CNN) — There was more laughter than tears on Friday as “Good Morning America” bid farewell to the anchor who has helmed the morning news show’s desk for the past ten years.

Within the span of that decade, Diane Sawyer covered Hurricane Katrina, Mideast disruptions and interviewed Washington political figures including first lady Nancy Reagan and President George H.W. Bush.

Sawyer is leaving “Good Morning America” to anchor “World News Tonight” beginning December 21. Charles Gibson retired from the position.

As the “Golden Girls” theme song “Thank You For Being A Friend” played in the background, the entire “GMA” crew replaced the audience. Many teared up as Sawyer reminisced with the other members of the “GMA” team, Robin Roberts, Sam Champion and Chris Cuomo, who also is leaving the morning show to anchor ABC’s “20/20.”
