Sawyer to sit down with Gibson

It’s the “get” that everyone wanted, but in the end ABC’s Diane Sawyer secured the first sit-down interview with Mel Gibson since the actor made headlines in July for his drunk-driving arrest and subsequent anti-Semitic rant.

The two-part interview will air Oct. 12 and 13 on “Good Morning America.” The second-place morning show, which lost co-anchor Charles Gibson to ABC’s evening newscast earlier this year, continues to lag behind NBC’s “Today,” which had its own anchor change this fall when Meredith Vieira replaced Katie Couric.
