‘Panicked’: Fans shocked by Todd Woodbridge’s surprise career announcement – as host pens special message online

When sporting legend Todd Woodbridge took on the role to host Tipping Point Australia in 2024, he never imagined he’d be celebrating an incredible 450 episodes.

But almost two years and a Logie Award later, the tennis champion penned a special message to mark the milestone – that left one fan jumping the gun.

“Ep 450 of tipping point for me today! Can’t believe how much I’ve enjoyed doing this show!” Todd announced in a post on Instagram.

“Our crew are sensational and we all love doing our job and hopefully it shows….”

As the host got sentimental, the loyal fan jumped to the comments fearing the worst about their favourite game show.

“Todd I don’t think you realise how incredible you are… the highlight of the show is your interaction with the people
,” they went on.

And it’s clear Todd’s huge fanbase agree as they collectively sighed in relief about the post.

”It shows !
,” reassured another fan. “We love it and you all make it a fab experience. Congrats and well done to you and the team !
.”

“You’re the best presenter currently on Australian TV! So professional and who genuinely cares about people,” wrote a third.

Safe to say, Todd isn’t going anywhere soon!

Alongside the post, Todd shared a behind-the-scenes look into making the beloved game show.

“Come and see the magic being made on Tipping Point,” he wrote, revealing he had four more weeks of filming before the season was done.

While certainly an exciting career milestone, Todd earlier admitted that when the opportunity to be the host of Tipping Point came about, many doubted if he could do it at all.

“At the beginning of the show, I really felt like I had to prove to a lot of people that I could pull the show off and that I was actually deserving of getting that opportunity,” Todd revealed exclusively to 9Entertainment.

“That’s where my competitive sporting spirit really kicked in. It was like, ‘OK, I’m going to work hard, I’m going to show everybody I can do this.’

“It’s really important to me and to the team that have done it. Because it’s not just for me, it’s for everybody that’s made Tipping Point work.”

He proved that to everybody when he won the Logie for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter in 2025.

And judging by his fans’ comments, this is only the start of his presenting career. An incredible 450 episodes and hopefully many more to come!
