Michael Strahan’s always been the king of turning serious moments into funny ones (he’s got that natural charm). The former NFL legend never misses a chance to keep the Fox NFL audience entertained. After gracing the gridiron for 15 years, he joined the Fox crew in 2008. Since then, the former Giants star has been rocking it on screen. Strahan has always come across as a fun, cheerful, and positive personality who can light up the room with his good vibes. Recently, he made the Fox audience smile big time with a birthday post for his coworker. 

Michael Strahan posted a funny yet sweet birthday wish for his friend Jay Glazer as he turned 55. Glazer and Strahan have been working together for almost sixteen years now. The former DE took to Instagram to share a video shot on the Fox NFL set for his longtime buddy. The video is so wholesome that even Patriots legend Tom Brady couldn’t stop himself from chiming in on the whole situation. Reposting the video on his story, the Pats legend captioned, “Hahahah this made my day. HBD @jayglazer and love my Fox teammates @michaelstrahan (heart emojis).”

In the video, Michael Strahan can be seen standing behind Glazer and mimicking his actions as Jay was doing his Sunday Night Football hosting duties. The former NFL legend was trying to match Jay’s hand gestures, as the camera catches the whole funny moment. As soon as Glazer turns around, he can’t help but crack up when he sees Strahan behind him. Looks like Glazer knew what was going on and just went along with his friend’s playful antics.

As Strahan posted the video on his Instagram, he captioned, Happy Birthday and Glazemas to my brotha @jayglazer!! You’re one of a kind and the most loyal brother anybody could hope for! Love you man! 😂😂😂😂 #Glazemas.” The video also had the caption “siblings behavior.” It looks like Strahan and Glazer aren’t just friends anymore. They’ve truly become brothers for life. Honestly, it’s just wholesome. 

Michael Strahan and the Fox crew playfully dunk Jay Glazer in a water tank

Your friends go to extreme lengths to make you feel special on your birthday, and Michael Strahan did just that for his longtime buddy. After mimicking Jay Glazer and making him laugh, the Fox NFL and MLB crew gave the birthday boy a special birthday treatment. As seen in the latter part of the video posted by the former Giants legend, the crew dunked Jay in a water tank. The reporter was sitting on a chair in the water tank while Strahan pushed the button that sent Jay straight into the water.

What’s your perspective on:

Could Tom Brady be feeling left out of Strahan and Glazer's hilarious birthday antics?

Have an interesting take?

Yes, that’s typical sibling behavior. And who convinced Jay to go along with all these playful shenanigans? It looks like Glazer was in full birthday mood, just having fun with it. For a moment, it felt like watching two kids messing around together. But hey, that’s the kind of fun we need, right? After all the intense games, a little playtime never hurt anyone. Even if it means getting dunked into a water tank in this cold weather. But hopefully, it wasn’t too freezing inside the Fox studio. 

The playful banter showed Michael Strahan’s childlike and fun side. The 53-year-old never misses a chance to lighten up a dull moment. It looks like their colleague Tom Brady might be feeling a little ‘FOMO’ since he missed out on all the fun. Maybe he’ll catch up with the team later. For now, a little late, but we wish Jay Glazer a very happy birthday! We hope he keeps gracing us with his football insights and continues spreading laughs with his buddies, just like he did on his birthday.
