'Can I get a job? I've got the time' - Cheeky Neil Finn tries hand at newsreading on Breakfast

Crowded House frontman Neil Finn could be taking on a new gig - as a presenter for TVNZ1's Breakfast.

"I felt like I was the host just then," Finn joked as he wrapped up an interview with Breakfast host John Campbell this morning. "Can I get a job? I've got the time to fill in."

"There's a seat right here right next to me," newsreader Indira Stewart said.

Moments later, Finn took over news presenting duties from Stewart as he read out a break tease to laughter and applause from the impressed crew.
