Strahan is joining Good Morning America full-time in September, where Zee also works as a meteorologist.
"I love having him," Zee gushed, adding that he's "the best" to have around. "We've had him obviously for a couple of years, a couple days a week. I love Michael Strahan and he's going to be a great addition and he's wonderful!"
When discussing whom should replace Strahan on Kelly Ripa's show following his exit on May 13, Chmerkovskiy chimed in and said, "Look, I'm in. Michael is going to come on Dancing With the Stars, and I could go and help out with Kelly. There you go, problem solved!"
A controversy has surrounded Strahan's departure from Live! With Kelly and Michael because Ripa was allegedly given little to no notice before the bombshell was dropped live on television.
Also during Chmerkovskiy and Zee's interview with E! News, the pro dancer suggested he's upset with America for only scoring their group a 9 out of 10 for the "Judges' Team-Up Challenge," which left them one point shy of a perfect total score for the night. The pair danced a routine choreographed by DWTS judge Len Goodman alongside Wanya Morris and pro Lindsay Arnold.
"[Ginger] is on a show called Good Morning America! She tells you good morning and when it's going to rain. You're picking out your outfit, you don't know the weather, she tells you the weather. And a nine? Wow, America, you're on your own now! She's not going to tell you nothing!" Chmerkovskiy joked.
