Karl skips out on Nine’s biggest names
He recently celebrated his 48th birthday, and it appears that Karl Stefanovic was too partied-out to celebrate the achievements of his Nine colleagues!
The Today host was a no-show at Nine’s prestigious event honouring veteran stars Liz Hayes and Tracy Grimshaw for their 40 years at Nine, along with newsreader Peter Overton’s 30th anniversary.
Despite being spotted in Sydney with cartons of beer, Karl skipped out on the noteworthy event, which was held at the Sydney Opera House, leaving his co-host Ally Langdon to MC the event to a room jam-packed with Nine stars – past and present – including Georgie Gardner, Richard Wilkins, Steve Liebmann, Jessica Rowe and Tara Brown.
Karl’s no-show serves as a lost opportunity to promote Today, particularly after their rival Sunrise recently trumped them in the ratings for 2022.
The Seven brekkie show, fronted by Natalie Barr and David Koch, notched up its 19th year as the number one show in its timeslot, winning every week of the ratings calender so far across all five capital cities.
