Michael Strahan | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Michael Strahan is opening up about his experience on Live!, years after he left the show to join the ranks of Good Morning America.

Page Six reports that the -year-old newscaster and former football player revealed during a town hall with ABC staffers and execs that he felt that he couldn’t speak up on that set.

“Michael said that there were some very tense situations with executives who got argumentative and loud on the show,” the paper writes. “He was very aware he couldn’t speak up or raise his voice as he was worried he would be seen as threatening.”

Michael left Live! in 2016 after co-hosting with Kelly Ripa for four years.

His exit was filled with controversy as it was reported that Kelly wasn’t informed of him leaving the show at all.

A few months on, Michael admitted that he didn’t miss co-hosting the series and just recently, talked about how he hasn’t spoken to Kelly in quite some time.

“I learned through all that went down with that, you can’t convince people to like you,” he said. “I haven’t spoken to her in a long time.”

“One thing I tried to do is have a meeting every few weeks with her. 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,” he said of their workplace interactions.

“Certain things that were going on behind the scenes just caught up,” he went on to say.

He also said he “remained the same person I was from day one,” and “when it was time to go, it was time to go,” but admitted his exit from the show “could have been handled better.”

“I didn’t wake up and say, ‘I want a job at GMA.’ I was asked to do it by the people who run the network. It was really not a choice. It was a request,” he explained.

“People who should have handled it better have all apologized, but a lot of the damage had already been done. For me, it was like: Move on. Success is the best thing. Just keep on moving,” he said.

“If people think, ‘Oh, he hates her’ — 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.”

Michael Strahan took a moment to remember Kobe Bryant while making a guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday night (January 27).

“Excellence,” the 48-year-old GMA host and former football player said of Bryant‘s enduring legacy. “Maximizing everything you do every day. Put your family first. Be a great father and a great husband before you worry about being great at anything else. And I think as great as he was as basketball, he realized that the other things (in his life) was as important for him, and he had all those things balanced.”

“Excellence is the word I think of when I think of Kobe,” Michael continued. “And commitment. And always maximizing everything in your life.”

While on the show, Michael Strahan also revealed that the Giants will retire his No. 92 jersey. “It’s going to be really emotional,” Strahan said of his upcoming jersey retirement ceremony.
