“I know a lot of you are wondering, ‘Oh, it’s gotta be April Fools’ joke, he’s gotta be joking with the teeth,’” Strahan, who currently is a co-host on “Good Morning America,” begins while wearing a mask during his two-minute video on Twitter. “I appreciate all the comments. I mean, I was surprised. ... I didn’t know so many people cared.”

“April Fools’. Come on, man!” Strahan said. “The gap is here to stay.”
