Michael Strahan - IamGuruJay

Have you seen Harry Connick Jr.’s new talk show? The former American Idol judge hosts the self-titled Harry show. It’s a fun and upbeat show similar to Ellen DeGeneres’s The Ellen Show.

I’ve seen Harry multiple times. I watched him today right before TMZ Live. Maureen McCormick from the Brady Bunch was his main guest. Everybody in attendance had a good time. Plus, the viewers at home (including me) were pleased.

Near the end of the recording, Harry performed a beautiful song and played the piano. Few people in TV and showbiz are multitalented. What is more, no one can deny his masterful skills.

Born and bred in New Orleans, this celebrity’s calling card is his likability. Everybody loves Raymond and Harry too. Connick Jr. possesses the pizzazz. Like Bradley Cooper, he mixes up the gumbo. The secret ingredient is charisma.

Good Morning America’s Michael Strahan was bestowed the same gift. I call this the Like Factor. All Harry has to do is smile a little. That’s all. And, he’ll possibly replace Billy Bush on the Today show.

Millions of people all around the world want entertainment value with their viewership. They need personalities to latch unto, identify with, and support. Now that Oprah’s retired, fans crave evermore.

I feel Harry Connick Jr.’s talk show might not last 5 seasons, but his brand will last 5 more decades. They will compare him to Tony Bennett. The question is who will be his Lady Gaga.

How It Ends

You hardly ever see someone making strides, leaps, and bounds in both music and TV. Without question, his name belongs on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He’s too talented to be put on the back burner.

You see, Harry Connick Jr. succeeds because he’s well connected. Harry Connick Jr. succeeds because of the New Orleans connection. Ellen, Lil Wayne, and all the money makers were born and bred there.

What makes you like someone? Why do certain people have a special effect on you? I believe there is something called The Like Factor.

You’re either likable or you’re not. You have it or you don’t. And Michael Strahan has it. Plus, the personality is a likable guy.

He has a big stature minus the big head. All this means he wears big pants with the deep pockets. He also wears many hats. Best known for Live! with Kelly and Michael. Right now he hosts Good Morning America.

Next up on his plate is serving as host of $100,000 Pyramid. Have you seen the commercials? He says something along the lines of “this is not what mama had in mind when she told me to get a summer job.” That’s another reason I like Michael Strahan.

The celebrity cares a great deal about his family. He speaks highly of his father who is an army veteran. We have that in common. Army Brats stick together.

Moreover, Michael Strahan is becoming more like LL Cool J. Ladies love this most eligible bachelor. It wouldn’t surprise me if ABC arrange for him to appear on the hit TV show- The Bachelor.

At this point in time, Michael Strahan can bank on his good name. Frankly, he is the bank with a $55 million net worth. Who wants a bailout?

For the most part, he keeps it light. He’s not afraid to try new things. In Entertainment, it’s important to be adjustable. That’s why I go with the flow.

The Like Factor of Michael Strahan has a very strong effect on people. His charisma plays a large role in his appeal to a wide audience. He’s famous for his sharp intellect and powerful work ethic too. All these qualities and more define his status.
