Naomi Robson (born 4 December 1961 in California) is the presenter of the east-coast version of Today Tonight, an Australian public affairs program which screens weeknights on the Seven Network. Robson has also made brief appearances as herself in the Australian films, Thunderstruck (2004) and Trojan Warrior (2002).
In 1997, Naomi became the host of the Melbourne version of Today Tonight. The programme was later extended to Sydney and Brisbane, with Robson as host. Figures from ratings research firm OzTAM show she has a nightly audience of more than one million people across the three capital cities.
Firstly, he are a few of Naomi's out-takes from Today Tonight, titled "The Real Naomi".
Naomi Robson has been involved in a number of controversies since she began hosting Today Tonight.
In 2005, Robson was aired on Triple J Radio, yelling obscenities at her production crew, before the night's show went to air. She is reported to have sworn nine times in 15 seconds, concluding: "Well fuckwit, you sit up here and you read the bloody autocue." Below is Robson apologising for the outburst on Today Tonight.
While covering the Beaconsfield mine collapse in Tasmania, a photo appeared in the Launceston Examiner, showing a media scrum as reporters scrambled to hear an update while Robson was visible in the background having her hair tended to. Claims were made in the story that a "makeup van" pulled up outside at her hotel every morning. Robson denied the claim on Today Tonight the same day. Here is "The Chasers" response to the story.
Following the death of Steve Irwin. Robson hosted Today Tonight from outside Australia Zoo, wearing khaki with, at one point, a lizard on her arm. The choice of outfit caused viewers to complain, describing the move as "tacky" and "insensitive".
On 14 September 2006 Robson and her crew were detained in Indonesia, after arriving in the country with tourist visas to film a story on a boy they believed was in danger of being killed by cannibals. They were later deported. A war of words erupted between the Nine Network and the Seven Network about the issue. Today Tonight ran a story on the day of the arrests accusing Nine's 60 Minutes programme of refusing to rescue the six-year-old. A series of allegations were made, including one that 60 Minutes refused to save the boy because it would cost too much. Seven's head of news and current affairs Peter Meakin played down his network's role in fanning the flames on 15 September following his Nine counterpart Gary Linnell's angry reply that Nine would be taking legal action on Seven's accusations.
