-Well, your birthday is tomorrow, is that right?
-Tomorrow, man. -Happy birthday!
-Thank you. -Early.
-Thank you. Appreciate it.
-I just -- I know exactly what to get you.
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah. I turn -- I turn 47 tomorrow.
-That's a big deal, man. -So, yeah.
-That's awesome. -It's good.
So, I'm excited about that.
And after work, I fly to Houston.
Have dinner with my parents
because, you know, the kind of the mobility is not so great
in their 80s, so -- -Sure.
-I'm going to go to them. Take the kids, fly down,
have dinner, and then fly out that night
and go to L.A. so I can go to work on Thursday.
-Holy mackerel. You work hard, man. Oh, my gosh.
-Yeah, I have great jobs, though. I'm like you.
I have fun at work. So, yeah. -Yeah, no.
-Yeah, it's all great stuff.
What is the big game Thursday?
-Cowboys and -- No, the Cowboys/Redskins.
-Yeah. -First place in the division.
It's for first place in the NFC East --
a division that was won by the once-great Eagles, who...
[ Laughter ]
...have had a wing clipped
and have fallen to the ground in a very hard way.
-Questlove, be careful. -Stop it!
-No, Questlove, be careful.
-No, 'cause you know every time I come here,
they are waiting in the hallway to greet me.
-Yeah. -And go, "Your Giants suck".
-Yeah. -"My Eagles are so good".
Oh, I walk in today, the band, the room to the --
the door to their room is closed.
[ Laughter ]
I caught one of them trying to go --
trying to go to the bathroom.
I caught you.
They didn't want to talk to me. -What?
Why did they want to -- I mean, what happened
to the Eagles this season?
-They landed. The Eagles have landed.
[ Laughter ]
You know what I think happened in all honesty?
I think they won the Super Bowl last year,
and this year, they thought it was just going to happen,
that they were going to be -- automatically be
back in the playoffs, and it's not that easy.
You're at the top of the mountain.
Everybody is trying to knock you off.
-You got to stay up. -And you got to stay up.
And Carson Wentz has still played well.
I don't understand, really, what's going on,
but they just can't win.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, watch out. Watch out.
Watch out for that drumstick. Oh, my.
My God.
-I wish the Eagles would play as hard as you threw that.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Who is -- Who is -- Just hold on to it
just in case he -- -Oh, I'm not throwing it back.
-Who is -- Who is doing well this year?
Drew Brees, right? -Drew Brees is doing fantastic.
I think that's going to be --
If anybody can go into New Orleans
and beat the Saints, especially in the playoffs,
they deserve to go to the Super Bowl
because that is by far the best team.
Defense is playing better than they have.
And Drew is amazing.
I mean, 39, almost 40 years old.
He and Brady, have, like, proven that, you know,
30s and 40s are the new 20s.
-He came on our show once. We had Drew on the show,
and he was playing a game -- just a fun game.
Like, we played "Catchphrase", but it was with --
I was throwing plates up and he playing against...
-I saw that. -...Taylor Lautner.
-And, pow, he is knocking 'em out the air.
-Well, Taylor started to win,
and all of sudden, Drew stopped having fun.
He was like --
[ Laughter ]
He was like [Whooshes], and I was like --
I could barely let go of the plate.
"Game over. I don't want to play this no more, man".
I was afraid, man. -Yeah, you get competitive.
-Yeah. -"I can't let an actor beat me".
"I got to go back to the locker room".
-Exactly, yeah. -You can't do that.
-So, you do "Fox NFL Sunday",
you do "Thursday Night Football".
-Yeah. So. Thursday, Thanksgiving, obviously,
football doesn't stop.
People like to watch football,
eat a little turkey with the family.
So, I have that big game this weekend.
I mean, it's Thursday. And then this weekend
out in L.A. to do the Fox gig with the guys.
-And then back here, you do "GMA Day" now.
-"GMA", "GMA Day". -"GMA", "GMA Day".
-GMA Night.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, exactly.
-But, yeah. "GMA Day", I do that with Sara Haines.
It comes on at 1:00.
-I love her, she's great. -And she is fantastic.
-Yeah. -And she's -- everything you see
is what you get, which I love about her.
There's no one way on TV and another way off the screen.
What you see is what you get.
Sweet girl. And we have fun, you know?
-You like doing that show? -I love it because it's fun.
It's just get on and just play and experiment
and try to put a show together and make it fun.
-And find your voice, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, exactly. -You -- Today, I got
a nice present from you.
I was hoping it was avocado toast,
but it wasn't. It was just a --
It was actually much nicer. Thank you.
I got a -- I got a beautiful thing of clothes
and nice clothes from the Michael Strahan Collection.
-I got to take care of you, man. You look good, though.
You always look good. I will say that.
-Oh, no, but thank you. -But I figured I'd give you
a little something so when you're not here,
be a little more casual, some --
We just came out with a denim line.
-Yeah. -So, you got jeans
and all that stuff.
You can dress them up, dress them down.
I got them on now. -Yeah.
-I don't know how I look, but I got them on.
-No, you look great. Absolutely.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, the runway. Oh, runway!
Runway, Strahan!
Oh, oh! Runway, Strahan!
Oh. Oh, my --
Oh, my goodness. Sit down.
[ Horn blares ]
Sit down! Just sit down now!
Oh, my goodness. -Oh, sorry.
My hamstring cramped. I had to stretch it.
-Yeah, you had to stretch it there.
MSX is what it is.
Michael Strahan, exclusively at JCPenney.
-Yes. -And you're doing this
cool thing -- You did a great thing
for veterans. -Yeah.
-With your clothing line. What was the --
What was the challenge? -Well, the MVP --
Merging Vets and Players --
it was started by my friend Jay Glazer,
who worked with me at "Fox NFL Sunday".
And he takes these vets who have come back from combat
and they need to find a new family,
need to find a new team,
and he brings them all together,
brings in ex-athletes.
and he brings them in under the guise
of working out at his gym,
but then they sit around for like an hour or more,
and they just talk about life.
And so many vets commit suicide.
And this is about giving them
that team and people they can depend on
to save them from that.
And we did a challenge, so for every 25 pushups
someone would do, we'd give away
articles of clothing.
And we had -- It went viral.
I mean -- -Yeah.
-You know, John Krasinski did it.
-I saw. Chris Pratt did it. -Chris Pratt did it.
-No, I saw that go around. -Sylvester Stallone did it.
And we gave over 500 pieces of clothing
to all these soldiers and vets
so that they can look good and have what they need and --
[ Cheers and applause ] -Good for you.
-No strings attached, man.
-The challenge is over, though. -The challenge is over.
And, you know, but my dad's an Army -- retired Army major,
so the challenge is over, but, of course,
we'll always still be involved.
And you should have dropped and gave me 25.
-I know. I know.
[ Laughter ]
Ow, ow, ow, ow. -No, you're in shape.
You got the pecs. -I could do it.
-Yeah. -You want me to do --
I can do 25 pushups.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What happens -- What do I get if I do?
-Okay, how about -- okay, you do it --
If you do it, we'll double up what we've already given.
So, we'll give away over 1,000 --
[ Cheers and applause ]
We're doubling it up. Come on, Jimmy.
I'll do it with you. I'll do it with you.
-You'll do it with me?
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I thought you had one stick! -All right, buddy.
-Come on, man. -All right.
All right, ready? -All right, let's go.
-Go.
-One, two, three,
four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten,
11, 12, 13,
14, 15, 16,
17, 18...
-Come on, you got it. -...19, 20, 21,
22, 23, 24, 25!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-You did it! -Only you, man.
-You did it, man. -Only you.
-Thank you. -Michael Strahan, everybody!
[ Cheers and applause ]
We'll be right back with Michael Angarano.
Stick around, everybody.
-The soldiers thank you, my friend.
-Oh, my God. -Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
