12 gross things about the Rielle Hunter interview on '20/20'

Here are 12 gross things about tonight's Rielle Hunter interview about her relationship with John Edwards (apart from the fact that it happened). Hunter was interviewed for ABC's "20/20" by Chris Cuomo. Some of it's new, some of it's not. All of it is gross.

-The sex tape was made on a "poverty trip" to Uganda.

-The way Hunter would take swipes at Elizabeth Edwards and follow with "And I'm not saying that to bash Elizabeth" or "I'm not trying to be mean about Elizabeth."

-That Hunter excused all of Edwards' bad behavior by blaming his actions on Elizabeth.

-That Hunter called his campaign after Elizabeth's second diagnosis, "The Cancer Has Returned Campaign Tour."

Check out today's special holiday programming in our What to Watch, Santa Edition.

Diane Sawyer and Chris Cuomo both leave GMA on Friday

Tomorrow will be the last early morning for "Good Morning America" teammates Diane Sawyer and Chris Cuomo.

Sawyer, of course, is leaving the morning program to anchor "ABC Nightly News" with the departure of Charles Gibson. Cuomo was a top contender to take over Diane's co-anchor spot on GMA, but instead ABC gave the job to George Stephanopoulos. So Cuomo is leaving GMA to co-host "20/20" with Elizabath Vargas. JuJu Chang is taking Cuomo's place on GMA.

Got all that?

It's a shame to break up what was left of the Diane-Robin-Chris-Sam team, because they had great chemistry together. (Stephanopoulos is a snooze in our opinion, but we'll keep an open mind till we see him in action at 7am). Stephanopoulos begins work Monday morning, and Sawyer takes over as ABC's top anchor on December 21.

So don't forget to tune in tomorrow if you're a fan of the old GMA gang, so that you can properly say goodbye. I still love Robin Roberts and Sam Champion, but the likelihood that I'll switch back and forth to "Today" a little more often while getting reading in the mornings just increased substantially!
