GOOD Morning America star Michael Strahan has warned that his friend’s pants looked “too tight” during a light-hearted moment.
It comes as the former NFL footballer was missing once again from the morning show New York studios on Thursday.
Michael, who is in Arizona ahead of the Super Bowl, made a tongue-in-cheek comment to the football coach Deion Sanders.
Footage shared on Instagram showed Michael embracing Sanders when he was being interviewed.
The former New York Giants defensive end joked: “Had to let Deion Sanders know his pants were too tight LOL.”
Sanders was sporting a blue outfit and paired it with white sneakers.
Meanwhile, Michael looked dapper as he donned a shirt, a pair of checked trousers, and smart shoes.
But, the pants caused a stir online as fans rushed to comment on the hilarious moment.
One fan thought that Michael’s trousers were also looking a little tight on the former football ace.
And, Constance Schwartz, the CEO of SMAC Entertainment, joked: “Kettle… pot.”

But, dozens of fans gave their seal of approval.
One fan chimed: “Love those pants.”
Michael was once again replaced by Rebecca Jarvis on Thursday’s edition of GMA as she starred alongside veteran anchors Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos.
Rebecca said it was “amazing” to be sitting next to Robin.
Robin, 62, is marking a major milestone as it has been 10 years since she returned to GMA following a bone marrow transplant.
‘MISSING’
Jarvis has been filling in for Michael throughout the week.
Meanwhile, Michael has only appeared on GMA once this week – Tuesday.
He’s normally missing from the program on a Monday as he is a football analyst on FOX.
But, no NFL games were broadcast last weekend as only the Pro Bowl was held.
Michael was out of the studio on Wednesday after scoring a major interview with LeBron James.
He sat down with the Los Angeles Lakers legend to discuss his NBA scoring record.
LeBron has 38,390 points scored during his nearly 20-year career, beating Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who held the record for 38 years.
The athlete told Michael: “I never ever was like I want to break the all-time score.
“I never ever even thought about it and the fact that I’m like literally right here, it is mind-blowing.”
Michael chatted to LeBron before the sports star took the court to face the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
The daytime TV star has been busy as he promoted his new Super Bowl-inspired clothing range – MSX x Starter Collection – ahead of the big game.
The jackets feature the Super Bowl logo and contain nods to The Grand Canyon State.
Michael worked with Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham, who will be playing in the game, to promote the apparel.
In a clip shared on social media, Brandon donned a Super Bowl LVII bomber jacket.
He picked up another one that had the Super Bowl label printed on it and said it was “sweet.”
Michael captioned the post: “You are good to take the tags off because the fit is right LOL.
“Appreciate you showing love to our MSX x Starter collection.
“Appreciate the way you play the game and good luck in the SB.”
The U.S. Sun reported how Michael urged football legend Tom Brady not to pick up “20 jobs” following his retirement.
