Who will replace Tracy Grimshaw on A Current Affair? Kyle Sandilands let the cat out of the bag on air

Many of us were sad to hear the news that Tracy Grimshaw would be leaving A Current Affair after hosting the show for an impressive 17 years.

Grimshaw made the announcement on the show in September, citing exhaustion as her reason for stepping down as its main host.


‘I’m not too old, I’m just a bit tired,’ she said. ‘I’ve basically been a shift worker for 26 years… and it’s time for less of that daily obligation.’

But while we're sad to see her go, we're also excited about who might step into her shoes and take over as host of the popular news program.

Rumours have been swirling about who will get the gig, with names like Allison Langdon and Sylvia Jeffreys being thrown around as potential replacements.

Langdon, in particular, has been allegedly a heavy favourite of Channel Nine executives according to a recent report.

Now, it seems we may finally have some answers to the question hounding viewers, and it’s all thanks to radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands.

During an interview with Grimshaw on Wednesday's episode of The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Sandilands asked whether she knew anything about her successor.

‘Do you know who you’re passing the baton to?’ he asked Grimshaw, to which she said ‘I do.’


Perhaps sensing a scoop, he prodded: ‘Give us a hint, come on.’

Of course, Grimshaw wouldn't confirm anything herself, saying only that viewers would know ‘very soon’.

‘Every person who has been speculated about is an exemplary person,’ she said.

‘I can’t possibly give you a hint… I wouldn’t be surprised if you know next week.’

But surprise, surprise — it turns out, Sandilands knew more than he was letting on!

‘Let me just tell everyone it is Ally,’ Sandilands said. ‘I don’t mean to burst Channel Nine’s bubble.’

Sandilands explained that allegedly, Today Show co-host Karl Stefanovic, who Langdon partners on-air, asked him for advice about who should join him on the show as her replacement.

‘I don’t know if that was a personal chat… He didn’t ask me not to say anything.’

While Sandilands was dropping the bombshell on-air, Grimshaw could be heard laughing.

Key Takeaways

  • Kyle Sandilands has claimed to know who will be replacing Tracy Grimshaw on A Current Affair, and it is allegedly Allison Langdon.
  • Sandilands revealed this information after Karl Stefanovic reportedly asked for his advice on who should join him on the Today Show.
  • Grimshaw refused to confirm or deny the rumours, saying only that viewers will know 'very soon'.
To Sandilands’ credit, he gave one final push to confirm his suspicions.

‘Can you confirm that? That it is Ally?’ he asked Grimshaw.

And in true industry veteran fashion, she responded: ‘I can confirm nothing.’

Grimshaw is set to air her final A Current Affair appearance by the end of the month.

Meanwhile, names like Amelia Adams, Sarah Abo, and Carrie Bickmore are reportedly being considered as replacements for Langdon if she leaves the Today Show.

So, what do you think about Sandilands’ claim? Do you think Langdon would be a good replacement for Grimshaw?

Never watch ACA- think it is usually a load of rubbish
 
I like thousands of others will be sad to see Tracey Grimshaw leave ACA, she has excelled in her role. Yes she is going to be really hard to replace. Surely the powers that be can see she can never be replaced by an airhead. None of the contenders mentioned could fill her shoes.
What is wrong with handing the reins to the person who has assisted her on the show for some time now and done so with the same dedication and thoughtfulness that Tracey
Has shown. I speak of Deborah Knight. She has been amazing, almost like Tracey's apprentice and I believe she should be offered the position.
She is stable, not prone to inane comments and would carry on sincerely I believe
As Tracey has retaining the Class which Tracy brought to ACA.

That's going to be a hard act to follow. Channel 7 have the best choices Edwina Bartholomew or Monic from week end sunrise.

I've spoken to Kyle Sanderlands on a number of times in person and strangely he us respectful and very polite
I had helped his ex wife with her engagement dress AND all the women in her family and Kyle had dropped them off , in a mini bus.
I hated helping His ex, she would come into buy dresses for different functions and she literally was a tornado everything ended up on the floor.
When he came to pick them up he had a Andy Cap hat and he looked over the rack and apologised saying he didn't know how I did it, helping her, as well as sisters , mum and friend .
He actually seemed like a real gentleman
 
What is the big deal. It is not who does the reading of the news items. It is who writes the scripts, sets up the interviews and investigations etc ... sure the anchor-person can go to the sites or events to do there items for the show but there is a lot of people behind the scenes. Maddie could do the job or anyone else, AND DO A GOOD JOB. Read the auto-cue and look like you are Dick Tracey.

I think Ally will be a good replacement. She’s lovely and full of life.
 
Wouldn't have any idea, do not watch the show. But I do know I CANNOT stand Sandiland,
Great to hear there is another who does not watch Grimshaw nor Sandilands , 2 of the most boring alleged personalities in the media.

Why does her replacement have to be a female can't a male do the same job?

OH, my goodness! I'm absolutely shattered; my life will never be the same. A new host for a half-baked "current affairs" show ...

Kyle lives up to his monicker as a ‘shock jock’ and I guess he feels smug that he pre-empted an official announcement. As for Ally: YES! She’ll do a great job, as usual. She’ll warm up the program with her delightful smile. If it turns out that she is the one, then I wish her all the best. She’ll be missed on ‘Today’. As to her replacement there, I have noticed Sarah has given that role a shot previously, and she’s a professional, and handled the task well. Another gorgeous smile! I guess it’s all a case of: stay tuned!

Count me out. Who cares? Most of the stuff these shows present is deliberately designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator in the name of "ratings", anyhow.
