Stephanie Edwards

Stephanie Edwards is an American television personality and actress.

Career Edwards began her career as an actress, and became widely known as an on-air personality in the 1970s. She co-hosted ABC-TV's AM America, the forerunner to Good Morning America, jointly with Bill Beutel, continuing with GMA as a frequent substitute for Joan Lunden. Previously, she had hosted a similar West Coast news and talk program in Southern California, AM Los Angeles along with Ralph Story.

Edwards was nominated in 1979 for a Daytime Emmy Award as Outstanding Host or Hostess in a Talk, Service or Variety Series, for her show Everyday.

Tournament of Roses parade From 1978 to 2005, Edwards served in the main broadcast booth with former game show host Bob Eubanks as co-host of the Tournament of Roses Parade on Los Angeles television station KTLA Channel 5, then broadcast widely throughout the United States and Canada as a cable and satellite superstation. After 28 continuous years in the position, Edwards was then replaced as Eubanks' main booth co-host by KTLA morning news co-anchor Michaela Pereira, with Edwards herself being reassigned as an on-the-street reporter, sometimes having to stand in the rain while giving periodic live updates. Although all three were equally billed as co-hosts, the move created a storm of controversy and was seen as insensitive by many of Edwards' fans, as well as by local TV critics. Finally, in 2009, Edwards rejoined Eubanks as the main co-host of KTLA's Tournament of Roses Parade coverage, remaining continuously in the position again until 2016, following a September 25, 2015 announcement by Eubanks that the 2016 parade would be their last.

Edwards was also the longtime commercial spokesperson for the California-based supermarket chain Lucky Stores from the mid-1980s until they merged with Albertsons (1998).
