About Karl Stefanovic
Karl Stefanovic (born 12 August 1974) is an Australian podcaster and former television presenter and journalist. He previously co‑hosted the Nine Network’s breakfast program Today and worked as a reporter for 60 Minutes. In January 2026, he launched a podcast independent of the network, titled The Karl Stefanovic Show. After he published an episode on 23 June 2026 in which he interviewed a far-right activist, the Nine Network negotiated terms for his departure. == Early life and education == Stefanovic was born on 12 August 1974 in the inner-Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst, Australia to a Serbian-German father and an Australian mother. He was raised in Capalaba, Queensland. He was educated at St Augustines College (Cairns), the Anglican Church Grammar School, and the Queensland University of Technology, where he graduated with a degree in journalism in 1994. == Career == After graduation, Stefanovic was unable to secure a cadetship in journalism. At his father's suggestion, he auditioned for NIDA but did not make the final cut despite making it through a few rounds of auditions. Although he was encouraged to re-apply for the following year, he took up a job offer from WIN Television in Rockhampton instead.
