Who is taking over from David Koch?
There have been rumors that David Koch might be replaced by ABC Presenter Stan Grant or former Channel 10 star Dr. Chris Brown, but Koch has debunked all those rumors.
“Well, it’s obvious they’re not going to take Karl. And it’s not going to be Dr Chris Brown. You can’t put a vet on that. How insulting. That’s like saying Mr. Whippy’s gonna come and take over my job, like come on man, that’s ridiculous,” he said.
