Elliot made a special appearance on The View in 2014, revealing that his father had unveiled his true sexual orientation to Josh he was only thirteen years old. Josh’s father revealed that he was gay, and eventually passed away when Elliot was only fifteen years old. The loss of a very important father figure was especially traumatizing to Josh. Considering the extenuating circumstances of his life, Elliot achieved a remarkable degree of success. Even without the continual support and guidance of a father figure Elliot was able to pursue an elite education and make himself a well known presence in the media world.
Josh is also infamous for having issues with women, including Lara Spencer. Josh has clashed with Spencer on trivial issues and they did not have an amicable relationship off-air. It is also said that he engaged in confrontations with every woman he worked with except for Robin Roberts, for whom he had high respect. When Josh Elliot departed from the show, he left a very interesting memo for others to see; the tone of which was extremely passive aggressive. Elliot revealed that he would be going back into sports coverage and stated that Good Morning America could no longer meet his expectations. Based on this memo, many assumed that Josh was somewhat bitter about his departure from the show. It appears that he did not feel as though he was given all the opportunities that he anticipated. However, many others feel that his departure stemmed from the numerous confrontations that he had with the people he worked with while he was on the set.
Although some of his colleagues have described him as extremely high maintenance and characterize him as a person who is troubled in his interpersonal relationships, Josh maintains that he exited the show because his salary negotiations did not go as planned. He petitioned for a higher salary, but the network was unable to accommodate him.
He married Priya Narang from Westport, Connecticut, and they have a daughter, Sabrina Elliott. The couple later divorced. Josh apparently has come to the conclusion that he is a sex addict, and was caught sleeping with ESPN interns just after his honeymoon. At present, he has been allegedly seen with girlfriend, Liz Cho, who is an anchor at WABC-TV. Some reports have even linked him to one of the Real Housewives of New York, stating that he was spotted at dinner with her. However, he dismissed these rumors, noting that this was a one-time occasion and that they were not romantically linked in any capacity. Some reports attributed his divorce to Liz Cho. However, he confirmed that by the time these two had begun dating, he had already been separated from his wife for several months. In spite of his tarnished reputation, Elliot is able to project the facade of a dynamic and effervescent individual. While rumors of a possible engagement were floating around for quite a while, on the 30th of September, 2014, Josh announced his engagement to Liz Cho. This will be the second marriage for both Josh and Liz. Liz was previously married to Evan Gottlieb and has a daughter from her previous marriage.
Accolades
Although his professional personal life has been modestly sprinkled with some conflict, Elliot has earned his share of professional accolades. In spite of his conflicts on and off the set, he has been able to distinguish himself in the media realm and put together a noteworthy career.
Elliott was honored with a local Emmy Award in the year 2005 in New York City for his contribution to Angles of the Madison Square Garden Network. He has also appeared as co-host for Westwood One Sports’ Super Bowl XL.
