'Incredible': Barbara Corcoran welcomes NFL icon Michael Strahan to Shark Tank with red-heart approval
Michael Strahan is officially headed to Shark Tank, and the excitement started inside the Tank itself. As news of his guest role broke, longtime investor Barbara Corcoran wasted no time jumping in.
Her swift, three-word reaction on Instagram said more than any press release could. It was the kind of instant approval that only a true Shark can give.
Barbara Corcoran reacts first as buzz builds around Michael Strahan
Within minutes of the announcement, Corcoran left her mark in the comments: 'Incredible! Can't wait (along with a red-heart emoji)' The red heart wasn't just emoji fluff—it was her signature stamp of excitement. Coming from the show's sharpest-tongued veteran, it landed like a standing ovation.
For a newcomer, few welcomes are more validating than that.
Corcoran has spent over a decade dissecting pitches and sizing up personalities. Her enthusiasm for Strahan suggests more than respect—it hints at real expectation. Whether it's his business acumen or his TV polish, she seems to believe he's the right fit for the high-stakes heat of the Tank.
From the gridiron to the boardroom
Before becoming a TV and business powerhouse, Strahan dominated the NFL as a defensive end for the New York Giants.

He's a Super Bowl champion, Hall of Famer, and still holds the single-season sack record. That relentless drive now powers his ventures—from fashion to media. And this fall, it follows him straight into the Tank.
Strahan steps in as a star power guest shark
Strahan joins a fresh lineup of guest Sharks for Shark Tank Season 17, stepping in after Mark Cuban's exit. Alongside him, Chip and Joanna Gaines are also confirmed for guest roles this season. But it's Strahan who's grabbing the spotlight, with his multi-hyphenate career spanning NFL, network TV, and fashion.
ABC's Instagram post featured the smiling new Shark and read: 'This multi-hyphenate is ready to take a seat as a Guest Shark! " Fans instantly flooded the comments—but Corcoran's came first. That early nod not only boosted buzz, but also framed Strahan as more than just a celebrity seat-filler.
Can Strahan swim with the Sharks? Corcoran thinks so
With years of live TV under his belt, Strahan is no stranger to high-pressure moments. But Shark Tank is a different arena—one where instincts matter just as much as strategy.
Corcoran's reaction hints she sees something in him that can thrive in that space.
Her short comment might have been casual, but it echoed with authority. 'Incredible! Can't wait' wasn't just hype—it was an invitation into the inner circle. And with Season 17 approaching, one thing's certain: Michael Strahan hasn't even pitched yet, but he's already won a Shark's approval.

This is what Sonam Kapoor has to say on ‘desification' of Wimbledon
Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor, who was last seen in the streaming film 'Blind', is coming out in support of the 'desification' of Wimbledon. A recent post by an Instagram handle showed pictures of Indian celebs attending Wimbledon. The post in question spoke about how there has been an uptick in influential people flocking to Wimbledon from India. Sonam took to the comments section of the post, as she wrote, 'Love the captions! Indians everywhere! So good na?'. Celebs like Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Urvashi Rautela, Neena Gupta and her designer-actor daughter Masaba, Janhvi Kapoor, Preity Zinta, Anushka Sharma and her cricketer husband Virat Kohli turned up at the Wimbledon. On Monday, Wimbledon paid tribute to Indian cinema for the very first-time during finals. Wimbledon's official social media handle dropped a surprise post that sent fans into a frenzy. The visual mirrored the Republic Day poster of the upcoming movie 'Jana Nayagan'. Sinner struck a powerful selfie pose with his trophy, echoing Vijay's own image in the film's teaser art. The post was aptly captioned 'The First Roar', inspired by the thunderous BGM composed by Anirudh Ravichander. This marks the first time Wimbledon has saluted an Indian actor and film — making 'Jana Nayagan' the first Indian cinematic reference to be immortalized by the historic sports institution. Looking at the recent trends, Wimbledon has been chasing viewership similar to more popular sports in India like cricket given India's colossal human capital, and the advertisement revenues wired to it. The recent Wimbledon finals saw Jannik Sinner emerging victorious in an electrifying clash against Carlos Alcaraz. Jannik became the first Italian Wimbledon singles champion in the Open Era. The Women's singles defending champion was Barbora Krejcikova from the Czech Republic, but she lost in the third round to Emma Navarro.
