In the end, even Michael Strahan’s final sign-off was hurried.
Making his last appearance as co-host of “Live with Kelly and Michael” on Friday, the pro football Hall of Famer tried to close the show with a tribute to the fans and the behind-the-scenes personnel.
“It’s not about myself, it’s not about you,” Strahan said to his co-host Kelly Ripa. “It’s about everybody here. We have incredible staff here. We have, from producers to the staff to the crew, they make sure we’re always prepared that we come out and put on a great show for you guys.”
Just as Strahan mentioned the crew, music began to play and the credits rolled — as if he were an Oscar winner who went a bit long.
Ripa addressed her absence when she returned to “Live” on April 26. She said the controversy was about “respect in the workplace,” and that she was “thrilled” for Strahan’s new opportunity.
