Lisa Wilkison becomes the latest victim to accept the challenge of the unpopular eviction ‘hot seat’, as the new co-host of the Channel Nine Today Show. Wilkinson, previously the host of Channel Seven’s Weekend Sunrise, will now front the embattled Nine breakfast program five mornings per week.
The former magazine editor becomes the fifth presenter since Tracy Grimshaw left the program at the end of 2005. Jessica Rowe was finally ‘boned’ on Saturday and since has had the glamorous Sarah Murdoch (who would be my pick) and Kellie Connolly in the presenting role.
Is it the embattled co-woman presenter or can some of the blame be passed on to the male equivalent Karl Stefanovick? He must be surely as nervous as Wilkinson, having witnessed the ‘revolving door’ of the women’s seat that he sits next to.
Stefanovick comes across confidently and has grown into the role but he must be slightly concerned about no stable on-air partner.
If Wilkinson is not the answer to the Today Show’s problems, then what will Nine do?
The pressure is mounting on the Network and the troubled breakfast program. It will be interesting to see how Karl and Lisa progress from May 28.
