When the show first debuted on television, viewers were more torn than ever. The majority of people thought Michael Strahan and Darryl Mitchell were brothers, and in some cases, twins, in real life because of their method acting skills and faultless dynamics. That idea, however, was not supported by any facts and was purely based on speculations by their fans.
