Michael Strahan Gets Spooked on Live TV His Hilarious Reaction Has Fans Crying with Laughter
He may have been a nightmare for quarterbacks during his Hall of Fame career, but it turns out Michael Strahan isn’t immune to a good old-fashioned Halloween scare — especially when it happens live on national television!
During Sunday’s broadcast of Fox NFL Sunday, Strahan and his co-hosts were discussing which NFL teams are the “scariest” this season. With Halloween just around the corner, the production team decided it was the perfect time to turn the tables — and the result had everyone cracking up.

The On-Air Scare That Broke the Internet 👀
As the crew chatted football, someone dressed in a white mask and robe quietly snuck up behind Strahan. The moment he caught a glimpse of the figure from the corner of his eye, the former Super Bowl champion jumped out of his chair in shock, letting out an unforgettable reaction that instantly went viral.
“What’s wrong with you, man?!” Strahan shouted, half-laughing, half-terrified — as his colleagues burst into uncontrollable laughter.
Trying to regain his composure, Strahan added jokingly:
“Ay, you know what… when I punch somebody in the face around here on national TV…”
The entire studio erupted with laughter, proving that even one of the NFL’s toughest defensive ends has his limits when it comes to jump scares.
