The one where they win lots of money for charity.
Michael Strahan has got big plans for "The $100,000 Pyramid."
After a career of inventive moves as one of the greatest NFL linebackers of all time, Strahan has hopped around entertainment gigs with an energy and spontaneity fans have come to love.
Strahan is a co-host of “Good Morning America,” a businessman, a FOX NFL Sunday analyst, and a father. Oh, and he recently shot up to space in a rocket.
His latest adventure has been hosting the celebrity-packed nighttime edition of the legendary game show, "The $100,000 Pyramid," which began its sixth season this week.
Fans of the show love the surprise of what celebritieswill show up[ each week, and in a recent chat with Hollywood Life, Strahan offered a few dream guests he’d love to get to the set.
The show pulled off a mini-"Seinfeld' reunion on the season 6 debut on Sunday, featuring actors Jason Alexander and Wayne Knight. Strahan declared that casting a “big deal.” His next sitcom reunion dream for the show would be an even bigger deal.
“We have the 'Seinfeld,' why not do the 'Friends' reunion?" the host asked Hollywood Life. "How about like Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, or Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc. Somebody give me the 'Friends' reunion. I’d take that any day of the week.”
But for Strahan, there’s one guest that tops even the “Friends” cast.

“Bucket list for everything would be Brad Pitt," said Strahan, "but I know he ain’t gonna do it. Brad, if you’re watching, come on '$100,000 Pyramid,' man. You can win somebody some money. You’re a charitable guy.”
The man would never play favorites though. “I enjoy all of our guests,” he said, “and a lot of them I meet for the first time, and a lot of them who have been on before like RuPaul, who I just adore, brings so much energy to the show. So I’m just thankful that they trust us in the show enough to come on and have some fun.”

Of the many traits that fans love about Strahan is the everyman fandom he exudes and his obvious appreciation for all the fun he gets to experience.
“I mean, I do a lot of things," he said. "I have a great team around me who make sure that I am where I need to be and that I’m able to focus on where I am in that moment. I think that’s the biggest thing is kind of being in a moment, enjoying the moment. I have things that I do, and everything that I do I enjoy, so it doesn’t feel like work to me.”
“The $100,000 Pyramid” airs on Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.
