It's been a rough few months for GMA host Michael Strahan with unexplained absences from the show. Now we know why, his daughter has been diagnosed with brain cancer, and like any concerned parent, he's been by her side. As Jim Moret reports, a very emotional Strahan and his daughter shared the news this morning. And hours before an avalanche buried four skiers outside Lake Tahoe, forecasters had warned heavy snowfall could create avalanche conditions. One man died from his injuries, now we're hearing from a survivor who was buried alive. Plus, it's been almost five years since Connecticut mom Jennifer Dulos vanished. Although her body was never found, her abandoned car was...as were bloody items with her DNA. Now her estranged husband's girlfriend is going on trial - accused of being involved in the murder. She says she innocent. Ann Mercogliano is at the courthouse. And that didn't last long!

Quarterback Aaron Rodger’s has been sacked! Just one day after his non-apology to Jimmy Kimmel, Rodgers has been given the boot from Pat McAfee’s popular ESPN show.

Ann Mercogliano reports.  

In his first show of the year Jimmy Kimmel spent roughly seven minutes of his monologue launching into quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The battle started when Rodgers said Kimmel was among those who didn't want the Jeffrey Epstein documents to come out. Now that a batch are out and Kimmel isn't mentioned, he's demanding an apology...but will he get it? And federal safety officials are still investigating the Alaska Airlines jet that lost a door plug in midair.

She helped murder her mother after a childhood of abuse. Now Gypsy Rose Blanchard has become something of a cult figure thanks to an HBO documentary and new Lifetime series…and she may also be about to become a millionaire. And Covid deaths have now crept back up to about 1,500 per week. The drug Paxlovid can be very effective in preventing serious illness and even death from Covid, but a new study found only about 15% of the high risk patients who could benefit from Paxlovid are taking it. Plus, his illicit relationship with Mary Kay Letourneau was the inspiration for the hit movie May December up for several Golden Globes this weekend. Now 40-year-old Vili Fualaau says he's "offended" no one from the film's production team ever consulted with him. And as they say, better late than never - but 80 years is an awfully long time to wait for a letter to be delivered.

But before the list even comes out there's drama...a war of words has erupted between late night host Jimmy Kimmel and outspoken NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. And Americans coming together over the holidays may have given each other more than just presents! Coast to coast respiratory illnesses are on the rise including something being called the 100 day cough. As Steven Fabian reports, you don't want to catch this. Plus, 12 years ago she borrowed her grandmother's minivan to go on a date...then, sometime later, she vanished.

It's turned out to be quite the time capsule!
