A long-time panellist on The Project has become emotional while reminiscing on his time at the legendary show.
A tear welled up in the eye of Steve Price, a long-term media commentator and television and radio host, appeared regularly on the show for some 15 years and a tear welled up in his eye as he say goodbye on Monday night.
The recently axed show will stop airing on Friday and Monday marked Mr Price's final appearance.
He appeared as a panellist since the show first aired in 2009 as The 7PM Project before its name was changed to The Project in 2011.
When asked by a fellow host how he was feeling about the show concluding, he said he was 'sad'.

'I don't know what I'm going to do next Monday night,' he said.
'My daughter Kate is here tonight and she was 11 when I started doing this, so she was still in primary school.
'I've been very privileged to sit here. I've always been amazed that an old white guy like me sitting on the end of the bench was ever going to be allowed to stay for more than a week and I stayed here for 15 years.'
Price, who also hosts a Friday evening program on Sky News, writes columns for the Saturday Herald Sun and has previously worked in radio.
He praised his co-hosts and saluted the people who worked behind-the-scenes on the show.
'The on-air hosts have been fantastic. They've all been very generous and kind to me,' he said.
