She had her claws on Samantha Armytage in the past.

Yeah, I’m sure they sit at their office desk and peruse this forum for their next story. :joy:

You would be surprised who reads these forums. :wink:

I’m sorry my mistake. They come up with the stories on their own

I mean it’s been 3 days… What are they doing?

Also I know this is satire but now there’s a bit of truth in everything.

Imagine if they got Cass, it would be a huge FU to Karl and women would be cheering over it thinking they all collectively won for all ex wives who’s husbands leave them for a younger woman. Well the media would make them think like that… I don’t think the every day woman gives a stuff.

Mike Amor still had ā€œUS Bureau Chiefā€ on his social bio until literally a week or two ago, even though he’s been back in Aus for many months.

It’s a common thing it seems, and who really cares. Clearly Daily Mail

They took David Knox’s Big Brother Revival April Fools joke as factual News and ā€œcontacted Network Ten for commentā€, so I’m not surprised by them. :roll_eyes:

Chris Reason would have been a good get for Today if he was available.

Isn’t she the one that’s written nasty pieces about Samantha Armytage?

I did take that into consideration, probably should’ve mentioned it in my original post though!

Being able to actually conduct an interview without constantly interrupting guests with your own agenda is a prerequisite for the job. MacDonald has yet to master the skill.

Ten had 3 presenters for their failed 2nd morning show ā€œWake Upā€ with Natarsha Belling, Natasha Exelby and James Mathieson but Exelby left the show prior to its axing.

Tim Gilbert hosting with Deb Knight this week.
Lara Vella presenting news with Lauren Tomasi presenting weather this week.
Tim is also presenting sport.

Why do they keep pulling this cheap shit?

Get a sports reader in. Surely it can’t be this hard?

Maybe if they want to focus on serious news again and want a big shake up, they should consider breaking the show up. This might avoid the feeling of repetition as well.
Example:
6-7 Early News
7-9 Today
9-11 Today Extra (I’d rename this portion)
11-12 Morning News

This morning’s team seem quite relaxed and work well together- not keen on the weather presenter though.

Deb Knight is just amazing. Watching Today in the background today and she is a total natural. I used to like Georgie quite alot but her on screen chemistry since returning hasn’t been there… maybe she is better left as a newsreader rather than host.

I’ve always felt Georgie was better as a newsreader rather than host… it was evident way back when they expanded Sunrise and she was solo host. She struggled in the longer, less formal interviews.

Maybe just rename Today Extra as ā€œExtraā€ or ā€œ9 Extra / 9News Extra or something, to move away from the Today brand.

Yep. Whilst I’m sure she will stick as a host I don’t think she is suited to it. Don’t get me wrong I like her and I think she’d be really valuable on Today but maybe give her Sylvia’s role, she performed that way better back when she was doing it a few years ago, good interaction with the hosts but not having to hold the show up.
