I am a long time viewer of your today show, in particular the News
section. After this mornings segment with the acting prime minister
I felt I had to speak my mind as to the arrogant attitude of your host
Carl Stefanovic. I watched his face during the interview/grilling and like many other of his interviews he comes over as a very arrogant person
the way he conducts the interview, note his body language!
Perhaps he himself should review some of his political segments.

I 100% agree with Bill Lambert’s comments on 18 February 2018. Karl Sefanovic is not the larrikan that some ill informed Media people at Channel 9 make him out to be. Karl Stefanovic does come across as wanting to be the No 1 Alpha Dog on the Today Programme. His jokes are not funny. He seems to pressure his co presenters to conduct the Today programme all around him. Silvia Jeffreys keeps laughing at his unfunny jokes and comments and it makes her look silly. Silvia is actually quite good when she does not get trapped in Karl’s rubbish feedback. Best thing is to take Karl off.
