Good Morning America hasn't quite been the same without Michael Strahan in his usual hotseat, having been absent from the show since March 27.

The former NFL star has been enjoying a well deserved vacation off the air, as his co-hosts Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos hold down the fort with a slew of rotating co-hosts.

While Rebecca Jarvis replaced him for Monday's installment of the morning news show, fans still inquired about his absence.

One of them took to social media to pose the question to Robin on her tweet about the day's breaking stories, as a fan asked her: "Where is Michael Strahan? Miss him."

Robin clarified when her co-star would return

The previous week, ABC News' Senior National Affairs Correspondent and 20/20 Correspondent, Deborah Roberts, was keeping Michael's seat warm alongside Rebecca and pop-culture correspondent Lara Spencer

Michael has been hosting GMA since 2016 and has been a fan favorite on the show ever since. But he also has many other projects away from the show, including his own skincare and clothing brand, gigs on FOX's NFL on Sunday, and his other hosting job for ABC's The $100000 Pyramid
