NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Michael Strahan recently mocked a contestant on ‘The $100,000 Pyramid’ for using the word “keister” instead of the word, “booty” which was the correct answer.

The 51-year-old hosts 'The $100,000 Pyramid', which sees contestants working to figure out specific words with several clues. 

During one of the recent episodes, one of the contestants was fighting against time to get the word but instead used another word for the answer. Strahan jumped at this opportunity to mock him, making way for a hilarious moment on television. 

The ex-NFL star seemed to have enjoyed a fun-filled show on Sunday, leading to another stint of absenteeism on ‘Good Morning America’ for its Monday morning broadcast.
