Well, that’s not how we thought things would end.
According to earlier reports, Micahel Strahan was scheduled to remain at Live With Kelly And Michael through the summer. But it looks like things have changed. He’s leaving in two weeks, according to TMZ. A memo stating this went out to the Live staff today, the same day that Kelly Ripa came back from her “break.”

The memo reads:
“After meeting with the producers of both ‘Live’ and “Good Morning America,” and after speaking with Kelly and Michael, we have decided on a plan that best advantages both shows for the future.”
“To that end, Michael’s last day on ‘Live’ will be Friday, May 13, which not only gives the show the chance to have an appropriate send off for him during the May sweeps, but to also immediately give Kelly and the producers an opportunity to begin the on-air search for a new co-host.This plan also allows ‘GMA’ to start integrating Michael into the show more often this summer before his full-time start in September.”
Messy, messy.
