So it wasn't like this has been your first exposure to a big, much talked about moment, but this particular kind of global viral moment because of weird circumstances.

How have you managed that particular media interest?

You've been involved in working at Channel 9 for more than 10 years now.

You have seen people that you work with really closely, like Karl Stefanovic.

Many moments with him have made headlines and gone viral.

Obviously, you were probably still back at school when there was the moment where Karl infamously fronted up one morning after the Logies.

Everyone knows the man that I'm talking about.

What have you learned from watching some of your colleagues in similar situations?

And have they given you any advice during this time?

people will say to you sometimes what's the worst that could happen and the idea being that whatever you think is probably not going to happen and if it does true that's true well yeah and I think that's watching that you know there might have been times where I think uh you know we've both seen a lot of people doing live tv and I think oh my gosh what if I say their name wrong or I

Or what if I say something and I get cancelled?

I make a joke that goes down the wrong way.

And this is, I would hope for you as a fast emerging star in the media landscape in Australia, that this is showing that you really, you've got it.

And things do happen that go off script and it will bring attention that you weren't banking on, but you're okay.

Carl Stefanovic, he wasn't there, but he's got to have loved this moment purely from that.

Because if anyone that I've worked with in the industry loves the drama of what could go wrong or magically right in live TV, it's got to be someone like Carl.

I think anyone that's doing that much live TV.

He's the best.

So Steve Jacobs, now he, our former Today Show weather presenter, he was attacked by a large rooster during a live cross.

I mean, I knew that, but just saying it out loud.
