The celebrations are still ongoing for Deborah Roberts, whose new role as David Muir's co-host on ABC's 20/20 was finally officialized earlier this week.
The veteran ABC journalist has often reported by the World New Tonight anchor's side ever since his former co-host Amy Robach was asked to leave the post in January, following the headline-making revelation of her affair with her Good Morning America colleague T.J. Holmes.
Deborah's new gig has been a long time coming, and she along with David, her husband Al Roker plus some more ABC familiar faces have been celebrating as such.
Deborah took to Instagram towards the end of the week to once again commemorate her exciting new role, sharing a glimpse of the very well-deserved festivities in her honor over at ABC studios.
She first shared a sweet snap where 20/20's brand new imagery with her and David stands tall behind her, as the latter appears to be toasting to her in a speech, and the two have a massive table lined with cupcakes in front of them.
The news anchor also shared photos alongside more of her ABC crew, including Kimberly Godwin, who has been president of the network's news division since 2021.
