BIRTHDAY STAR
Michael was missing from the panel at the start of the week in honor of his 51st celebration after he enjoyed a relaxing weekend at home with his dog Enzo.
It’s also not unusual for the TV anchor to be absent from the ABC program on a Monday as he usually appears as a football analyst on Fox NFL Sunday.
The father-of-four turned 51 on November 21 and understandably wanted a day off from hosting the breakfast program.
FAN WISHES
Fans were keen to send well wishes to Michael and took to Twitter to mark his special occasion.
