“The most iconic duo in Aussie tv,” wrote user ‘jofalafel’. “Can we do a reunion episode pls.”
‘Clares_ added’, “Name a better tv duo…. I’ll wait! It’s just not the same anymore. Best morning team EVER!!! He’s lost his cheeky spark.”
And Instagram user ‘Chloecantorbrown’ summed up the feelings of many viewers: “You two were the ultimate TV duo, don’t try change my mind coz you can’t. The only reason I used to get up early after I graduated high school was to watch the Today show and cross my fingers and toes that I’d win the cash giveaway (never did 😭) I love y’all and hope 2019 treats you both so so well x “
“You’re all class, Lisa,” was a comment repeated by a number of fans.
Karl has been weathering media criticism since leaving his wife of more than 20 years just two years ago.
“Nine and Karl Stefanovic have agreed it is time for him to step off the Today Show,” news and current affairs director Darren Wick said in a statement on Wednesday.
“Karl remains on contract with the network and will continue to host This Time Next Year which records in February.”
