Did Larry Emdur Really Get The Axe? Read His Shocking Early Morning Revelation

While sipping our morning coffees, we at the Seniors Discount Club are accustomed to browsing through the latest news about all the happenings across Australia and around the world. But today, we had quite a hilarious surprise that nearly caused us to spit out our coffees.


The co-host of The Morning Show, Larry Emdur, shared his amusing encounter with a rather alarming early morning social media headline that caught his wide-eyed attention–‘Larry’s axed’! We know what you're thinking, and we assure you, it's not what it seems.

While discussing a major decision by the social media company Twitter with his co-host Kylie Gillies, Emdur mentioned the unusual headline. The television personality was reading about the planned change of Twitter's iconic blue bird logo when the peculiar caption made its appearance online. The Morning Show correspondent Tim Lister revealed that Twitter's new billionaire owner, Elon Musk, plans to overhaul and replace the famous symbol.

Lister explained, 'This, in keeping with Elon Musk's tenure at the social media giant, has stunned many onlookers'.


He went on: 'Simply emerging as tweets overnight, Elon Musk announced that he plans to scrap the trademark bird that we've all come to know and associate with Twitter and replace it with an “X”.'

It seems that Musk intends not only to launch rockets but also to transform Twitter into something more than a social media platform. According to Mr Lister, his vision includes morphing the application into a multi-purpose platform that includes banking and enhanced messaging capabilities.

This sudden decision to remove the famous bird, symbolising Twitter as it’s widely known, has shocked many, especially those in the advertising world.


Musk's approach to public participation has been unique. He has asked Twitter users to suggest an 'X' logo. If he likes it, the new logo could go worldwide over the next few days.

Pausing to take a sip of his morning coffee, Emdur dropped a surprising fact. 'Did you know the bird's name is Larry?' he asked Gillies in jest. The revelation allowed a good-hearted laugh for us here at the SDC.

The chirpy news led to early morning confusion while reading the Twitter reports–the headline ‘Larry axed!’ could easily be misconstrued! Emdur, maintaining his sense of humour, said, 'So when I saw on social media this morning “Larry axed!”, I thought “Ooooh. That escalated quite quickly!”'


Key Takeaways
  • The Morning Show host Larry Emdur reacted amusingly to an early morning social media headline, 'Larry axed.'
  • This was related to Twitter's plans, under billionaire owner Elon Musk, to replace its iconic blue bird logo with 'X'. The bird's name is Larry, hence causing confusion for Emdur.
  • Musk's intention is for Twitter to develop into a larger company, including features like banking and messaging, hence the dramatic logo change.
  • Co-host Kylie Gillies joked that the headline 'Larry axed' wasn't the first time Emdur had seen such news about himself.

Gillies responded, 'Not like you haven't read that plenty of times before,' to which Emdur, the ever-sporting host, replied with a genuine laugh, 'Yeah, I’ve read that plenty of times before!'

So, dear members, there is no need to fret! Unless you love Twitter’s bird logo, Larry, I guess this is relatively sad news. At least Larry Emdur’s job remains safe!

What did you think of this news, members? Are you a fan of Larry Emdur? Or maybe you’re more interested in Elon Musk changing Twitter’s logo to just an ‘X’? We’d love to read your thoughts and opinions in the comment section below!

Larry Emdur is the best thing to have ever been a host of an entertainment programme.

If Channel 7 ever lost Larry Emdur their ratings would go through the floor.
 
Oh Boy! The public, and more often the media, can certainly spark rumours very fast. Ever noticed how some reporters and media in general will often cut a sentence short to try and make it sound alarmist? The rest of the sentence will often contain the truth of the situation they’re reporting on.

Don't watch 7s morning programs
Well, to tell you the truth, I don't watch Channel 7 at all, dating back to when Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the Moon. On that momentous occasion, 7 carried a streamer across the bottom of the screen which informed us that the vision from the Moon was "EXCLUSIVE TO CHANNEL 7", despite the fact that, I guess, every teevee channel on the planet was carrying it. Talk about a dog in the manger exercise ...
