Tonight was Anika Moa's final night filling-in as host of Seven Sharp, and her impact on the show has been so stimulating a highlights package was in order.
Although her stint as host was just two weeks long, the program rustled up a send off for Anika more befitting someone who had been on for two decades - as Hilary Barry observed.
“Time to say goodbye, I feel like Andrea Bocelli even just saying that. I want to thank you so much," Hilary said before Anika's greatest hits tape ran.
Anika then sang Hilary a song to show her appreciation to her co-host.
"Hilary Barry, I want to marry you, but only for your money, then I will divorce you.
"I love being on this show even though Peter hated my moko. Jeremy Wells is back next week but if ratings are bad he won’t have a job to speak of.
"Hilary Barry, you’re my new BFF, you da bomb girl, and you the best, I love you."
Touching, and as Hilary says, "whats-his-face" will be back next week.
