GOOD Morning America host Michael Strahan has returned to the morning after taking a day off.
He was out on Tuesday after he received backlash from his interview with Prince Harry, 38.
Michael, 51, doesn’t typically host GMA on Mondays, due to hosting Sunday Night Football the night before.
However, he appeared on the show on Monday this week to expand on his interview with The Duke of Sussex, which was released that day.
The former football player took off Tuesday this week instead. Cecilia Vega filled in for him while he was out.
Michael returned to the show on Wednesday and stayed on air on Thursday.
The host is expected to also sit behind the desk on Friday.
Michael was joined by Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos each day that he was in.
Although his day off on Tuesday could have been due to him being in on Monday, it might have been due to the backlash he received for his interview with Prince Harry.
GMA fans slammed Michael and the morning show for his big interview with Prince Harry, which aired Monday.
Viewers took to Twitter to claim the popular host should not have given the rogue royal a major platform to complain about his family.
On Monday morning, Michael sat down with the Duke of Sussex to talk about his new book, Spare, which was released in the US on January 10.
The two talked about Prince Harry's time in the military, and his fractured relationships with his brother, Prince William, and his father, King Charles.
The pair also dove into the death of Harry's mother, Princess Diana, and his life now as a father and husband.
Although Michael's colleagues and some followers praised the interview, others were tired of hearing about Prince Harry.
Many Twitter users said that no one cares anymore about the angry royal, and blasted the show for "giving him a platform."
"Please make them stop. They are beyond annoying," one fan said.
"So much drama, Harry," said another.
A third asked: "Why are we giving Harry all this attention?!"
"Nobody f***ing cares. Stop trying to make these jerk-offs a thing," one GMA fan said.
"Drama of a spoiled brat," another said.
"Who cares? Why is this important or news?" another asked.
However, the comments weren't all negative.
Some social media users praised Michael for his interview skills and a "great interview."
"Very good interview," one fan wrote.
Another replied with clapping hand emojis.
A third added: "Great interview- well done @michaelstrahan and Prince Harry."
"So proud of Harry. Well done Mr. Strahan. Good interview," another said.
"There is always two sides to a story… Michael [you’re] here to report, just doing your job… Will watch! Keep up," one Instagram user commented.
"Loved the interview," said another.
