Good Morning America lost Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan at the same time this week.

Hosts have been rotating in and out of the studio over the past few weeks. But Robin and Michael have perhaps spent the longest away from the studio out of all of their peers. Now, the show lost both of them on the same day. And fans are wondering what’s up. Read on to find out why Robin and Michael are out at GMA after so many absences.

Michael And Robin Missed A Lot Of Work Recently

Things are starting to get a little tense in the Good Morning America studio. Two of the show’s most popular hosts, Robin Roberts and Michael Strahan, have missed a lot of work over the past few weeks. And so far, fans have been kept in the dark.

Robin missed time earlier in the summer for a long-scheduled vacation. But after returning, she missed a few more days without any explanation. Michael, on the other hand, was not scheduled for a long vacation. Or at least, he gave fans no indication that he was planning on one. But Michael has been absent from the studio since July 20.

That has led to ample speculation online that the host is going to be moving on from the show soon. He already hosts $100,000 Pyramid. And runs a successful style brand. So it’s not like he would be out of work if he moves on from GMA.

But GMA certainly can’t afford to lose both Michael Strahan and Robin Roberts. They got another glimpse of what that would look like this week when the pair were absent together again.

On Friday, George Stephanopoulos offered no explanation and simply told viewers he was going to get “right to the news.” Deborah Roberts and Rebecca Jarvis filled in for Michael and Robin. However, they didn’t provide any explanation either. And on social media, neither Robin nor Michael gave any indication as to why they were gone.

This time of year, it’s not uncommon for hosts to take time off to enjoy the summer with their families. Robin certainly did so earlier this summer, taking time to spend with her fiance. But Michael’s extended absence, with no explanation, has fans of the former NFL star a little worried. Is he done with the show and ready to move on? It’s hard to say, and his co-hosts aren’t giving any hint of what’s to come for the show.

Do you hope that Michael Strahan stays away, or are you crossing your fingers for a return for him and Robin Roberts? Who would you like to see take his seat if he decides to leave GMA? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. And catch Good Morning America on ABC on weekday mornings from 7 AM to 9 AM EST.

  1. Good Morning America does NOT want to have Michael Strahan and Robin Roberts leave the show. They bring the warmth and polish to GMA. Give them a raise, or whatever it takes to keep them!

  2. I haven’t been a fan of Michael ever since he ditched Kelly and used her as a stepping stone to build his “brand” and weasel his way onto GMA. The sooner he’s gone for good the better. I’d love to see Dan Harris, Sam Champion, TJ Holmes, or Josh Elliot return. David Muir is another good choice.

    As for Robin, she’s a fixture at ABC who is simply irreplaceable.

  3. They show bring Amy Robach back after all they put Michael Strahan in her seat and for Robin can stay or go she can be replaced also.

  4. Will Reeves is a good option to replace Michael Strahan. I stopped watching the show every day since he joined GMA. He gives the air of being better than everyone else.

  5. I don’t care for either one. I love the ones that fill in for them and the weekend crew. George looks like he would rather be somewhere else or he is bored.

  6. GMA would not be the same without Robin and Michael. I watch GMA only because of them and of course George. Please don’t leave Robin and Michael. Wishing you the best what ever happens.

  7. Robin has been the heart of the show and I hope she stays. Michael is clunky, not warm or charming and looks like he reads questions in an interview. He looks like an opportunist the way he left ‘Live’ for GMA. I would not miss him.

  8. Get rid of them both. Who needs them? I haven’t been a fan of Michael ever since he ditched Kelly and used her as a stepping stone to build his way onto GMA. The sooner he’s gone for good, the better. I’d love to see Dan Harris, Sam Champion, TJ Holmes, or Josh Elliot return. David Muir is another good choice.

  9. Robin Roberts is the most racist person besides Woopi that is on TV today.
    TV has become predominantly Black in the last 18 to 20 years, thank God for streaming.

  10. Robin Roberts is the reason I watch the show, please bring her back or I will stop watching ABC. She has a magic voice. Replace Michael and bring Robin back.

  11. You can do what you want, but I will not watch the show if they are not there, I love them both.
