Only joking, hey Karl?
The boss says no change and the host says he was just joshin'.

Further to the media distraction on potential to changes for the Today show, I note with interest that Nine CEO David Gyngell has told The Australian, “There are zero changes at Today. There won’t be for years.”
“It’s just Karl mucking around,” he said.
As expected.
Stefanovic said his comments were “100 per cent tongue in cheek.”
“Obviously we had issues and problems last year, but now we’re stronger than ever,’’ he added.
“There was an article talking about possible changes and that is absolutely rubbish. What executive would change the formula when it’s winning? We’ve won the east coast and that’s 75 per cent of your ad market right there.
“Our momentum is building back again. Hello? You’d have to be an idiot to change things.”
While his banter gave newspapers a few good headlines, I’m not really sure it was worth it (and I suspect Publicity feels the same).

Ha! Good on him. It shows how much fact checking the papers did.
this guy is an idiot he will say and do anything to get free publicity and as for everything is fine on the today set oh please whats the real reason been fordham is leaving. ben is more popular than Karl and karl cant stand him maybe .otherwise Ben would be the perfect replacement for Karl. i would actually watch the today show if Ben was the host .
Well that’s a relief, despite all the hate there is on here for Karl, I like him.
We really like each other now. No, really. Please believe us. We were faking it last year but now we’re not. Truly.
