In an unexpected turn of events, Dr. Nick Coatsworth and Nine Queensland weekend news presenter Mia Glover are set to guest host the Today show.
The duo will fill in for regular hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo during the week commencing on Boxing Day.
According to a statement from a Nine spokesperson to The Australian, “Emma Lawrence will be doing Sport and Richard Wilkins doing Entertainment.” The move has reportedly caused some unrest among the team, with The Australian noting that both regular and overlooked hosts are discontent with the decision.
This summer break tradition at Today often serves as a platform to introduce and trial new on-air talent. Coatsworth, a frequent contributor to the show, appears to be increasing his television presence in anticipation of his upcoming Nine medical series in 2024, titled Do You Want to Live Forever?
The series, Do You Want to Live Forever?, hosted by Coatsworth, will take six Australians on a transformative journey. It delves into the realms of science and technology as they near the capability of significantly extending human lifespan.
The show promises to explore groundbreaking advancements in understanding DNA, disease, and treatments, potentially revolutionizing human longevity.
Viewers can expect discussions around reversing biological aging, the possibilities of eradicating diseases, and insights into the lives of the superaged. The show’s premise aligns with the notion that modern medical and scientific advancements are close to achieving previously unimaginable lifespans.
