Michael Strahan Is Leaving Live to Work Full Time at Good Morning America

He'll segue to GMA in September

Michael Strahan is leaving Live with Kelly and Michael, but viewers will still be able to spend their mornings with him.

After four years co-hosting Live with Kelly Ripa, the former NFL star is departing to work full time at Good Morning America starting in September. He joined GMA two years ago, working twice a week, before heading over to Live.

Strahan, who retired from the NFL in 2008, will continue co-hosting Fox NFL Sunday during the football season.

"Over the past two years on GMA, Michael's proven to be a tireless and versatile broadcaster with an incredible ability to connect with people, from veterans and all kinds of newsmakers to a host of modern American cultural icons," said ABC News president James Goldston in a statement.
