T pregame show debuted 22 years ago. Since, it has thrived as the king of the Sunday morning pregame shows while the cast has grown into a family. Fox NFL Sunday averaged more viewers than any other NFL pregame morning show last year. And through marriages, child births, illnesses and life in general, Howie Long, Terry Bradshaw, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson, Jay Glazer and Curt Menefee have become more than just co-workers. In an ever-changing media landscape with more platforms than ever, the longevity and continuity of the group, which has worked together for 15-plus years, are abnormal.

The TV personality and former NFL player, alongside producing partner Constance Schwartz-Morini, will develop projects with the company.
Michael Strahan‘s Good Morning America gig will force him to step away from lucrative endorsement deals. ABC News bans its employees from pitching products, and the former NFL player is no exception, meaning he’ll have to walk away from deals with Subway, Pizza Hut, Metamucil, Snickers, Dr Pepper and Right Guard when the current contracts expire.
Strahan was initially supposed to work through the summer, but his departure was moved up. The former football star began on Live with Kelly & Michael in 2012, replacing Regis Philbin.
Kelly Ripa would like Anderson Cooper to replace Michael Strahan, but her bosses at ABC aren’t ready to go there yet. The two sides are jockeying for control over the successor to Strahan, the former NFL who is leaving Friday for a new role at Good Morning America.

News that Strahan would leave on May 13 came from a Live with Kelly & Michael spokesperson on Tuesday just hours after Ripa returned to the syndicated talk show after taking time off to “gather (her) thoughts” in response to learning last week that Strahan would be leaving for full-time duties on Good Morning America.
Kelly Ripa, star of ABC’s syndicated morning chat show Live with Kelly and Michael, is due to return to the program Tuesday after sitting out most of last week.

On Friday, staffers received an email from Ripa saying that she would come back to work on Tuesday. In the meantime, she got apologies from Strahan and ABC boss Ben Sherwood, among others, for how the GMA affair was handled and for not telling her sooner.
Kelly Ripa promises to be back to work on Tuesday. Ripa went MIA from Live with Kelly & Michael after learning last Tuesday that her co-host Michael Strahan would be leaving the show in September to join Good Morning America full time. “I wanted to thank you all for giving me the time to process this new information,” Ripa said in an email to Live staff late Friday.

Good Morning America, which now airs weekdays at 7-9 a.m., wants to add an hour to compete more effectively with its morning NBC rival. Today goes for four hours, 7-11 a.m., the final hour being Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb’s wine-filled, peppy chatfest. A source says the permanent addition of Live with Kelly and Michael co-host Michael Strahan to GMA is a minor move in the potentially seismic plan to reconfigure the network’s morning schedule. Sources say the long-term plan would involve moving back Kelly Ripa’s show to slot held by The View, which is losing Barbara Walters.
