When Good Morning America Anchor Josh Elliott packed up his ego and headed to NBC Sports, some wondered what kind of impact it would have in GMA's ratings?

The first week without Elliott is in the books and his leaving did cause a change in the ratings.

They went up.

Good Morning America drew more viewers for the week of March 31 right after Elliott left, than it did in the three weeks prior to that.

The show is also up year to year and continues to top the Today Show in the ratings.

So NBC has stolen both Elliott and Sam Champion from GMA and their ratings continue to go up.

As they say, sometimes karma is a bitch.
