Elliott found himself in the spotlight when he suddenly announced in March that he was leaving ABC's GMA to join NBC Sports. The former ESPN anchor later explained his decision to The Hollywood Reporter, reasoning: "The offer to stay at ABC was terrific, but in the end, for me personally, I grew up a sports fan, it is in my DNA."
