By Chris Ariens 

TVWeek’s Michele Greppi talks with Good Morning America EP Jim Murphy about the ABC program’s back-to-back Emmy wins for best morning show.

TVWeek: For how long does life feel infinitely better when you’ve won an Emmy? Is it like coming back from the world’s best vacation and the positive effects being worn off by the end of the first day back at work?

Mr. Murphy: I’d say 10 to 15 minutes.

TVWeek: How good does it feel for 10 to 15 minutes?

Mr. Murphy: It feels very good. It was really completely unexpected. I knew we’d entered a good program, but I sort of figured that since we’d won last year, it couldn’t happen again.

Murphy adds that he didn’t attend the ceremony. He opted for his kids’ piano recital instead.
