Tony Armstrong takes a parting shot at his own network on his last day on ABC News Breakfast after they called him out over 'astonishing' error of judgement before landing new gig: 'I don't care' By Mary Mrad For Daily Mail Australia Published: 04:04, 4 October 2024 | Updated: 04:04, 4 October 2024 e-mail View comments Tony Armstrong made a parting shot at the ABC on Friday morning as he hosted his very last show on ABC News Breakfast. The TV star - widely regarded as the public broadcaster's golden boy - announced last week he was leaving his role after three years. But his time at ABC was somewhat marred this week, when Armstrong was called out on his own network for doing voiceovers for insurance company NRMA while working on the program.
Janine Perrett exposed Armstrong's gig on Media Watch on Monday evening. During his final show on Friday, his co-stars gave him flowers and a big tin of coffee before Armstrong joked he wouldn't name the coffee brand. 'We won't name the brand.
.. Actually I don't care, I've already been done by Media Watch — Nescafe!' Armstrong joked.
Armstrong also said his time with the ABC has been a 'whirlwind' before admitting it had been a 'funny old week'. 'Mixed feelings. You can tell by my body language, I don't like talking about myself too much, despite being in a career where I'm in front of a camera,' he said as bid goodbye to viewers.
