Karen Koster and Greg O’Shea said farewell to The Six O’Clock Show on Tuesday evening.
It was definitely an emotional goodbye filled with a lot of tears.
As the pair said their farewells, Karen got choked up as she told Greg: “I have had a ropey year and a half with all the personal stuff going on and you have been the best person to come in to.”
Despite her tears, she continued: “To all the crew on the floor, you’re amazing at your job. To the people who do the prep, honestly- this is the easiest job I’ve had in 20 years because they work so hard at what they do and they makes us feel good.”
