MICHAEL Strahan has jokingly admitted that he’s “usually lying” when he often compliments his co-host.
The GMA star, who is also a panelist on FOX NFL Sunday, told presenter Jay Glazer that he looked “fantastic”.

Former New York Giants star Strahan described Glazer as “his best friend” on the sports program.
He said: “I usually tell you every day that you look fantastic which I’m usually lying. But, you actually look fantastic.”
Glazer appeared to appreciate the compliment as he put out his hands and said: “Thank you. What is going on today?”
Strahan later tweeted: “I did give Jay Glazer a meaningful compliment yesterday on @NFLonFOX.”
He credited the stylists for “working their magic” on the sports reporter.
Fans loved the exchange between Strahan and Glazer as they posted laughing emojis online.
The light-hearted moment came just days after Strahan described ex-quarterback Terry Bradshaw as the “ultimate teammate”.
Bradshaw revealed he was diagnosed with bladder cancer in November before doctors found a Merkel cell tumor in his neck months later.

He told viewers that he’s now bladder cancer free, adding: “I’m feeling great. And over time, I’m going to be back where I normally am.”
Strahan paid tribute to Bradshaw and said that his battle would give “hope” to people currently fighting cancer.
The host has been absent from GMA recently, sparking concern among fans.
Some fear that he is being slowly replaced by the journalist T.J. Holmes.
Strahan was missing from the show on Monday.
Last Friday, the show was fronted by Holmes, Cecilia Vega, and George Stephanopoulos.
FANS FEAR
Concerned viewers took to Twitter to ask about Strahan’s whereabouts.
One said: “Where is @michaelstrahan? Wasn’t on @GMA today – what’s wrong? They haven’t said he’s on assignment – just no explanation for his absence. Is @michaelstrahan #MichaelStrahan ok?”
Another person claimed that Strahan is being replaced by Holmes.
And, a third said: “Where’s Michael this morning? I hope he is ok #GMA.”
One viewer even speculated that he could be in Ghana following in Robin Roberts’ footsteps.
Strahan is also the host of the ABC game show The $100,000 Pyramid and is developing a medical drama known as The Front Line.
