Karl Stefanovic has been axed from the Today show after a controversial podcast, co-host Sarah Abo confirmed on air. 'There had been a lot of speculation about Karl's future with the show,' she said. 'We wanted to inform you that Karl will not be returning to the Today show or tonight.'
The decision follows a podcast episode where Stefanovic made remarks that sparked backlash, though specific details of the comments remain unverified. The Nine Network has not issued an official statement regarding the departure.
Stefanovic, a longtime host of the morning program, had been with the show for over a decade. His exit marks a significant change for the program, which will continue with remaining hosts.
As of June 26, 2026, no replacement has been announced. The network is expected to address the situation in the coming days.
