Awkwardly Hilarious: Michael Strahan Shuts Down Will Reeve with One Word on Live TV Leaving Everyone in Splits
The GMA crew Michael Strahan Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos were chatting with Will Reeve another show star about reunions. You know those sometimes-cringey sometimes-fun events where you reconnect with your high school peeps. Will innocently asked Michael "Hey did you ever go to your high school reunion?" Simple question right?
Wrong! Michael's response? A curt and perfectly timed "nope." Just one word but the delivery was everything. Will Reeve was visibly taken aback and could only manage an "okay" before trying to move things along. But Michael wasn't done yet. He elaborated on his "nope" revealing the hilarious reason behind his reunion avoidance: he graduated high school in a class of just TWO people.
Imagine a high school reunion with only two graduates! The GMA studio erupted in laughter. Will Reeve was giggling and apologizing Michael was cracking jokes about the tiny graduating class and Robin and George were chuckling along. It was pure unscripted morning TV gold.
Michael even shared the clip on Instagram and fans went wild calling his comeback "hilarious" and saying he "didn't miss a beat." It’s these kinds of off-the-cuff moments that make live TV so entertaining and Michael Strahan proved he's a master of the unexpected comedic timing.
From High School "Loser" to NFL Legend to GMA Star: Michael Strahan's Incredible Journey
The funny exchange actually revealed a bit more about Michael Strahan's background too. He mentioned that high school for him was "surviving every day" not exactly the peak of his social life. He even joked that his social life back then was practically non-existent or as "the kids say 'loser'."
Michael had moved from Texas to Germany as a kid and then back to Texas just for his senior year. Football became his focus and pretty much his whole world. Believe it or not Michael only played ONE season of high school football before landing a college scholarship. Talk about talent!
Of course Michael went on to have an amazing NFL career becoming a Super Bowl champ and a seven-time Pro Bowler. But his journey didn't stop there. After retiring from football he transitioned to TV and has become a huge star on Good Morning America since 2016. Before GMA he was also on Live with Kelly and Michael. It’s a testament to his personality and hard work that he has found success in such different fields.
Why Michael Strahan Never Felt Like He "Had a Handle" on High School and Focused on Football Instead
Michael’s "nope" and his comments about high school being about "survival" give you a glimpse into his mindset back then. It sounds like he wasn't focused on the typical high school social scene. He was dealing with moving around adapting to new places and really throwing himself into football.
Football wasn't just a sport for Michael it was his "real reason" for being in high school. It was his passion his focus and clearly his ticket to a brighter future. That dedication paid off big time leading to his incredible NFL career and eventually his successful TV career. So while he might joke about missing his high school reunion it is clear Michael Strahan has more than made up for any perceived "loser" status he felt back then. He's a winner in every sense of the word.
