Karl Stefanovic is making a career comeback!
The controversial TV host was famously axed from his Today show job last December, after 14 years.
Since then, Karl has been seeing out his contract with Channel 9, and has hosted this season's run of This Time Next Year.
He's now making a new start and the star has confirmed he will be taking over from Mark Braybrook on 4BC's popular Drive show for the foreseeable future.

Having whet his appetite for radio during a stint on 2GB's Sydney Live, Karl will be covering for Mark in the primetime slot after the host announced he was leaving when 4BC revealed it would soon be producing all of its show out of Sydney.
"I have planned holidays for the non-ratings period for months," Mark said in a statement last week.
"Karl Stefanovic will be on air while I go fishing."
Karl recently caused controversy for his comments surrounding Meghan Markle in an interview with Katie Hopkins for 60 Minutes.
Viewers took to Twitter to slam the former Today host, calling him a "hypocrite" due to his past actions of criticising the media for invading his privacy.
"The couple appear to want a little privacy. Too much to ask? You bet. The public feel cheated, the tabloids have turned and the blame game – much of it directed at Meghan – is fierce," Karl said in the opening segment of the report.
Critics responded in turn, with one person tweeting:
"Watching the hypocricy of Karl Stefanovic scrutinising a public person after pleading for his own privacy for two years - I mean, what is this?"
