‘Tis the silly season as Kochie & Sam Armytage go head to head

Former hosts are back on brekkie telly.

If you were channel surfing yesterday you may have done a double take by seeing David Koch on Sunrise and Sam Armytage on Today.

The silly season has arrived.

Kochie was a Sunrise guest providing money tips on saving at this time of year, as part of his ongoing relationship with the show as financial expert. Monique Wright and newcomer David Woiwod were hosting (on a Monday no less).

Meanwhile new Nine recruit and The Golden Bachelor presenter Sam Armytage was hosting Today alongside weather presenter Dan Anstey.

All together now, “Sam Armytage I wake up with Today.”

Media reports had earlier suggested she would fill-in with Clint Stanaway for a week and a half.

Regular hosts Karl Stefanovic, Sarah Abo, Natalie Barr and Matt Shirvington are expected back soon. Do not adjust your set, but feel free to modify your expectations.

  1. David Woiwood was a very inspired choice to take over hosting duties on weekend sunrise. A great journalist with proven experience, charismatic and is also happy to have a laugh at his own expense.
    He and Monique also have great chemistry together.

  2. One minute you’re considered essential for morning TV –
    the next minute your presence is written off as part of the “silly season”.

    Such is the journalistic highs and lows of showbiz.

    1. Going head to head the silly season, not any individual’s value. Lighten up for xmas. FYI: This is from post #1 in 2007: “TV criticism is sometimes way too serious, so I’ll be chucking in the odd frivolous idea just for the sake of it too.”

  3. What I found more bizarre was that somehow David Crisafulli was appearing ‘live’ on both Today and Sunrise at 7.18am AEDT being simultaneously interviewed by both Monique and Sam… Not sure who was trying to pass their interview off as live and who was pre-recorded?

    1. Seeing that Channel Nine cloak themselves in all things veracious plagiarism, I would say Sunrise was live and Today was pre-recorded. Channel Nine has always been disingenuous, with their copycat antics beyond pathetic.
