Michael Strahan has addressed the rumors that he’s joining ABC’s Good Morning America on his show Live! With Kelly and Michael on Wednesday morning.
Following reports he would be joining the show but still keeping his job on Live!, Strahan said he was “surprised” to see premature reports on it. He said his show was his “No. 1 priority” no matter what happens.
"The big news (is) that I'm going to be on GMA now,” he said. “But it's somewhat surprising. We had a meeting and talked about the possibility of doing something there."
When Kelly Ripa asked him directly if he would be accepting their offer, the former NFL star said "I don't know. This is what I do. This is me. This is my home. No matter what. I go nowhere. This is my love. You are my love. This ismy job. So don't worry, anybody, I'm not going anywhere,”USA Today reports.
The original rumors had stated he wouldn’t be joining the show on a full-time capacity and he would definitely not be appearing on the morning show five days a week, which seems to be accurate.
“It's one of those things. I'd have to be smart about it. I don't know if I could do it as an everyday thing. I'm already busy enough,” he said.
