NEW YORK, NEW YORK CITY: George Stephanopoulos and Lara Spencer covered for Michael Strahan and were joined by some adorable puppies as he was visibly absent from Monday's morning show. The 'GMA' host's absence has further raised speculations that he might be switching careers to foster the growth of his own production company and work in collaboration with notable partners. 

The absence of Strahan from the morning show comes soon after he posted a cryptic quote on his brand's Instagram page, which raised speculations on his possible career switch. The cryptic post was a quote by Deion Sanders which read, "If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good. If you play good, they pay good," which makes one wonder whether he is satisfied with his current position at 'GMA'.

Strahan teases a big career move 

Strahan himself teased in May that he might be looking forward to an opportunity that could be the biggest one in his career yet, reports The Sun. Even though Strahan did not exactly reveal what his big opportunity could be at the moment but he eventually hinted towards grinding and hustling for work. He even captioned the post, "Never stop moving and grinding! The next opportunity could be the biggest! #HLYB." While it may not have concerned fans when the post was made, it certainly raised some eyebrows now that he was missing from the morning show.

Lara Spencer and George Stephanopoulos host show amid Michael Strahan's absence 

Lara Spencer and George Stephanopoulos took the opportunity to not let his absence affect the regularity of the show. They were joined by an adorable group of canine puppies who were named after the characters of the hit Apple TV+ series 'Ted Lasso'. Much to the amusement of the audiences, it also delivered them with a good opportunity to adopt them as well.

Is 'Coach Prime' the opportunity? 

The first season of 'Coach Prime' was met with positive reviews and the second season getting a green signal only means a good opportunity for Strahan and his production company SMAC-Entertainment. Strahan and his fans were stoked upon hearing the news that the show has been renewed for a second season. The big news was revealed on 'The Pat McAfee Show' by Deion Sanders himself. Maybe this is the great opportunity Strahan was referring to, but one thing is sure, fans only expect greatness from him.
