The impending move of Good Morning Football across the country has resulted in one cast member sticking around — albeit after she gives birth, first. Host Jamie Erdahl posted an emotional video today via her X account, saying that she will indeed make the move from New York to Inglewood but that she’ll be delivering her child first:
“I’m really happy to say that I get to keep sitting in my chair, being the best point guard I can be when Good Morning Football returns in Los Angeles. This is a very hard time for many people affected by this decision to move this show, and all I can hope is that for the people making these decisions — our executives at the NFL, our coaches — to not make these decisions lightly and to do so with the best intention of keeping what people love about GMFB intact: the fact that it’s four people who love this game and this league sitting around that big beautiful table, and the dedicated team beyond the table giving you everything we have got at night and every morning. So I will see you in LA, but I’m going to go have a baby.”
Earlier this month, the NFL made the controversial decision to move the popular morning show from its New York City studios across the country to California. The new studios in Inglewood, CA serve as the home to NFL GameDay and NFL Total Access, and will now house GMFB too. While Erdahl will make the move, it’s presently unknown if the show’s other cast members, Jason McCourty, Kyle Brandt, and Peter Schrager, will join her. For a show that has seen success because of its chemistry, keeping the band together will be crucial for its continued success.
