Might be time to wipe the whole cast and start again. Would not lose anything of value tbh.

Bathie with Deb on news could be interesting with Sylvia taking over the weekend hosting position.

Only thing I’m not sure about is the Bathie-Karl dynamic but really they should be looking beyond Karl and using the new female host as a tentpole to rebuild the team around.

I’m not a celebrity and yet I manage to have a cool hairstyle. 😉

He thinks he’s being cool by keeping the same hairstyle he had when he was a 15 year old but instead he looks like his mum. 😜

I suppose he’s on radio so we don’t have to look at it. Just as long as they keep him off The Sunday Project so we don’t see it again. 😜

They better use the opportunity to finally get rid of Wilkins and bring in a sports presenter that doesn’t scream NRL.

Knowing channel nine they would probably put Beau Ryan on sports.

Can I suggest somebody outside the box?

Karen ‘Kaz’ Ledbury, who has been on The Morning Show since 2008?

No?

We do not want another Eddie McGuire period of mass sackings.

As much as your point is rather valid.

The way the rumours and speculation is going, your mother has a better chance than Oprah or Ellen!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Edwina Bartholomew is the new co-host or Natalie Barr?

I’m sure Sally Obermeder could be poached. She’s wasted over at 7 at the moment, if you ask me.

On a related note, I find it very interesting that there have been dozens of names thrown around as a potential replacement - however, I doubt there would be anywhere near as many suggestions for Karl’s successor.

_It’s time for one_

Who do you think will be the new Today co-host? 🤔

If there’s a person not included (due to the max of 20 names), post their name below.

_Poll ([view on site](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/today-2015-sept-2020/101/2636))_

Other names I wanted to include:

•Alicia Loxley  
•Jo Hall  
•Jennifer Keyte  
•Liz Hayes  
•Ita Buttrose  
•Sally Bowrey  
•Hermione Kitson  
•Jodie Speers  
•Keira from The Bachelor  
•Fleurina from The Bachelor  
•Monique Wright  
•Naomi Robson  
•Helen Kapalos  
•The Cash Cow  
•Oprah Winfrey  
•Ellen DeGeneres  
•Melania Trump

The reason I didn’t include the following, was because they were tried, tested & failed (sadly):

•Kathryn Robinson  
•Natarsha Belling  
•Jessica Rowe

It’s tricky. I voted for Bathie because I think she would be at the top of Nine’s list but I’m not sure she would go for it.

If not Bathie then Georgie or Deb.

Chris Bath and Melissa Doyle have already done breakfast TV and aren’t likely to go back to it. Georgie Gardner and Deborah Knight are needed on Nine News Sydney much more than Today. Sarah Harris probably wouldn’t go back to Nine now that she’s the face of Studio 10 and about to go on maternity leave.

As much as presenters like Jayne Azzopardi and Sophie Walsh are great young talent, they’re relatively unknown outside of Sydney (and Queensland, in the case of Sophie). And thankfully, I think the likes of Amber Sherlock and Belinda Russell have no hope of being promoted to such a major presenting position.

With all of that in mind…even though I’d personally prefer one of those other presenters to be chosen, I reckon Sylvia Jefferies is going to be Karl’s sidekick on Today in 2018.
