The Morning Show is an Australian morning talk show on the Seven Network. The show is presented by Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur and airs between 9:15am and 11:30am on weekdays and follows Seven's breakfast news program Sunrise, with both programs closely interlinked, the program features infotainment, celebrity interviews and live music performances. On weekends, a highlights show is aired between 10am and 11am on Saturdays and Sundays featuring segments from the week.

The show premiered on the Seven Network on 16 June 2007 and originally aired between 9am and 11:00am on weekdays. Adam Boland was the original executive producer of the show and promised to deliver a mix of news and views, new music and regular segments covering health and fitness, astrology, celebrity gossip, cooking, counselling and fashion. Boland built the show on the success of Sunrise which he also produced.

The debut episode averaged 272,000 viewers, beating both 9am with David and Kim (147,000) and Mornings with Kerri Anne (126,000). Since its launch in June 2007 the show has rated first nearly every week against the Nine Network and Network Ten.

In March 2012, The Morning Show extended to a seven days a week broadcast schedule with highlights of the week airing on Saturdays and Sundays after Weekend Sunrise.

On 15 December 2014, The Morning Show was live to air as the 2014 Sydney hostage crisis occurred across Martin Place from their Channel Seven studio. The program continued to broadcast live pictures from their studio's windows, before all staff (including co-hosts Emdur and Gillies) were forced to evacuate the building, with the network's news coverage switching to the station's Melbourne newsroom where Nick Etchells anchored rolling coverage.

The show's format is similar to Sunrise and consists of a mix of news, entertainment and information along with audience interaction through email, SMS and talkback. The show also features live and prerecorded advertorials similar to those featured in rival shows Mornings and Studio 10 The show is produced by the same team as Sunrise and broadcast live at the same Martin Place studio.
