A Brief, Incomplete History Of Karl Stefanovic And Ben Fordham’s Bromance

Today was Ben Fordham‘s last morning sitting at the helm of sports on the Today Show panel, marking the end of one of Australia’s greatest ever TV bromances. The on-air relationship between Fordham and living national treasure Karl Stefanovic is one for the ages; unlikely ever to be repeated on local screens.

A love like this starts in innocuous ways, like a casual joke on set…

…and soon blossoms over a few post-work drinks.

Though they haven’t always seen eye-to-eye…

…they were always quick to patch things up.

They trusted each other enough to call out bad career ideas…

…or to pull each other up on tasteless jokes.

Their relationship always seemed to revolve around food, either when travelling the world together…

…or pulling off the mother of all pranks.

But through it all, you could always tell that Karl missed Ben whenever he wasn’t there…

…so when the time came this morning to say goodbye, they weren’t afraid to tell each other “I love you.”

Cheers for the good times, Fordo. Karl’s gonna miss you, and so will we.
