The former NFL star hasn’t been in the studio or appeared in a broadcast since Friday, June 21. His absence was never mentioned by the other hosts.
Strahan also missed episodes in early June when his daughter, Isabella Strahan, had her final chemotherapy sessions. The time off then was to spend with is daughter. She received a brain tumor diagnosis in October 2023 and has undergone three craniotomies and four rounds of chemo.
Strahan was there when she finished the last round of chemo. He watched happily as she rang the bell three times to show she was leaving treatment. While Strahan hasn’t mentioned his absence from the show, it is possible he just wants to spend more time with his family, particularly Isabella. She plans to go back to college this fall at USC.

However, it sounds like he is tired of it. He said, “I like company, I like vacations. I’m at the point in life when I just want to enjoy it. I don’t want to work forever, I want to enjoy life at some point.”
With his daughter fighting cancer, it sounds like Strahan is starting to prioritize his life and goals. “I want a life where there’s some freedom at some point,” he said. “I’ll be off TV before a lot of people are sick of me being on TV.” It doesn’t sound like he plans to do it soon, but with his recent absence, he might be considering it more and more every day.
