Fans are speculating that Michael Strahan might be leaving Good Morning America soon. The former football defensive end has been hosting the program for years, keeping viewers entertained with his engaging commentary. However, many now believe that he may step away from the show.
Here is everything you need to know about the speculation regarding Strahan’s exit from the morning news program.
Could Michael Strahan be leaving GMA for good?
No, Michael Strahan won’t be leaving GMA anytime soon.
Speculation about Strahan’s departure has been ongoing for a long time. An insider told News Nation Now that the host “had enough” and would exit GMA this summer. Another source stated that he has been struggling with his workload and wishes “to spend more time with his family.”
Additionally, Strahan’s daughter’s health issues were cited as a possible reason for his potential exit from GMA. Strahan himself revealed that he wouldn’t leave everything suddenly but would be “slowly dropping different things.” Accordingly, many fans believed Strahan would not renew his contract with ABC this year to focus on his personal life.
While speculation has been ongoing, Strahan is seemingly not exiting GMA anytime soon. However, he has landed a new opportunity on the popular reality show Shark Tank. The 53-year-old will be joining the series as a guest shark. Shark Tank’s Instagram page confirmed the news last week. They wrote in a joint post with Strahan, “This multi-hyphenate is ready to take a seat as a Guest Shark! Don’t miss @michaelstrahan on this season of #SharkTank.”
Strahan also expressed gratitude towards the show on GMA. He hilariously stated, “The shark teeth with a gap.” He further added, “I gotta say, it’s a lot of fun. I was really nervous, but once you get there, they’re amazing and they make you feel great. They really show you the ropes. I had a great time, and you’ll have to watch to see.”
Shark Tank’s new season will premiere this fall. Meanwhile, fans can continue to watch Michael Strahan on Good Morning America, airing on ABC.
