Karl Stefanovic has appeared on Piers Morgan’s “Uncensored” podcast, where he wasted little time to address his critics.
“I’ve got too much to do, too much I want to do,” Stefanovic told Morgan. “Those people aren’t working in the industry anymore so they can…” before flipping off the cameras.
Morgan pushed him further. “Do you want to say what you…” he began, before Stefanovic cut in: “I really, really want to say it. They can go f**k themselves.”

Stefanovic also weighed in on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s recent “shag, marry, date” comments about Kylie Minogue made on Nova’s “Bush Deep” podcast, before a clip of the original exchange was played.
“I think personally, and I don’t want to overstate it, or draw too many conclusions at this point of his prime ministership, but I think he could be the worst prime minister since Keir Starmer,” Stefanovic said.
Morgan agreed, pointing to what he saw as a double standard from the prime minister, who warned Stefanovic against straying “further and further out on the edges of what is mainstream political debate” following Stefanovic’s own interview with far-right UK figure Tommy Robinson. “But I thought there was a real hypocrisy there because he’s criticising you for being out of the mainstream political debate,” Morgan said.
“For a prime minister of a country like Australia, to be as coarse as he was on camera about a national treasure like Kylie, I thought was, given what he said about you, edging away from mainstream. How is that any different?” Stefanovic agreed. “That’s what stung most,” he said.
This is the second time Stefanovic and Morgan have interviewed each other, following Stefanovic’s first sit-down with Morgan, recorded two hours after Nine Entertainment confirmed it was terminating his contract in the wake of his interview with Robinson.
