SHOCK: Famous host David Muir suddenly "disappears" from ABC. Fans are frantically searching for his whereabouts.
A shocking President Donald Trump breaking news update wasn't the only thing leaving ABC World News Tonight fans concerned.
Before the leading ABC News show went on the air on Wednesday, April 1, it was revealed that the 52-year-old host would not be fronting the program as planned. The show was also supposed to begin at its usual time slot on the network at 6.30 p.m. ET, but ABC chose to air NASA's launch of Artemis II from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida instead.
ABC continued its coverage of the launch for another 30 minutes, the length of David's nightly news program, then at 7 p.m. ET sharp, it ended its coverage and cut to Jeopardy!. It comes after fuming Muir fans admitted they 'can't believe a word' as he made an unexpected ABC exit.
The TV schedule was thrown off again, as at 7 p.m. ABC World News Tonight returned to the air, with Linsey Davis stepping in for the fan favorite anchor. While it's not clear where David was, the show carried on as normal with a breaking news announcement on President Trump. Linsey announced, "This tonight, President Trump's first address to the nation since the start of the war with Iran."
"In the five weeks since the President has offered conflicting signals on the reasons and goals of the conflict, while here at home, polling shows Americans are eager for this war to end. ABC News Chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce reports from the White House tonight," Linsey concluded, passing over to her colleague who was reporting live from the action itself.
Mary then told viewers, "Five weeks after launching this war with Iran, President Trump for the first time addressing the nation in prime time."
"Our armed forces have been extraordinary. There's never been anything like it. Militarily, everyone is talking about it, and tonight, I'm pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion," Trump was seen boasting in a clip that played.
The ABC reporter then continued, "But it's not clear what conditions need to be met for the President to end this conflict. And while he's vowing this will be over soon, today, he said in an interview quote, 'We'll come back to do spot hits on Iranian targets as needed.'

"According to the president, Iran is asking for a cease fire, but Trump says the US will only consider it when the Hormuz Strait is open, 'free and clear,' saying, until then, 'We are blasting Iran into oblivion, or, as they say, back to the stone ages.'
"But Moments later, Iran said they haven't asked for any ceasefire. One top official warning the US, the Strait of Hormuz 'will certainly reopen, but not for you.'
"The president has argued it's up to other countries to reopen the strait, but Iran's chokehold on the critical waterway has sent gas prices in the US skyrocketing to over $4 a gallon.
"Trump insists those prices will come down quickly once the operation ends. Tonight's address comes after weeks of mixed messages and head-spinning threats from the president, and his polling shows Americans are eager for this war to end. 60% of Americans disapprove of the military operation and two-thirds say the US should work to end this conflict quickly. But the president insists his operation is succeeding."
Mary concluded her segment by reminding viewers of the latest, including the 79-year-old leader's constant U-turns and his claim the US had achieved his goal of preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
The segment was shared on ABC World News Tonight's Instagram account, where viewers were quick to weigh in. One user blasted, "Can’t believe a word this dude says.”
"It was a joke. He addressed NOTHING," a second called out, referring to Trump's address, prompting a third to chime in, "Did he ramble about nothing and blame peeps no longer in office as usual?"
Someone else commented, "So many words and none of it really helped," as a fifth argued, "Not mixed messages, lies on top of lies." Meanwhile, a sixth begged, "Please stop reporting on this guy. Just ignore him like he deserves."
It comes after Muir viewers begged 'lord have mercy on us all' after a shocking update.
