In an interview with David Marchese in theHis leaving the show was quick and caused a mini-crisis with Ripa., who took an unannounced week off following the announcement. He officially departed the show May 13, three months earlier than originally planned.
Strahan likened his TV career to his time in the National footballLeague with the New York Giants, where he starred and has had his number unofficially retired. While acknowledging the physical demands of football, he noted, “But the mental aspect of working in TV is like it was in football. I don’t want to be on the show and feel like everyone else is carrying me. I want us all to be successful.
Strahan seemed to indicate that any problems that stemmed from that situation were not his fault. “Well, I remained the same person I was from Day 1. One thing I will not do is alter my attitude for somebody else’s. I learned so much from Kelly, so much from Michael Gelman. When it was time to go, it was time to go. Certain things that were going on behind the scenes just caught up.”“I didn’t wake up and say, ‘I want a job at ‘G.M.A.’” I was asked to do it by the people who run the network.
The behind-the-scenes problems Strahan alluded to included being turned down for his desire to have a meeting with Ripa every few weeks. “We met a few times, and that was fine. But then eventually she said she didn’t need to meet. Can’t force somebody to do something they don’t want to do.” Strahan claimed, “I don’t hate her. I do respect her for what she can do at her job. I cannot say enough about how good she is at her job.”
He should have known better than to think that. Hot White girl with a Black guy that looks like Mike Tyson's brother? Really? Come on Mikey.
