According to news.com.au, Andy was to “fill in” on the show, indicating that Nine bosses are keen to see if he’s the right fit for the breakfast program.
TV insider Rob McKnight dished that Channel 9 is “looking at their options”.
“I think we’re at a 50/50 split as to whether the line-up will change next year,” he told the website.
“Nine right now are looking at their options. It’s no surprise to anyone that Nine would be sitting back and going, ‘Do we continue with what we’ve got and try and evolve it or do we start again?’”
“It’s quite possible they haven’t made that final decision, but there’s no doubt conversations are taking place about scenario A, B, C and D.”
Furthermore, Sportsbet revealed the other half of Hamish and Andy has nabbed the top spot for the take over.
“We reckon Andy Lee would make a brilliant anchor for breakfast TV. At the moment hosts of Today and also rivals Sunrise spend most of the morning giggling at each other. At least with Andy he’s genuine,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Rich Hummerston.
A source recently revealed to New Idea that former Today star Karl Stefanovic could be set for a shock return to the Nine show.
“Karl has agreed to take a massive pay cut to go back to Today. He is cap in hand and begging,” a source told New Idea.
According to the source, Karl will partner with 60Minutes host Allison Langdon and together the pair have been chosen to try and boost ratings.
“They love Allison, and Karl and her are actually really good friends.”
