News Cut On GMA
Plans
to air an interview with "body paint artist" Filippo
Ioco and present some of his models
on Good Morning America were abruptly
canceled at the last moment last Wednesday following objections
by GMA co-host Charles Gibson,
the Washington Post reported today (Wednesday). The newspaper
said Gibson voiced concern about the segment at a meeting prior
to the show and that producer Shelly
Ross and co-anchor Diane
Sawyer concurred. Ross told the Post that she had agreed
to book Ioco on the show after she had
seen a segment of the syndicated Ripley's
Believe It or Not!, featuring Ioco
and his models, in which viewers said they could not tell that
the models were not wearing real bikinis. "But you know what?"
Ross told the Post, "You could tell the difference
a little bit." Ioco said that he was told about a half hour before airtime
that he and his models were off the show because "some senator
did something in Washington" that had to be covered instead.
