Michael Strahan Reveals the Hilarious Grandpa Name He Came Up Following Birth of Daughter Tanita's First Baby

The former NFL player's oldest daughter welcomed her baby on Sunday, Sept. 22

Michael Strahan is coming to terms with his new title as a grandpa.

As a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, Sept 23, the Good Morning America anchor, 52, excitedly shared that his eldest daughter Tanita "had a baby at 2:30 AM" on Sunday, Sept. 22. He said while "it's fantastic" being a grandfather to her baby boy Onyx, he's struggling with the idea of being old enough to be called a grandpa.

"I went over after I finished up work at Fox yesterday, and I was holding him," he explained, pretending to cradle Onyx in his arms. "I'm like, 'I'm going to get you so spoiled and give you back to your parents.'"

He then admitted, "It's the most amazing feeling, but I don't feel old enough."

Fallon then chimed in, "Well, like, besides Grandpa, right? Like Papa?"

"Yeah," Strahan said, "Papa, Gap-pa, like I don't know."
