David ‘Kochie’ Kosh got so emotional celebrating twenty years at Sunrise, viewers actually thought he was leaving the show.
This week Kochie announced he’d been on Sunrise for two decades. Naturally, Sunrise celebrated by sharing a montage dedicated to all things Kochie, and yes, it included some footage of the cash cow.
Through tears; he said: “Beretts, Nat, Eddy and Dave Walters, who has been in our ear for 20 years as part of the team, I’m so very grateful,”
“Thank you for having me for 20 years,” Kochie said.
CONGRATULATIONS KOCHIE!!! 🎉🎉🎉
