They are huge shoes to fill - but the search is now on to find a replacement for long-running BBC Breakfast host Louise Minchin.
Louise shocked viewers when she announced live on air that she was stepping down from the show last month.
She said it was "time I stopped setting my alarm for 0340 in the morning" as co-host Dan Walker watched on.
While Louise said at the time she would not be leaving until after the summer, the BBC has now put out an official job advert to recruit for her replacement.
The job description reads: "A BBC Breakfast presenter needs to combine the knowledge and confidence to deal with the main stories and the ability to entertain and inform millions of viewers
"We are looking for someone with significant broadcasting experience who is confident at setting the day’s agenda in a way that is relevant and relatable to the BBC Breakfast audience."
As the role will be based at the BBC's MediaCityUK studios, the applicant will also need to appreciate the charms of Salford.
The job is seen as one of the biggest roles in medialand, and the rumour mill has already been churning with names in the mix, including popular BBC Breakfast sports presenter Sally Nugent, Good Morning Britain's Ranvir Singh and regular weekend BBC Breakfast stand-in, Radio Five Live's Rachel Burden among the favourites.
In announcing her departure in June, Louise, 52, said: "I'm going to take a bit of a deep breath.
"So everybody, there's something I want to tell you about.
"It will be this year 20 years since I first presented this programme and since then I have felt part of a huge, enormous, BBC Breakfast family which includes everyone who works here, everyone in the team and every one of you who watches the programme.
"I have loved being a part of it, but, I have decided it is time I stopped setting my alarm for 3.40, sometime when I'm feeling really rebellious 3.46 in the morning and I'm going to be leaving the programme."
Minchin has presented the BBC One morning programme since 2001, becoming one of its lead presenters in 2012 when production moved to Salford.
There are four lead presenters on the show who split the week - Louise and Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
Louise said she would leave "some time after the summer" and would take "lots of happy memories" away.
"We've had fun times. We've had some incredible guests. I love hearing people's stories, I love being able to tell their stories."
Asked what she would do next, she replied: "Anybody who watches will be very well aware my passion is endurance sport, and I will absolutely continue to do that.
"I've got lots of really exciting adventures planned. I'm trying to write a book about that as well.
"And I'll continue with my podcast, which is all about the mental and physical benefits of sport and exercise.
"And I'll be having lots of lie-ins. That's what I'm most excited about right now."
