Promised for tomorrow
Are they acknowledging they ever had Patrice Newell these days? Notably absent from the 30th birthday montage packages.
Nope they had a pre-packaged thing from Patrice in 2012. If it’s no longer online, I can upload it to YouTube this arvo
yes please!
35 year celebration this morning:
Niall Setup:

New plasma graphic behind Christopher, plus flowers galore (which I like and kind of reminds of Kerri-Anne and the 2007 Sunrise set):
As of 6.30, the news is coming from studio 24 (likely due to sound checks and the audience):
Studio audience:
Ross Greenwood acknowledged predecessor Michael Pascoe who was Finance Editor for 18 years.
Inaugural entertainment reporter Joan McInnes was this morning’s first special guest. McInnes did entertainment for 8 years with Richard Wilkins doing the rest, both of which is an incredible achievement.

I will hand the capping/posting over to @TV.Cynic who does a much better job than me.
Correct then talked about his time on the show. Interestingly George now works as a travel host along with his wife.
Stupid mascot BLOCKY is officially gone!!!
But the good news didn’t last long. A new mascot is being voted by the audience next week. Cash Cow anyone?
Do it. Vote for Cash Cow.
I love blocky and now he is going im sad
p.s on Monday a new mascot
My favourite segment the hosts reunited Tracy Grimshaw, Liz Hayes, Georgie Gardner, George Negus and Steve Liebmann talking about the show. Some funny stories from them but saddest moment was when they mentioned the late great Ian Ross the ladies were visibly upset.
Roscoe was my favourite newsreader on this show.
I’d love to see Steve Liebmann fill in for Karl for just one day for old time’s sake. He’s always been Mr Today Show and a true professional.
Here we go as I previously mentioned yesterday, here is Patrice Newell’s precorded message from Today’s 30th Birthday celebrations in 2012.
