Christiane Amanpour Gets Heave-Ho at ABC -- Replaced by George Stephanopoulos

Christiane Amanpour has gotten the boot from ABC, TMZ has learned. She will be replaced as the host of the Sunday political show, "This Week," by George Stephanopoulos.

A well-placed source tells TMZ Christiane is going back to CNN as an international correspondent.

George will be doing double duty on "This Week" as well as "Good Morning America."

Here's what's interesting. TMZ posted a story in September, saying there was talk at ABC about replacing George on GMA with the newsreader, Josh Elliot. We said back then that the plan was for George to go back to "This Week" and that Josh would get the GMA anchor seat within a year.
