Finding someone to sit opposite Karl Stefanovic on Today has always been a tricky role for Nine to fill, with a revolving door of co-hosts coming and going.
However, his current colleague Sarah Abo has risen to the occasion, with many declaring her Karl’s best-match ever!
Yet a rumoured $700,000 pay discrepancy between the two leads could spell troubled times ahead for the brekkie show, after what has been a triumphant first half of the year.
In a bombshell new report published in a Sydney newspaper, the salaries of Karl, 48, and Sarah, 37, were leaked. Karl is reportedly pocketing $1.5 million for the year, while Sarah is said to take home $800,000.
While the figures are nothing to scoff at, New Idea’s insiders believe the large gap between the two salaries could cause unrest for the unified team.
“The news of Karl’s big pay cheque is anxiety inducing to say the least,” confesses one concerned network insider.
“Yes, Sarah is new to breakfast television, but she is not new to Nine.
“Some are wondering why she isn’t being more equally matched [with Karl],” continues the source.
