Meant to mention previously… I’ve noticed a few times recently at the end of The Latest that Michael Usher has said “Sunrise in the morning from 5am”… has anyone else noticed this?
Yes - he said that at the end of tonight’s update.
Of course Sonia Kruger was first choice. Don’t really get why they wanted both their own interview and to air the Oprah interview anyway.
Friday (26.11.2021): Matt Shirvington is co-hosting with Nat again this Friday.
Sunrise ratings report
Australia’s #1 breakfast show, Sunrise , will be back in 2022, with co-hosts David Koch and Natalie Barr, newsreader Edwina Bartholomew, sports presenter Mark Beretta and weatherman Sam Mac.
No mention in the media release of who will replace Eddy whilst she’s on maternity leave.
It probably won’t be ‘one’ person. They’ll probably need to cycle through Monique Wright, Sally Bowrey and Angie Asimus.
Natarsha Belling is tied up with her Listnr show weekdays but maybe she’ll appear more on weekends during that period.
Not sure what news.com.au are on about here. Matt was on air last weekend.
His appearance Saturday morning will be his first in two weeks and his first chance to address publicly the saga that has now gone global.
Matt will address the situation on air tomorrow morning.
He also hosted The Morning Show last Friday.
Is it really worth Matt saying anything (again) tomorrow morning? Most people don’t care, are not interested and have moved on from this story.
27/11/2021 Eddy is co-presenting with Matt this morning (and presumably this weekend).
Expect to see a lot of former cricketer Glenn McGrath on Sunrise this summer - they welcomed him this morning as their ‘Expert Cricket Commentator’.
Matt Doran apologized for the botched Adele interview (if we can say that) at the end of today’s show.
Here’s the clip of that bit:
His apology tour becoming more depressing than… well, an Adele album.
Yeah I think he overdid the apology, almost three minutes.
Poor guy, I feel sorry for him, he must be feeling terrible, but he could have summed it up in 30 seconds without drawing out his voice and quoting one of her songs too.
He shouldn’t have had to do this.
He made a mistake. A genuine error. And it was dealt with by his bosses. Nothing to do with us or the rest of the media.
If what he says is true and they discussed all that, including her new album, what’s Adele’s problem? Sounds like the initial analysis was correct - diva.
Exactly. Surely she would understand he’s travelled to the other side of the world to interview her and it’s possible he missed the email. Diva alright.
