Real Reason Michael Was Absent

Given his role as a football analyst on Sundays, where filming takes place in California, he is commonly not present on the morning show on Mondays. This scheduling discrepancy is due to the geographical separation between Fox’s activities in California and Good Morning America’s location in New York City. In his time away, Linsey Davis, Rebecca Jarvis, and Juju Chang took on his role. Fans expressed concern when Michael didn’t resume his role on GMA on Tuesday following his return to NFL Sunday. Eva Pilgrim stepped into his position at the desk, joining Rebecca, 42, and the regular host, George Stephanopoulos. Following Michael’s two-week absence, a representative from ABC disclosed the true reason behind his time away. They told The U.S. Sun:

“Michael Strahan will not be with us this week as he is dealing with some personal family matters. We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and concerns.”

The return of Strahan instills confidence and revives his captivating presence on Good Morning America and Fox NFL Sundays. Fans eagerly await Michael Strahan’s return to television. The former professional football player has been a full-time staple of the ABC morning news show since 2016 after he left Live with Kelly and Michael.
