The TV personality certainly looks like he is at home at NFL on Fox after previously opening up about what he found to be a challenging work environment on Live! With Kelly and Michael. The star worked there for four years between 2012 to 2016 and opened up about his exit, telling The New York Times: "I don’t want to be on the show and feel like everyone else is carrying me.

He added: "In sports, you can put as many great players as you want on a team, but if one guy out there is worried about himself, it will not work. Then on television, I’ve had jobs where I got there and felt like, 'Wow, I didn’t know I was supposed to be a sidekick.'

"I thought I was coming here to be a partner… When it was time to go, it was time to go. Certain things that were going on behind the scenes just caught up."
