Kelly Ripa hasn’t said much regarding the impending departure of Michael Strahan, who is set to take a full-time gig with “Good Morning America” in September.
During her grand return to “LIVE! With Kelly and Michael,” she expressed how proud she was of Strahan, but hasn’t said anything else—until Tuesday’s episode of the morning talk show.
“A week from this Friday is Michael’s final show here at ‘Live!’,” said Ripa on May 3 as the audience jeered. Strahan’s last show is on May 13.
An audience member yelled, “We still love you, Kelly!”
With confusion etched upon the pair’s faces, Ripa with a laugh, responded with: “Oh--oh thanks, I’m still here.”
As for what will happen during the former NFL’s last show, the 45-year-old former soap actress shared some of the details.
“We‘ll remember. We’ll reminisce. We’re going to look back at the fun times we’ve had together--wait till you see all the stuff that we’ve done, you’re not going to believe it,” she told Strahan.
