Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Michael Strahanisn't ready to throw his hat in the ring for the mirrorball trophy. On the May 13 episode ofGood Morning America, Strahan, 53, shut down the possibility of competing onDancing with the Starswhile interviewing the show's co-hostAlfonso Ribeiro. The moment happened after Strahan's co-hostLara Spencerasked Ribeiro, 53, if there's anyone from "the sports world" who he would like to see on the upcoming season of the ABC competition series while pointing to the former NFL star. Strahan then interrupted, "Don't be pointing at me." "I think, listen, if there was a guy. I think if he played for the Giants at one point in his life. You know, he'd bring the whole New York audience, right?" Ribeiro teased before Strahan briefly showed his dance moves. "That's as much as you're getting," the former defensive end said, to which Ribeiro responded, "We need you, buddy. We'll get you a tall dancer to dance with you so it won't look so awkward." "You know what I love aboutDancing with the Stars?" Strahan asked. "When they come here, and I just get to interview them, and I don't have to dance. That's the best part." "My joints are too old and brittle," Strahan joked. However, Ribeiro noted taking part in the show could be a perfect fit with his schedule as he's already in Los Angeles for his job as an analyst on Fox NFL Sunday.

Strahan made it clear that he won't be putting on his dance shoes anytime soon, saying, "This is the thing; this is what scared me. Every professional football player and athlete who has been on the show said it was the hardest thing they've ever done. If it was harder than football was for me, I cannot fathom it at this point in my life." Ribeiro then suggested that "some of those athletes" might not have been "giving their all in football," adding, "I can't say for certain, but maybe they didn't step up." "There were Football Hall of Famers in that group," Strahan noted. He then suggested another member of theGood Morning Americafamily for the dance competition, saying, "George [Stephanopoulos] would do it, though. I have to say."
