“Like I went and had a meeting and talked about the possibility of doing something there and then I went to see the new movie with Samuel L. Jackson last night, ‘Captain America,’ And then I got out of the screening and I’m looking at my messages and the next thing I know, I’m on ‘Good Morning America’! But we’ve talked…”

“So are you going to do it?” Ripa pressed.

“I don’t know!” Strahan said.

“You know what, I read the papers, I am!” he added. “But this is what I do, this is me. This is my home right here, like, I love you. So no matter what, I go nowhere. This is my love. You are my love. This is my job. So don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere. I’m right here on “Live,” Okay?”

Ripa said she wants to know how many cups of coffee to have set out for him.

“I’m already busy enough!” Strahan conceded.
