Michael Strahan was feeling incredibly fortunate on Friday when he updated fans with some news about his show.

The Good Morning America host recently stepped away from the morning program in New York to shoot his game show the $100K Pyramid  in LA.

At the time, viewers were upset to find he'd jumped the GMA ship once more as he'd only just returned after a two week vacation.

But luckily, they won't have to wait long to see Michael back on their screens as he's already wrapped filming! And nobody was more surprised and impressed than the big man himself. 

He took to Instagram to share an update with fans and wrote: "That's a WRAP on shooting season 7 of @pyramidabc. We shot 20 shows over 4 days and couldn't be more grateful to you all."

"Special THANK YOU to all our celebrity guests for coming on and winning our guests some $$$$$!! AND to EVERYONE who tunes in each week to The $100,000 Pyramid, you are in for a treat for season 7. Coming soon to @abcnetwork. See you in the winner's circle. @smacentertainment @conschwartz @vincentrubino."

"Hurry back to GMA - the show is NOT THE SAME without you there," commented one fan, while another added: "Wow, that’s ALOT of people to do the show. I love watching it, and you make it fun. Now get back to GMA."

There is no denying that the former athlete is a very busy man, with many projects on the go. He was recently awarded a spot in the Texas Sports Hall of Fame , and he shared details on Instagram.
