Michael Strahan Felt Like a 'Sidekick' Working With Kelly Ripa: 'I Don't Hate Her'
"I didn’t know I was supposed to be a sidekick," Strahan said."I thought I was coming here [toto be a partner" but—as Strahan seemed to imply—that wasn't the case."It was an experience!". “We met a few times, and that was fine. But then eventually she said she didn’t need to meet. Can’t force somebody to do something they don’t want to do.”
That said, Strahan is grateful for his time on the program."I learned so much from Kelly, so much from Michael Gelman," Strahan said."[She taught me how to] craft a story. ‘What did you do last night?’ ‘Oh, I had a glass of water.’ But you learn to tell the story to make it seem like theglass of water. Those are things that I learned from her. She’s brilliant in that way.” However, he also knew when it was time to go.Thearon W.
That said, Strahan took it all in stride."For me, it was like: Move on. Success is the best thing. Just keep on moving." He also acknowledged that he respects his former colleague.“If people think, ‘Oh, he hates her’ — I don’t hate her," Strahan said."I do respect her for what she can do at her job. I cannot say enough about how good she is at her job.”
