The Briefing · Meet Karl Stefanovic's 'replacement' · 10 Jul 2026 podcast

Sometimes you can go, oh my God, all my friends are at this stage of a legal career or a medical career.

Am I just still running around playing dress-ups in my 30s?

So to answer your question, I think the reason I like to work some sort of –

or just at least a satire that says something and has a point.

It's always been the comedy that I've been drawn to.

Like I grew up loving Clark and Dorr and then, of course, like Frontline and The Hollow Men and Utopia, a lot of the Working Dog productions, Roy and HG, even like these Australian comedians

comedians who you look back and you say, oh, that actually probably made a difference, might be strong, but it can influence.

And I sincerely do believe that a lot of powerful people in this country are tapping into pretty scary forces and

Taking advantage of genuine grievance.

I've long maintained that with this content I want to parody the people in power who are trying to monetise people's anger rather than making fun of the people who are angry.

I wouldn't want to do a video that makes fun of one of Carl Stefanovic's listeners.

My rule of thumb has always been...

I will make fun of episodes where Carl is being taken advantage of but not where Carl, I feel, is taking advantage of someone.

I would never – you know, Carl's done a lot of work on the NDIS on his podcast.

I would never want to do a parody of an episode where he's talking to –

people who felt they were maybe defrauded by the NDIS, something like that.

I would never – or if he's talking to a veteran who served our country.

So that's going to be my rule of thumb with how to make sure I'm pushing back against what I think are scary forces in our country being tapped into for financial gain by people like Carl.

On the other hand, in terms of where I want to go with it,

It's tricky.
