David Muir was out pitching his work for all to see at the latest Disney Advertising Upfront, held in New York City on Tuesday, May 13.
The TV personality, 51, has hosted the primetime news show World News Tonight with David Muir since 2014, and presented the show's stellar numbers at the Upfront along with other ABC News properties.
He was also joined by his friend and colleague Robin Roberts, who presented some of the specials from the news team, including its morning news show Good Morning America, which she co-hosts with Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos.

The anchor, with his coiffed 'do in tow, also took to his Instagram Stories soon after to share some images from the Upfront, including one posing beside an unlikely set of stars — characters from Star Wars.
David in his sleek suit was photographed next to character actors dressed as two Storm Troopers plus Darth Vader, the perfect contrasting quartet.

It's been a busy few weeks so far for David, who recently returned from a trip to Rome to cover the funeral of Pope Francis, plus the papal conclave that resulted in the historic election of Robert Prevost aka Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope.
Prior to that, he made a red carpet appearance in New York City at the TIME100 Gala, celebrating his being named to this year's list. He was joined by his predecessor on World News Tonight, Diane Sawyer, who penned his tribute.

"David Muir anchors the nation's most-watched television news program, ABC World News Tonight," Diane continued. "Every night more than 8 million Americans trust him to make sense of the day."

"Iraq's hunt for ISIS. Hurricanes, fires. He traveled days to hold the hands of starving children in Madagascar and South Sudan, leading to millions of dollars in donations to the World Food Programme."
"I am lucky that my successor is also the irreverent friend I want to hang out with when the camera shuts down. Though I am also miffed that he's the guy who can leap two flights of stairs, vault into the anchor chair, and never lose focus — or his breath."
