Did the former NFL legend Michael Strahan leave ABC's show Good Morning America?

NFL legend Michael Strahan loves to surprise his fans by going on and off air on ABC's Good Morning America show. Strahan has been co-hosting the show since 2016 alongside Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos.

Before his full-time gig at GMA, Strahan was a co-host on Live! with Kelly and Michael, who had a successful 4-year run.

Strahan, in recent years, has missed some GMA shows that have always made his fans curious about what he will do next. Once again, the former defensive end is missing from the show, and this raises the question of whether he has left the broadcast.

Fans took to social media to raise questions about his absence, but there has been no concrete proof of the reason behind him missing on air.

Apart from co-hosting GMA, Strahan also hosts $100,000 Pyramid on ABC, which is produced by SMAC Productions and Sony Pictures. During the NFL season, he took up a job as an analyst on Fox NFL Sunday.

Strahan also hosts the Thursday Night Football pre-game show live from New York City alongside fellow Pro Football Hall of Famers Tony Gonzalez, Terry Bradshaw, and Howie Long.

#GMA was my go to morning show, I don't care for most of people filling in. I had to turn it off! News seems to be one sided by some of cast, some come across crabby too. I trust Robin, George, and Michael. Figure it out #goodmorningamerica

Michael Strahan is also a father of four kids from his two ex-wives. Strahan has a lot on his plate and the 50-year-old legend manages everything quite well. However, there is no news on when we will see him back on the show. Till that time, Gio Benitez will take his place on the screen.

This is not the first time Strahan has been on leave from the show. He had disappeared from the program earlier also but, despite the fans believing that he had left the show, the former NFL star came back on July 19. He also missed a show in March, for which no one knows the real reason.

Well, why do we care so much? It is pretty normal to have days off from work. Isn't it?
