The Thanksgiving update follows Strahan’s birthday on Nov. 21, which he celebrated live GMA.
After receiving birthday wishes from his co-hosts, including Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos, the former NFL star had a pep talk with Consumer Correspondent Becky Worley while discussing the Theragun Deep Tissue Handheld Massager.
“[It’s] very useful for this aging athlete. Michael, I don’t know about you, but I definitely use it on my thighs, on my arms,” Worley, 52, said. Strahan then joked, “When you said ‘old jock,’ I thought you meant me because it’s my birthday . But that’s okay, Becky—I use it too. I use it too!”
The light-hearted exchange came after the broadcaster’s unexpected absence from the morning talk show – and recent return. The father of four took almost three weeks off GMA and Fox NFL Sunday from the end of October to the middle of November.
