Why Karl Stefanovic was fired, according to Tom Gleeson
Why was Karl Stefanovic let go from Nine’s the Today Show? On-set tensions? Declining ratings? A PR crisis with his personal brand? Declining love and adoration from that key advertising demographic: grocery buyer with child?
Dr Mumbo may never know for sure, but thankfully, Tom Gleeson has taken to the stage at the 61st TV Week Logie Awards to explain what really went down.
Gleeson gave away the first award of the night, noting he’d only been given the presenting honour because Nine had “run out of stars”.
“New rule in breakfast TV – if you’re too entertaining, they fire you,” he said in reference to Stefanovic.
Karl should host 6pm news in Adelaide until contract over
Fren family should host Today show (who wouldn’t want to see that?!)
Nine’s ratings problems solved!
Good on you Tom Gleeson ,there is too much pc and everyone is on the line , so brave of you .I am in awe.You are the new warrior of the wet and weird! xx
Well Done on the Gold for ABC, Your Comedy and Jokes.
Channel 9 get rid of Georgie and Deb Knight ASAP.
Why is Deb reading and presenting 5pm News on the weekend. RUN OUT OF NEWS READERS??? CMON FIX IT UP TO THE CEO AT NINE.
IM G LAD THAT ABC AND CHANNEL 10 won most awards at the Logies.
Karl was great to watch..very entertaining. Now we have the radio on.
No one wants to watch Sunrise is terrible. Where did their hosts even come from originally. Lipstick on a pig me thinks.
