'I WAS fired': Lisa Wilkinson posts after Karl Stefanovic's Today exit

Former Today co-host Lisa Wilkinson has posted about Karl Stefanovic's dramatic exit from the show, sharing a pointed satirical video that compares his departure with her own end at Nine.

Wilkinson - one of Australia's most seasoned journalists - took to Instagram on Monday to repost a video by comedian Henry Bretz called "Karl Stefanovic on Lisa Wilkinson".

In the humorous clip, Bretz mimics Stefanovic, and says:

"So I get fired for speaking my mind, but let me ask you this: Lisa Wilkinson, when she was going on and on about all that women's s***, was she fired? She wasn't. Makes me so angry. What's going on here?"

Wilkinson wrote in the caption, "This is hilarious. The brilliant (Henry Bretz)", followed by several laughing emojis.

She added: "Hey, hang on, I WAS fired for going on about all that 'women's s***'".

Lisa Wilkinson and Karl Stefanovic

Wilkinson and Stefanovic co-hosted Today between 2007 and 2017, after which she changed stations to Network 10, where she joined The Project until late 2022.

The former co-hosts reunited recently when Wilkinson returned to Today to promote her new book.

Beforehand, Wilkinson posted on Instagram: "After more than eight years away from the Today show, I'll be back at the desk with Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo talking about my new book, all things Titanic and Evelyn Marsden… with maybe a little reminiscing thrown in for good measure."
