Is Michael Strahan eyeing early retirement? The NFL legend may "reduce" his workload under new ABC deal
Michael Strahan, the NFL legend and the host of ABC's special, Good Morning America, has had a pretty busy life in the last few years. Apart from ABC's Good Morning America, Michael Strahan also appears on FOX NFL Sunday and used to host the popular game show, The $100,000 Pyramid.
But it seems like Michael Strahan is looking for a change in his life.

Apparently, this deal would be a short term one but will 'likely' include a reduced workload. While the details of this new contract between Michael Strahan and ABC's Good Morning America is not known at this time, it would be a huge shock to his fans.
After a pretty successful career in the NFL, Michael Strahan transitioned pretty smoothly to a career of hosting and has fans waiting for him to appear in new episodes.
But it seems like it is not ABC's Good Morning America that will be affected. Last month, Michael Strahan took to his social media to announce that he would not be hosting the popular game show, The $100,000 Pyramid, anymore.
Michael Strahan had been hosting The $100,000 Pyramid since 2016, and it was being produced under the NFL legend's production company, SMAC Entertainment.

However, Michael Strahan did not reveal the reason for not hosting the show anymore.
When Michael Strahan's daughter, Isabella Strahan, was recovering from cancer, the NFL legend had revealed that he values spending time with his family more than at work.
While it is not known if Michael Strahan is heading for an early retirement, it does seem like this would shock his fans.
Michael Strahan helped ESPN's Jay Harris make a heartbreaking announcement

Taylor Swift Spills The Beans On Her Possible Super Bowl Debut. Fans, Listening?
Taylor Swift hints at a possible 2026 Super Bowl debut on the Kelce brothers' podcast, linking her sourdough obsession to the 60th Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium. Taylor Swift has a lot of surprises lined up for her fans – first her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, announcement, and now her possible Super Bowl debut. During her appearance on the Kelce brothers' New Heights podcast, Taylor Swift dropped multiple easter eggs that led fans to guess whether the pop icon will make her Super Bowl debut in 2026. During the podcast, Taylor was seen talking about her obsession with sourdough bread, and curious fans have found a connection between the 60th Super Bowl performance and her sourdough obsession. What is the Sourdough Connection? During the podcast, the All Too Well singer was seen going on and on about her sourdough obsession. 'The sourdough's taken over my life in a huge way. 'I'm literally talking about bread 60 percent of the time now," Taylor stated. While new fans might have let that slide as a casual remark, Swifties found a possible connection. Super Bowl 2026 will be taking place at Levi's Stadium, the home ground of the San Francisco 49ers, and interestingly, their mascot goes by the name Sourdough Sam. Hence, Swifties think all the bread talk could actually be pointing towards a possible Super Bowl debut for the Love Story singer. Coming Back To Numbers Taylor Swift is obsessed with numbers. The singer mentioned that she talks about bread 60 per cent of the time, and guess what else is turning 60 next year? The Super Bowl! She was also seen mentioning the number 47 after Jason Kelce's introduction at the beginning of the show. Taylor thanked Jason, saying, 'Thank you for screaming for, like, 47 seconds for me. That was so nice." But why 47? Believe it or not, Taylor's 47th stop in the Eras Tour was at the Levi's Stadium, where the 60th Super Bowl is going to take place. Fans have also pointed out that this year marks Travis Kelce's 13th year in the NFL, a number which happens to be Taylor's favourite number. 4+9 = 13 – The San Francisco 49ers are hosting the 60th Super Bowl. 47+13 = 60 – Taylor, in fact, mentioned the number 47 for a second time in the episode while humorously exaggerating that the Eras Tour spanned 47,000 countries. If this calculation seems too far-fetched, Taylor has previously also mentioned that she would only consider performing at the halftime show once she owns all her masters, and now that she does, there is a huge chance for her Super Bowl debut, especially when the game takes place only a few months after Life of a Showgirl drops.
