When Sam Champion signed off from Good Morning America it was a love fest.

Champion passed the torch (boots) to Ginger Zee and everyone toasted Sam for all his years at GMA.

It's not happening with Josh Elliott.

It has gotten so bitter so fast between Elliott and ABC.

How bad?

He most likely won't be back on "Good Morning America" to say goodbye to his colleagues or fans.

Sources say that ABC Boss Ben Sherwood feels as if Elliott stabbed him in the back and Sherwood is not happy with some of the things that Elliott and his agents have said about the network.

You can bet one thing, the happy, fun-filled loveliest that Sam Champion got when he left, isn't happening for Josh Elliott.

Or as one staffer at GMA was heard joking yesterday "Josh who?"
