Blame This Shrieking Armadillo For Kelly Ripa's Delicious Michael Strahan Shade

Ripa-ing him a new one?

Michael Strahan only has a couple weeks left as co-host of "Live with Kelly and Michael" and it looks like Kelly Ripa isn't letting him forget it.

After the former football player made the abrupt announcement that he would be leaving the talk show for "Good Morning America," Ripa, reportedly blindsided by the news, took a week-long absence from the program.

But she made her triumphant return on Tuesday with an impassioned speech about respect in the workplace, and the show went on as planned with its revolving door of celebrity guests and wacky morning segments.

On Thursday, however, Ripa made a crack in front of Strahan during an interview with wildlife expert Peter Gros, who visited the set to showcase some exotic animals.

While standing next to a shrieking armadillo (our next pet TBH), Ripa was taken aback by its pungent smell and unsettling cries.

“I want to take him into contract negotiations with me!” Ripa joked in front of an uncomfortable Strahan, who responded with an awkward, "Wow."

If Ripa plans on delivering a daily dose of shade Strahan's way, we plan on watching "Live" live 👏 every 👏 single 👏 day 👏.
