Michael Strahan Joins ‘Good Morning America’ Full-Time

Michael Is Now Full Time...

NEW YORK- Former NFL star Michael Strahan is leaving the daily talk show he co-hosts with Kelly Ripa to work full time on "Good Morning America. The former New York Giants star was selected in 2012 to replace Regis Philbin as Ripa's co-host on the talk show. Strahan has worked a couple of days a week at "GMA" for the past two years, but he always has to leave midway through to head to the "Live with Kelly and Michael" studio on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

Over the past two years on GMA, Michael’s proven to be a tireless and versatile broadcaster with an incredible ability to connect with people, from veterans and all kinds of newsmakers to a host of modern American cultural icons,” said ABC News president James Goldston in a statement. “He is a great modern thinker and leader, and with our brilliant team in front of and behind the cameras, he will help us drive forward into a very exciting future.”

Strahan will become a co-anchor on GMA in September.

Congrats Michael!
