Michael Strahan has carved out his place in daytime television since retiring from football. The popular co-host of ABCโ€™s Live With Kelly and Michael will be heading to Good Morning America full time in September, according to Variety. But it wonโ€™t be Strahanโ€™s first time at the GMA rodeo: For the last two years heโ€™s been making two appearances a week on the daytime news program.ย

โ€œMichael has been a stellar addition toย the broadcast. Over the past twoย years on GMA, heโ€™s proven to be a tireless and versatile broadcaster with an incredible ability to connect with people, from veterans to American pop-culture icons and newsmakers,โ€ said James Goldston, president of ABC News. โ€œHe will end a four-year run as Kelly Ripaโ€™s co-host on Live, where he has honed his skills as an interviewer with genuine warmth and a quick wit. At GMA, heโ€™ll now have even more opportunities to tell stories that inspire, inform and empower people.โ€

The move doesnโ€™t mean heโ€™s quitting his job as a commentator for Fox Sports, according to Variety.

Itโ€™ll be interesting to see who ends up replacing Strahan on Live.
