It looks like this transition won't be an easy one for Michael Strahan. After all the drama that was created thanks to his super secret transfer from his morning talk show with Kelly Ripa to ABC's Good Morning America, there' a new rumor that says the former NFL star is already being pressured to deliver at his new job with results.

According to Naughty Gossip on Monday, producers over at Good Morning America are supposedly watching his every move as they want to make sure that his new position will help bring in viewers and keep the show on top of the ratings chart.

One source close to the situation exclusively shared with the site, "Michael is under enormous pressure:.. There are extremely high expectations for him and they're watching him like Hawks."

The insider added, "They are expecting to see a huge ratings boost right away. "They are paying him to get viewers and now he must deliver. They have been through hell and back to get him away from Kelly, now the poor man must prove he was worth all this trouble."

So far, Straham has not made any comments about the report, nor has a replacement been found for his seat next to Kelly Ripa. His Good Morning America debut is set for September.
