Michael Anthony Strahan is an American television host, journalist, and former professional football player. He played his entire 15-year professional career as a defensive end for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). A dominant pass rusher, Strahan set the record for most NFL single-season quarterback sacks (which was matched by T. J. Watt in 2021) and helped the Giants win Super Bowl XLII over the New England Patriots in his final season in 2007.
Since retiring from the NFL, he has become a media personality. He appears as a football analyst on Fox NFL Sunday, and served as a co-host of ABC's Good Morning America as well as Live! with Kelly and Michael with Kelly Ripa from 2012 to 2016, for which he won two Daytime Emmy Awards. He has also made guest appearances on game shows and other programs. In 2014, he became a regular contributor on Good Morning America, and in 2016 the network announced that Strahan would be leaving Live! to join GMA full-time. He also hosts the current incarnation of the Pyramid game show for ABC.
Strahan was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014. In 2021, he flew into space on Blue Origin NS-19's suborbital space flight. Many consider the gap between his two middle-upper front teeth as his “signature” feature.
