MICHAEL Strahan has been placed in an awkward situation will live on air.
The Good Morning America star stayed uncharacteristically quiet during a talk about the NFL, and was soon called out.

In a clip from the show shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, the hosts spoke about Travis Kelce, 34, and Taylor Swift, 34, after Travis hit back at rumors that his relationship would be a distraction for the Super Bowl.
“But it is amazing that some people are just so up in arms. Like who cares? It’s great!” Robin Roberts, 63, said about the matter.
“Let’s enjoy some football, and some love, and keep it moving,” agreed Will Reeve.
“And I love how they say, you know what, they’re good, they’re not going to hear anything. Good for them,” daytime TV star Robin added.
Michael, 52, then finally pitched in after staying quiet, saying simply, “Stay away from it.”
Robin then put a hand on his shoulder, and mockingly asked, “Got anything else to add? You don’t got anything to say?”
“No, I mean I’m happy for them!” protested Michael.
Michael then looked around at his co-hosts awkwardly, who seemed to expect the football pro to have more of an opinion on the matter.

“Michael I’m going to help you and we’re going to switch gears,” joked Will, to Michael’s relief.
LUCKY IN LOVE
Taylor and Travis’ relationship began in July, with Taylor confirming their romance by showing up to several of his games.
In her first in-depth interview in almost four years, Taylor – who didn’t go public with Travis until September – gushed over her boyfriend as she explained, “This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell. We started hanging out right after that.
“So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.
“By the time I went to that first game (that he played in), we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game. We would never be psychotic enough to hard-launch a first date.”
Matty Healy‘s ex continued, “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.
“The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
STAYING STRONG
While Michael proudly shared his latest project, he has been balancing his job with a heartbreaking family issue.
The star’s daughter, Isabella, 19, was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in late October and had emergency surgery to remove a golfball-sized mass in her brain.
Medulloblastoma is a rare condition that accounts for about 20 percent of all childhood brain tumors, according to the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience.
Isabella’s diagnosis came several weeks after she began experiencing headaches at the start of her freshman year at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
Michael took a break from GMA for several weeks at the time, citing personal family matters.
Isabella underwent emergency surgery at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles to remove the mass on October 27 – the day before her 19th birthday.
She said her recollection of her recovery is foggy, and she had to learn how to walk again with the help of her twin sister Sophia.
Isabella is due to begin chemotherapy later this month.
