Michael Strahan Gets Spooked by FOX NFL Sunday Crew in Epic Halloween Prank [VIDEO]

It seems like not even former NFL defensive end Michael Strahan can escape a Halloween scare; and honestly, that makes it even better. The FOX NFL Sunday crew pulled off the ultimate prank on their co-host, and yep, they got him good. In a moment that quickly became a fan favorite online, the TV personality proved once again why everyone loves him. Even when he’s caught completely off guard.

Michael Strahan Gets Caught in a Halloween Prank

In a video posted to the FOX Sports: NFL account on both X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, Strahan is seen chatting with Charissa Thompson, Charles Woodson, Julian Edelman, and Jay Glazer about an upcoming game. Everything seems business as usual… until it very much isn’t. Because while the team is keeping it casual on camera, one very sneaky producer is quietly plotting in the background.

The segment, aptly called “Sunday Scares,” gave fans exactly what the name promised. A classic jump scare moment that even the coolest guy on set couldn’t avoid.

“What’s Wrong With You, Man?”

As the group continues their chat, a man (suspected to be a producer) dressed in a creepy white mask and long black cloak sneaks behind Strahan. The second Strahan catches sight of him, he lets out a startled shout, asking “What’s wrong with you, man?,” before jumping back in surprise.

Charissa Thompson immediately bursts into laughter, shouting, “Got him! Got him!” like a proud prank champion, while Jay Glazer quips, “That’s how you get someone hurt over here.”

Without missing a beat, Strahan fires back, still half-laughing, half-serious: “When I punch somebody in the face around here on national TV…”

Let’s be real; only Strahan could turn a jump scare into comedy gold that fast. He tries to act tough and insists the prank wasn’t funny. But that smile creeping onto his face gives him away completely. Within seconds, he’s laughing along with everyone else and even challenges the masked figure to try it again.

The Coolest Reaction on Live TV

Thompson wraps it up perfectly, telling him, “Way to be a good sport about it,” which, yeah; she nailed it. Not everyone can keep their cool when someone sneaks up on them mid-broadcast, but Strahan handled it like the pro he is.

Fans flooded the comments with love, calling the segment “Halloween vibes 🎃,” a “Got’em moment 👀,” and a “Strahan roast 😂” Perhaps the prankster was lucky Strahan didn’t react on instinct. After all, we’re talking about a Super Bowl champ here.

Still, what really stood out was how quickly Strahan went from startled to smiling; because that’s just who he is. Whether he’s calling plays, cracking jokes, or getting jump-scared on live TV, he always brings that easygoing, infectious energy that reminds everyone why he’s been a fan favorite for decades.

And let’s be honest… if this is how FOX NFL Sunday is celebrating Halloween, we’re absolutely here for it. A little chaos, a lot of laughter, and Michael Strahan taking it all in stride? That’s the kind of game-day energy we need more of.
