Am I missing something? Because everytime I count years starting with 2005, I get to 21. When you take out 2019, you are still left with 20 years.

It was February that he started, Steve’s last day the top story was Charles and Camilla getting engaged and that was mid-Feb 2005. Karl then started the next Monday from the new set.

The anniversary is described as “20 Years On” so like any anniversary or birthday, they’re celebrating 20 years to the day since he started. The strange thing was that they also celebrated a few weeks ago by suggesting this was the start of his 20th season on air.

So if you count all those seasons from 2005 to 2025 (even ghough 2025 had only just dtarted) that’s 21 and take 1 season he was off air brings you back to 20. That was a strange way of counting an anniversary and that was my point.

He’s hosting Today from Vegas, not sure if he’ll be involved in the NRL coverage given he doesn’t normally, but might make a brief appearance or two.

Somehow, I don’t think that’s the sort of “late-night show” Nine are considering for Stefanovic. I’d say it would be much more like some form of _Nine News Late_ replacement.
