It comes after recent speculation that Allison Langdon has been tapped to replace outgoing A Current Affair host Tracey Grimshaw.
Kyle Sandilands appeared to confirm the rumor on Wednesday during an interview with the long-running presenter.
Speaking to Tracey on his KIIS FM radio show, the shock jock said he knew it was the Today show host.
