Michael Strahan

ichael Strahan is arguably one of the busiest people on television at the moment. In addition to his daily gig as one of the hosts of ABC’s he’s also a contributor to FOX Sports and hosts ABC’s reboot of the one of his “favorite shows to film because it doesn’t feel like a job…it’s a great time.” If all that doesn’t keep him busy enough, he also has his popular athleisure clothing line, MSX by Michael Strahan, which recently expanded to include affordable, official NFL-licensed items. Before he moved to TV, Strahan spent 15 years as a defensive end for the New York Giants. He said the transition wasn’t “easy,” but that he looked to his idols like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson on how to do it successfully. “It’s important for athletes to remember that when your playing days end, your career and accomplishments are not over” and to “use what they already have, and what they’ve built, as a jumping-off point to create a business that they enjoy and feels authentic to who they are.”
