Historically, Michael Strahan never remains in one place for lengthy. The former NFL player famously left his high-rated gig on Live! with Kelly and Michael to work at Good Morning America full-time in 2016.

Why is Michael Strahan not on 'GMA'?

Michael's most up-to-date absence from GMA (his closing look was once Oct. 26, 2023) — in addition to his recent absence from his football commentating gig on Fox NFL Sunday (he last seemed on Oct. 22, 2023) — had been because of a kin issue.

“Michael Strahan will not be with us this week as he is coping with some personal kin matters,” an ABC spokesperson advised the Los Angeles Times in its Nov. 6, 2023 report. “We respect everyone’s ideas and considerations.”

And throughout the Nov. 5, 2023 broadcast of Fox NFL Sunday, commentator Curt Menefee told the audience that Michael was “coping with a personal kin topic."

In the past, Michael's absences have been typically explained by his many other projects, both on television and beyond. Indeed, Michael not only works on GMA and Fox NFL Sunday (which film on opposite coasts), but he also hosts $The 100,000 Pyramid. The busy multihyphenate has own skincare line as well, in addition to a well-known apparel line. And in late 2022, he produced a podcast narrated by actress Kate Mara called American Football.

Did Michael Strahan leave 'GMA'?

It seems very unlikely he is leaving GMA permanently. Michael has a lot of irons in the fire, from his production company (SMAC Entertainment) to his duties as an NFL announcer, but he seems to be a cracker jack at time management.

"People say, 'When do you sleep? Why do you work so much? You do Fox. You do GMA. You do The $100,000 Pyramid.' I love it although," he told People back when his skincare line launched. "And I'm now at the level of where I do not need to do anything I do not revel in. And if it will get to the point where I don't, then it will be time to let that [thing] move. For now, every little bit of it is amusing."

We no doubt hope that every one is well for Michael and his kinfolk, and that he returns to our monitors quickly!
