It’s not unusual for the TV anchor to be absent from the ABC programme on a Monday as he usually appears as a football analyst on Fox NFL Sunday.
However, there could be another reason for Michael not working this week and that’s because it’s his birthday.
The father-of-four turned 51 on November 21, and understandably wanted a day off from hosting the breakfast programme.
Fan were keen to send well wishes to Michael and took to Twitter to mark his special occasion.
