It has officially been confirmed that Allison Langdon is leaving The Today Show, after co-hosting with Karl Stefanovic for two years, to head up A Current Affair following Tracy Grimshaw’s resignation.
Karl addressed Ally’s departure on Monday morning’s episode of the breakfast program.
“Alison Langdon, everyone – the new host of A Current Affair, of course. Congratulations, Ally,” the presenter said at the top of the show.
“I wasn’t sure what you would do this morning… I knew it would be something,” replied Ally.

Karl, for his part, kept the jokes coming throughout the episode. When a promo teased Sarah Abo as Ally’s Today Show replacement, the 48-year-old quipped: “out with the old and in with the new.”
“When you say things like that I can’t wait to go,” Ally replied.
“And we can’t wait to shove you off. It’s going to be a wonderful week of celebrations,” Karl teased back.
