GMA's Michael Strahan absent & replaced on morning show again after scoring major interview on rival
GOOD Morning America host Michael Strahan was absent again on Monday's show.
Michael was replaced by female anchor Eva Pilgrim after scoring a major interview on a rival network the day before.
Eva, who is typically a weekend anchor for GMA, sat in his seat.
She was joined by regular hosts Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos.
Michael has not been on the show for the past couple of Mondays, due to being an announcer for Sunday Night Football.

They talked about the team being 6 in 1 at the time, now 6 in 2.
He was also out last Monday and was replaced by T.J. Holmes that day.
It is unclear if Michael will return to the desk on Tuesday.

BEST DAD EVER!
Even though Michael was busy covering the football game, he still made time for his daughters this weekend.
He posted a birthday tribute to his twins, Isabella and Sophia Strahan.
The host captioned the Instagram post: "I can’t believe my babies are 18!! Happy birthday @isabellastrahan and @sophialstrahan! So proud of the two of you and can’t wait to party and celebrate tonight! Until you tell me dad it’s time for you to go home! LOL."
The 50-year-old made a video of old photos and clips of him and his daughters with Stevie Wonder's rendition of Happy Birthday playing over it.
The video showed the doting dad perfecting a TikTok dance with Sophia and Isabella.
He shares his twins with his ex-wife, Jean Muggli.
The host also has two other children-Tanita and Michael Jr - from another marriage with Wanda Hutchins.
TONGUE-TIED
Before being a no-show on Monday's episode, Michael shut down his co-host Cecilia Vega last week when she filled in for Robin.
Michael, Cecilia, and George sat behind the desk.
They led a segment on NFL quarterback Tom Brady setting another record- and Cecilia shared her thoughts.
"You know, I'm always saying. Brady broke this record in one year, and that's surprising because usually these sack records, they hold for a really long time, so I just always feel like I'm telling you this. I wish it would sink in," she said to Michael.
But Michael, a former football star, was quick to reply.
"You're always schooling me on sports," he hit back.
"I know. I know," Cecilia replied.
Michael continued: "Out of curiosity, how do you get a half of sack?"
The GMA host put down his papers, folded his hands, and stared at his co-host.
"Um...." Cecilia said.
"Thank you," he replied, turning to the camera with a smile on his face.
George laughed and said: "I was going to answer that."

"For those of you who don't know, a half sack is when two people hit the quarterback at the same time. You split the sacks," he said.
Cecilia joked: "I told you!"
