Goodbyes were in order, but both hosts kept it brief and professional as they bid each other adieu. Ripa offered Strahan congratulations and expressed gratitude for their time together. “On behalf of myself and all of us, we couldn’t be prouder of you,” she said. “You have given us so much joy in the mornings…We really are so, so proud of you.” Strahan responded likewise during his goodbye speech. “It’s bittersweet. Of course you get nervous,” he said. “This is a moment I didn’t anticipate being here, at least not at this point. I’m not dying. I’m still in the family and still available to come back as co-host.” Watch Strahan’s farewell message below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4329492/kelly-ripa-michael-strahan-final-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4329492/kelly-ripa-michael-strahan-final-show/"},"headline":"Watch Michael Strahan Say Goodbye to Kelly Ripa: 'You Changed My Life'","datePublished":"2016-05-13T16:33:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:32:24.638Z","description":"Strahan is leaving the show for 'Good Morning America'","url":"https://time.com/4329492/kelly-ripa-michael-strahan-final-show/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltba0ae4931d9687c7/6988931cab6d775c706a9af6/kelly-ripa-michael-strahan-last-show.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltba0ae4931d9687c7/6988931cab6d775c706a9af6/kelly-ripa-michael-strahan-last-show.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Kelly Ripa Honored With Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame","caption":"Kelly Ripa Honored With Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame","creditText":"Mark Davis—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4329492/kelly-ripa-michael-strahan-final-show/","name":"Watch Michael Strahan Say Goodbye to Kelly Ripa: 'You Changed My Life'"}}]}] ```
