He featured on the programme back in May last year when he celebrated 50 years on ABC. Chatting to the presenters, he attributed his long career to "a lot of perseverance".  

Kelly went on to praise her boss, giving an insight into what he is like as a person. "Art was my first friend here. He really was. My first work friend and I'll never forget it. You were a tremendously kind person to me and everybody I know," she said. 

"You remember people's wedding anniversaries, I mean everyone's! He is the first phone call when something wonderful happens and the first phone call when something terrible happens. A steady, steady presence."

​​​​​​​​She continued: "I've said it before and I'll say it again. The number one person you want to sit next to on an airplane flight anywhere is Art Moore…Not just because he knows how to order a bloody mary in the right way it should be served but his stories are so mesmerizing and interesting and fascinating. He literally was there for the birth of television. He was there!"
