Lisa took a four-week break following her infamous Logies acceptance speech for Most Outstanding News Coverage or Public Affairs Report for her 2021 interview with Brittany Higgins.
According to The Australian, Lisa's absence was due to the "high emotional 'toll'" from the speech and rather than returning to the desk, she was "quietly and securely whisked out of Australia and into Los Angeles".
The publication claims Lisa "will now make the US her base" for the coming weeks and will file interviews with A-list stars.
The trip was already planned as part of Lisa's annual leave, but her absence from the show was extended.
