsay, Noah Wyle, Bradley Whitford, Lucero, and Melody Thomas Scott. Awards season keeps giving fans these shared moments, from red carpet arrivals to trophy wins.

Above all, the ceremony is a reminder of why morning television still matters. Viewers invite Roberts and Stephanopoulos into their homes every day. Many have done so for years. A star on Hollywood Boulevard turns that daily habit into something permanent. So when the cameras roll on Thursday, it will not just be two stars being unveiled. It will be a thank-you to two anchors who have shown up, side by side, for nearly two decades.
