‘Good Morning America’: Michael Strahan Called out On-Air for Priceless Reaction

A segment on Good Morning America went off the rails last week when co-host Michael Strahan stole the show. ABC News’ chief medical correspondent Dr. Jen Ashton joined the show for a segment on how to optimize hair health, and she made an off-handed joke about men taking prenatal vitamins. She was then distracted by Strahan’s facial expression.

Ashton warned that “over-styling” hair is not good for it in the long term, and also advised viewers to think about their diet when it comes to hair health. She even said that prenatal vitamins for pregnant women can help heal damaged hair, even for men. She said: “Any kind of multivitamin will be for your hair, including prenatal – and that goes for men also. You will not grow a uterus if you take a prenatal vitamin.”

Ashton went on with her talking points, but Amy Robach was clearly distracted. She finally said: “I’m sorry, I was laughing because right over your shoulder is Strahan, and when you told men that they wouldn’t grow a uterus if they took a prenatal vitamin – his face! I was trying not to laugh!”

“Michael, that means you!” Ashton joked as she turned around to see Strahan’s frozen expression. Strahan himself got in on the joke immediately.

“Alright, thank you! I learned a lot in that segment,” he said.

Strahan has covered plenty of topics as an anchor on Good Morning America, but his reputation as an NFL player still makes for a good laugh once in a while during a segment like this. Strahan can sometimes seem out of place in the calm, gentle world of mid-morning news. He played in the NFL up until 2008 after winning the Super Bowl with the New York Giants.

Strahan first got into journalism as a sports commentator on Fox NFL. It did not take long for him to make the jump to more general news coverage, however. He was the host of Live! with Kelly and Michael for a few years after Regis Philbin retired from the series. Finally, he took his current job on Good Morning America in 2016.
