Today show: Amelia Adams fills in for Allison Langdon as co-host

Today show viewers woke up to a new line-up on Thursday with Amelia Adams making her debut as co-host alongside Karl Stefanovic.

Adams, 39, has just returned to Sydney after four years as Nine’s Senior International Correspondent in Europe and North America.

She was filling in for Allison Langdon, who took the morning off.

Adams, who is set to join 60 Minutes as a full-time reporter, was given a glowing introduction by Stefanovic at the start of the broadcast.

He described the Nine veteran as ‘one of Australia’s all-time great correspondents’.

But things took an awkward turn when he said co-hosting the Today show was a step down from the dizzying heights of foreign reporting.

‘From the pinnacles of reporting greatness to working with Alex [Cullen, newsreader] and I. It’s a long way down,’ he said.

Her appearance on Today coincides with rumours Langdon will soon be named as Tracy Grimshaw’s replacement as host of A Current Affair.

TV Blackbox reports ‘no firm decision has been made’ regarding ACA in 2023, but Langdon’s name ‘keeps being whispered’ by network insiders.

If Langdon does make the move to prime time, 60 Minutes reporter Sarah Abo is said to be a ‘hot contender’ to step in on the Today show.

But according to the industry website, Adams has now emerged as a late favourite.

Despite Nine announcing in August she’d be moving to 60 Minutes, TV Blackbox says ‘the network is now reconsidering if Adams would be better placed on Today’.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel Nine for comment.
