Sunday 27 November 2022 09:14 AM Today show shakeup: 60 Minutes reporter Sarah Abo joins as new co-host trends now

Allison Langdon has jumped ship from the Today show to join A Current Affair, leaving her seat at the breakfast table open to a fresh face. 

On Sunday, Channel Nine announced that 60 Minutes reporter Sarah Abo will be filling Langdon's spot alongside Karl Stefanovic as Today's new co-host.

'I am thrilled to be joining the wonderful and hard-working team at Today, who manage to inform the nation every morning while also having a lot of fun' Sarah, 35, said in a press release.

'I have been incredibly fortunate to work alongside some of the country's finest journalists at 60 Minutes and travel the nation and world bringing stories to Australian audiences' she went on.

'It is an absolute privilege to meet so many inspirational people and help tell their stories. I can't wait to put everything I've learned from those amazing experiences into my new role at Today.

'The 3am alarm will be an adjustment, but I'm looking forward to keeping Karl on his toes. I know Ally will make a success of the move to ACA and I can't wait to watch her in the chair'.

She will join the Today show team of Karl Stefanovic, Alex Cullen, Brooke Boney and Tim Davies on Monday 16 January, 2023. 

Sarah has become a familiar face on the top-rated breakfast program, recently filling in for Allison numerous times.  

Stefanovic said that while he will 'miss' his former co-star Langdon, he is excited to work with Abo. 

'Ally has been extraordinary over the last three years' he said in a press release on Sunday.
