She announced the news last night on the show with a comedic “In Memoriam” song parody.

Pickering confirmed she would return for a 2018 “Yearly” special in December.

Hey question David – is the tag cloud on the sidebar still updating? Just noticed there are quite a few articles about The Weekly in recent times, but it’s nowhere to be seen on the tag cloud. I can’t imagine NCIS or Today Tonight are still big in news headlines either ;P
Not a huge deal – just curious more than anything.
Hi Swanny. It is automated but it works on the amount of tags over the life of the site. For years after its demise Australian Idol was still in extra large letters, until eventually the sum total began to diminish. The Weekly is only a few years old, and not around all year so I can’t see it ever claiming prominence. Seven News, Nine News, ACA, Home & Away etc get mentions almost daily due to ratings wraps. Hope that helps!
I would love to see her return to The Project.
Noooo!!! I was hoping it was a joke. Her segment can be the best part of the show at times. She is touring again soon. Hope she is just taking a year a off.
And she can sing!
Perhaps she’ll be the token female representative fronting a program in Ten’s 2019 Pilot Week?Hopefully one of the networks has thrown a bucket load of money at her to devise her own show.
Kitty is the best ever. Good luck to her. Hopefully a break away show like Tom.
I love Kitty but won’t miss her all that much on The Weekly. Her pre-recorded pieces were great but I’ve always found the interview portion with Charlie too rehearsed. The same applies to Tom. It’s far too scripted and, thus, unfunny.
I don’t blame Kitty or Tom for the stiffness of the scripted interviews.
Oh, me neither. Charlie has never settled into a comfortable rhythm when interviewing. It always feels stilted.
I was really hoping this was just a joke. ? Kitty is awesome.
Oh that’s such a shame. I hope she does something else where we get to see her. I love Kitty Flanagan, she’s hilarious.
She appears on Have You Been Paying Attention from time to time.
Oh yes I love her on that too.
Obviously she decided she needed to get out after her failed leadership challenge
(those who watch regularly will understand what I mean)
That is great news. If they lose Tom Gleeson as well the show would be watchable.
