Ahh! Those good old days of GMA3. These must have been the words ringing around the minds of Good Morning America’s fans when they were surprised with a special guest on Wednesday. Michael Strahan, who returned to ABC to host GMA, had been pretty busy with his other TV gigs. And it was supposed to be just another normal day on the show with co-anchors Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos. However, Roberts suddenly popped up with a surprise for Strahan, saying, “Ke-ke! Your girl, Keke Palmer’s gonna be here!”
Well, hearing that brought a huge smile to Strahan’s face as he giggled, “I can’t wait.” So, in the next episode, Keke did appear, as Roberts had already teased the former Giants’ defensive end. And boy, what a reunion it was! Former co-stars greeted each other, with Michael sarcastically saying, “What’s up, redhead?” And Keke jokingly replied, “My guy.” Then, without wasting any time, to impress the viewers with their long-awaited reunion.
Keke and Strahan participated in a fun marching challenge on the GMA set, where they had to navigate small squares marked by blue tape while wearing blindfolds. To add to the excitement for GMA fans, they attempted to stay within the designated squares without being able to see. Both of them humorously acknowledged their challenges, with Michael joking that his large feet would make it tougher, while Keke faced the added difficulty of balancing on her heels.
But after 45 seconds of marching, the two slowly removed their blindfolds. Now, what they discovered is that both were a foot outside those squares but still in sync: “That’s insane,” Keke added as Strahan replied, “At least we’re in sync!” Yeah, they both somehow lost the challenge but remained in the same place. Talk about connection!
In addition to the entertaining events, GMA enthusiasts had the chance to enjoy the dynamic presence of Keke and Michael Strahan after quite some time. Following the show's wrap-up, fans took to Instagram with a special appeal for ABC. They expressed a desire for the network to reunite the beloved trio of GMA.
ABC has received a unique request from the viewers of Good Morning America.
Keke’s reappearance on the show couldn’t stop long-time GMA viewers from getting emotional on Instagram. When the show shared the clips of Strahan and Keke’s get-together, they weren’t going to miss the chance to call out ABC. One of them wrote how the former co-stars still had the chemistry going, “They still got the chemistry! Give Keke, Michael and Sara another show GMA!” Now, just for those who aren’t familiar with Sara Haines. She was also one of the co-hosts before the pandemic changed everything. When multiple TV networks were shutting down their studios because of the COVID-19 outbreak, ABC also had to follow the herd.
And this eventually led to the sudden cancellation of GMA in 2020. With that, all three of them moved on to their separate endeavors. But Strahan remained as one of its co-anchors when GMA again rebooted due to popular demand. However, Sara had already become the regular co-host of The View, while Keke Palmer continued to juggle her growing movie and TV career. Even this time, she came on the show to promote her new upcoming movie, “One of Them Days.”
But watching Keke come back to the show, one she was once the heartbeat of, fans tagged ABC and Disney studios to announce a separate show for Michael Strahan and Keke, “I think we need a Michael & Keke show! Am I the only one? Mornings w/Michael & Keke.” There was another who praised the presence of Keke as a co-host, “I hope she goes back to cohosting with him! She is a phenomenal host and journalist! The way she conducts her podcast is everything! @keke is literally like a ball of sunshine.”
While many of them threw requests on the door of ABC, there was a fan who was pretty upset with their decision to cancel GMA back in the day, “They messed up when they canceled Strahan, Keke, and Sara.” Now, watching the fans’ outpouring reaction to Keke’s guest appearance on the show, maybe ABC could pull some strings and bring the trio together once again. Then, just imagine what the reaction would be. Like, we can already hear the fans chanting GMA3! If it does happen.
