Although Elliott made a significant mark on Good Morning America, he left the program in 2014 to return to sports broadcasting. Upon his departure, he issued a memo stating that the morning show environment no longer met his professional expectations. Some speculated that interpersonal conflicts with colleagues, including occasional tension with Lara Spencer, influenced his decision to leave. However, Elliott has stated that contract negotiations—particularly around salary—played a central role in his exit.
