Another Midday incident often referred to occurred in 1996 when host Kerri-Anne Kennerley, following a serious political discussion, coaxed Federal Treasurer Peter Costello into learning the Macarena. In 2020, media personality Lisa Wilkinson recalled a tense exchange she had with Nine boss Kerry Packer after being a guest on Midday in her capacity as the editor of Cleo, also owned by Packer. During her appearance on Midday, Wilkinson had revealed she had decided to discontinue the nude centrefold but had done so without consulting Packer which prompted him to immediately phone her to discuss the matter. In 2019, there were unsubstantiated reports the Seven Network was considering relaunching their own version of Midday. Also that same year, the Nine Network launched Australia's Top 10 Of Everything, a show featuring a look at all things nostagia including clips of interviews and segments from past and present flagship Nine programs including clips from Midday. Since the programs inception in 2019,it has been rerun numerous times. Ongoing tension between Midday hosts Derryn Hinch and Kerri-Anne Kennerley has also kept attention on the program. In 2020, there was reported speculation that the Nine Network was considering relaunching the Midday show in the near future with Kerri-Anne Kennerley and Samantha Armytage touted as potential hosts. Should a revival ever proceed, it is likely that the potential refreshed program would move away from the 80s, 90s variety halcyon days and replicate a format similar to Today Extra with heavy informercial content.
