GMA star Michael Strahan enjoyed a laugh with his sidekick, Muqerem ‘Mooch’ Sina as he talked about how stressed he is worrying about something very special – and we can definitely relate!
Chatting in the car with his assistant and a friend, he’s mid-babble as he discusses how he doesn’t like it when people don’t say what they want for their birthday. He said: “It’s not because I don’t want to buy them anything, it’s just easier. It’s too much to think about! I’m more stressed trying to figure out what people want.
“And so now at this point, I said to you Mooch, ‘What do you want for your birthday?'” Doing an impression of her, he continued, “‘Oh, I don’t want anything.'”

Mooch, who is filming, replied: “But what am I going to say? It’s so embarrassing.” Still, Michael continued: “Ask me what I want for my birthday! I’ll have a Rolex,” to which she wittily replied, “Yeah, same.”
Laughing, Michael concluded, “Okay, well you should say it, it’s too late now, the birthday is over! She never told me! I would have set you up… You don’t ask, you can’t get!”

Afterwards, he told the New York Times that the situation could have been handled better, explaining, “I don’t want to be on the show and feel like everyone else is carrying me. I want us all to be successful. I’ve done things that I went into with team concepts, and I came to that and realized it’s not about the team. It’s selfish and I don’t function well under it.

“In sports, you can put as many great players as you want on a team, but if one guy is worried about himself, it’s not going to work. Then, in television, I had jobs where I got there and I felt like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know I should to be an assistant.’ I thought I was coming here to be a partner. … When it was time to go, it was time to go. Certain things that were going on behind the scenes just caught us.”
