Michael Strahan

Co-Host of "Good Morning America," "Fox NFL Sunday" Analyst, NFL Hall of Famer & Super Bowl Champion

Michael Anthony Strahan (born November 21, 1971) is a Pro Football Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champion, Daytime Emmy Award-winning television host, and successful entrepreneur. Globally recognized as one of the most versatile media personalities in America, Strahan seamlessly transitioned from a legendary 15-year NFL career with the New York Giants to becoming a premier broadcast journalist and media executive. As a co-anchor on ABC’s Good Morning America, an analyst on Fox NFL Sunday, and the host of ABC’s The $100,000 Pyramid, Strahan possesses an unprecedented cross-platform presence. For corporate event buyers, executive conferences, and keynote platforms, Strahan delivers a commanding, charismatic voice on elite team leadership, post-athletic reinvention, and building multi-million-dollar lifestyle brands.

Early Life & Breakout

Born in Houston, Texas, Strahan spent a significant portion of his youth living on a U.S. Army base in Mannheim, Germany, where his father served as an officer. Returning to Texas for his senior year of high school, Strahan earned an athletic scholarship to Texas Southern University, a historically Black university (HBCU) in Houston.

At Texas Southern, Strahan established himself as a dominant defensive force, earning Division I-AA All-America honors and setting school records for quarterback sacks. His stellar collegiate performance led to his selection in the second round (40th overall) of the 1993 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. After spending his initial seasons adapting to the professional level, Strahan achieved his major NFL breakout during the 1997 season, recording 14 sacks and earning his first Pro Bowl selection and First-Team All-Pro honor.

Career Highlights & Accomplishments

Over his 15-season tenure with the New York Giants (1993–2007), Strahan solidified his legacy as one of the most fearsome defensive ends in football history. In 2001, he set the NFL single-season record with 22.5 sacks—a milestone that stood unmatched for two decades—earning him the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. A seven-time Pro Bowler and four-time First-Team All-Pro, Strahan capped his playing career in storybook fashion, leading the Giants to a historic victory over the undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII (2007). He retired with 141.5 career sacks, ranking among the highest totals in NFL history, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2025.

Parallel to his athletic honors, Strahan achieved an extraordinary second act in national television. Joining Fox NFL Sunday in 2008, he quickly became an anchor of the network's award-winning pregame coverage. In 2012, he was named co-host alongside Kelly Ripa on Live! with Kelly and Michael, winning two Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host. In 2016, Strahan made a high-profile transition to ABC's flagship morning news program, Good Morning America, expanding his journalistic reach into world affairs, pop culture, and human interest reporting, while also hosting ABC’s hit primetime game show The $100,000 Pyramid.
