NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In a surprising twist of events, ‘Good Morning America’ host Michael Strahan will be joining the popular competitive reality show 'Dancing with the Stars' on October 10 as a guest judge, as per Parade.
As the date for the ‘Motown Night’ episode approaches, the ‘GMA’ host has taken to Instagram to promote his gig and get the hype going. However, instead of applause and hype, Strahan was on the receiving end of some mockery.
Strahan, who is a ‘GMA’ host and former NFL star, has received a negative response on the internet prior to guest judging on 'Dancing with the Stars' as people asked, “What does he know about dance?”
