Karl Stefanovic to leave Today Show

Please tell me this doesn’t mean we are up for another 4 weeks of saturation coverage of the guy and eveyone connected to him?

Good. damn. riddance! The Today Show is pathetic, the fact that he thinks it’s the best just proves how bad it is.

Having been watching channell nine or the today show t think Karl would do better on the 60minutes show and his brother to take over Karl’s spot and if georgie. Goes eithe deb knight or Laura Vella l await your decisions oh I forgot ally from sixty minutes

Let’s be realistic, Karl is totally over-rated & certainly not worth his reported $2-3m p.a. School boy larikinisn & continually laughing at your own jokes only goes so far.
Quite frankly the public is over him & fresh talent is badly needed. The overpaid, grinning Cheshire Cat has had his day in the sun. His arrogance, pomposity & poor ratings finally caught up with him….

Cue the mean spirited remarks …

This is actually a really sad day as the key reason this has happened is due to the media’s obsession with Karl’s private life.

In what other role would a divorce (which should be a very private and personal thing) become daily fodder for magazines and in the end one of the key factors in this result.

I’m not sure anyone in a regular job would tolerate this situation so why should it be any different just because you’re in the public eye?

Congrats Karl, not many of us can say we’ve held the same job for 14 years and done so pretty successfully.

Hopefully you will only be judged by your performance in the future.

So much bovem stercore.
Why do we concern ourselves with the vicissitudes of overpaid, suited and dandied talking heads?
The greed associated with otherwise mediocre and generally meaningless fillers, conceived to support advertising space, is at best embarrassing, and at worst sickening. Let him go where he will, and let him have his hair blow dried, and his face powdered by some other low paid backroom worker.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence and the ability to read and write, could do the job for a set rate of reasonable remuneration.
The concept of commercial celebrity is a problem wherever it festers, but at such a lowly rung of the ladder, it’s nothing more than a very expensive joke.

Let’s just hope there’s lotsa money in shoes for Jasmine to keep Karl in the matter to which he has become accustomed.

Yeh what he said (I think…..)

It’s called being a celebrity. Don’t want the attention? Then get off TV.

This must have major flow affects to the News.com.au office and probably that of New Idea.

There is entire generation of 23 year old journalists who don’t know how to write articles about anything else than Karl whatshisname

God help them as they discover how to write articles on actual newsworthy world events, or refocus on who the Kardashians were

why everyone cares about this guy so much.

While lesser minds might have a bee in their bonnet about the young new wife, the absolute killer for Karl was his crapping on the nine year old school girl, Harper Nielsen, who made a protest about the National anthem being unrepresentative of Indigenous issues.

What was he thinking ???

It might be noted that it takes two to get the ratings on this Breakfast show. Not sure why the rather bland Georgie is not include in this Bonfire of the Vanities. Her role is very underperformed and dull. Made his work concrete mixing.
They both have the one job to do for huge money – get ratings. Fail big time by both. Not just Karl.

I am so glad he has gone. I stopped watching channel 9 because i could not stand his stupid childish ways. He brought the show down heaps. New blood is good. Channel 9 lost the best one lisa wilkinson.

Time for a change. I too got sick of his Childlike performances.
I stopped watching 9 over a year ago to watch 7 and the ABC.
Bring back Lisa along side Georgie these two mature professional women would bring new life back to the Show.
