Dan Abrams is CEO of Abrams Research, legal analyst for ABC News and a substitute anchor for Good Morning America. Prior to his appointment at ABC, Abrams was the chief legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC from 2008 through 2010. From June 2006 to October 2007, Abrams served as general manager of MSNBC, during which time ratings grew by 62% and where he branded the network “The Place for Politics.” Prior to his management appointment, Abrams hosted The Abrams Report, a nightly legal affairs program, and later hosted Verdict with Dan Abrams.
In November 2008, Abrams gave up his full time anchor role to create Abrams Research, a social media strategy firm.
