Akbar Gbajabiamila On “Pulling Double Duties” With ‘Good Morning Football’ & ‘The Talk’ & How His Parents Inspired Him


Akbar Gbajabiamila is one of the new faces of Good Morning Football joining the NFL Network show alongside Jamie Erdahl, Kyle Brandt, and Peter Schrager.

“I transitioned out and built my entertainment portfolio with American Ninja Warrior, with The Talk … And this is a cool mesh of the things that I’ve done because GMFB is football but also pop culture. When it was announced that GMFB was moving from New York to LA, Gbajabiamila’s team threw his name in the hat to be considered for the show, and the rest is history. “I’m going to mitigate the lack of sleep [and] I’m going to hire a driver during that time where I’m doing a lot of the overlap between Good Morning Football and The Talk,” he said.
