Project host Sarah Harris makes plea for work after show axing - and reveals sad admission: 'Social media killed the TV star'

Sarah Harris made a cheeky plea for more work on Thursday as she appeared on Nova FM 's The Real Story podcast. The Project host, 43, is just days away from being out of a job as the show prepares to air its final show on Friday. But it seems Sarah has taken it all in her stride as she joked with her former Studio 10 co-star Joe Hildebrand about being on the hunt for a new job. As the podcaster introduced her on his show this week, she immediately directed listeners to her LinkedIn and said she would take 'any employment'. 'Hello, I'm Sarah Harris and I'm open to any sort of employment. You can check me out on LinkedIn,' she joked as she opened the interview.

But the talk soon took a sad turn as then spoke about the '50 people' from behind-the-scenes of The Project who will also lose their jobs. 'More than 50 people have lost their jobs now,' she said. 'I can cop it. I'm old enough and ugly enough to deal with that but the kids who've lost their jobs… 'Lots of people behind the scenes who are about to have babies – who have scrimped and saved and bought their first place.' Sarah also spoke about the 'reckoning' the TV industry is currently suffering through as it competes for audience retention. 'Social media killed the TV star,' she said. Presenters such as Sarah, Waleed Aly and Georgie Tunny are said to have been offered contract extensions to the end of the year, reported While production staff working behind-the-scenes are believed to have received just a couple weeks notice to find a new job. Sarah's future in the industry remains unclear, with recent rumours suggesting Ten may choose to keep her on for the news show replacing The Project. While the media personality has yet to confirm what is next for her, Sarah shared the funny side of her impending unemployment this week. During Wednesday night's show, she shared a hilarious video which saw her starring in her own spoof stand-up comedy special. 'She's gone from sitting down to standing up,' a narrator could be heard saying in the background. 'Yeah, I'm a comedian now,' she announced while standing on a fake stage. She then launched into a routine, showing herself in an all-black ensemble with a microphone in hand. 'When they axed the show, Ten said it wasn't personal,' she continued. 'They said it was just a strategic refresh, which we all know in TV speak means: "We don't know what we're doing, but we're not doing it with you."' She went on: 'People are always asking me for the news... You know what? I've got some news for you. The economy is down. My wine consumption is up.' She finished the segment with: 'I'm an unemployed celebrity, of course the Jungle is coming for me,' referencing reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Sarah shared the tongue-in-cheek skit to Instagram, which she accompanied with a hilarious caption. 'Turns out live-streaming myself sobbing while eating grated cheese straight out of the bag was too "niche" for #OnlyFans,' she penned. 'So I'm pivoting to comedy. On whatever you're streaming in 2026.'

'This overwhelmingly affects people in the already most socially disadvantaged suburbs, they are the ones to be far more likely victims of crime. 'It's got to stop.'

Australia cannot continue to ‘rely' on coal: Joe Hildebrand

Sky News contributor Joe Hildebrand contends that Australia must move beyond coal, warning that the global market for it is disappearing. 'I've got no problem with nuclear, the Australian electorate does,' Mr Hildebrand told Sky News host Paul Murray. 'We're not going to be able to rely on coal forever simply because there will no longer be a market for it elsewhere. 'We have to start looking at other things.'
