He is a legend! In 2014, he wore the same suit for a year and no one noticed. He did it to highlight sexism in the media. Lisa’s clothing was constantly judged but he could wear whatever. Excellent point Karl!
They are not together. Lisa is married to a Rugby Union player retired snd has been for years. Karl left his long term marriage and remarried a younger faster model. Pete he was talking to is his brother also a journalist.
Karl's exchange with the Dalai Lama is one of my all time favourite pieces of TV... The fact that he doubles down on the joke. Its a gift that just keeps giving.
Yeah, we keep laughing, can't believe how lucky we are. We call our country "the Lucky Country" because the laugh is on the Brits. They sent us out in chains and - Boy! - did we land on our feet, haven't stopped laughing since, here on the edge of the South Pacific,, far away from the World and it's troubles, can't believe our good fortune!
To give you an idea of this guy's true character, he wore the same suit on air every day for a year. His reason was his female co-hosts were being constantly commented on & attacked & judged for what they wore, instead of what they did, so he wanted to support them by showing the s^xism they were having to deal with. No-one noticed his suit btw, a year on he revealed it
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 yup that's what's sadest isn't it! The vast majority of the attacks & converting conversations from journalism into "why did she wear that" were from other women!
Karl and Lisa have been doing the show together for years. This program is free to air. We call people like Karl a "character!" And yes most of us take things with a grain of salt and are apt to make light of most subjects. We have a knack of making ourselves the brunt of the joke and everyone has a good time :)
That totally describes the British too and possibly the Canadians, that's why whenever Americans say they and us are very alike, I always say 'Nah, we have much more in common with the wonderful Aussies' same sense of humour, penchant for swearing and slang words and a bit of a fondness for the old drinkipoos lol loved this guy, had to watch it twice over it was so funny....as an aside, although their slang is mostly different from ours we totally understand the meanings..fair dinkum 💕😊😀
I guess it takes being an Aussie to understand most of our humour- hopefully you’ll get there eventually mate- come over here for a while and you will never forget how much you learn about our humour, slang and love of our country 👍🏿❤️🇦🇺
Aussie humour has a lot in common with Brit humour it can be subtle and even subversive so it helps to understand the culture to have a grasp of context and meaning... Plus they are very down-to-earth so you have to recognise the mix of Brit and American in a truly unique country... They have the positivity of the American with the sarcasm and cynicism of the British, it creates a unique blend of humour...
If you can, please watch yesterdays Today Show” - Tuesday 9th August. You’ll see a completely different side of Karl as he comforts “entertainment host”, Richard ‘Dickie’ Wilkins as he breaks down life on air, reporting the passing of Olivia Newton John. Wilkins was a very close long time friend of ONJ and had received the call from her family on an a couple of hours at most, before the daily show went to air. Karl’s response to his friends pain was in true Aussie style. Out of his chair and arms around his friend, consoling him live on air and letting him know it was ok if he couldn’t continue, but offering support of he wanted to continue. He may be a buffoon most mornings, but yesterday saw a genuine and raw and special moment.
@@davidbarlow6860 Don't be so hard on him. He's a lovely guy and has a number of videos trying to understand Australia and Australians. He's in love with us and plans to visit here.
Karl has always flown by the seat of his pants. Literally meaning 100% No filter, no script, can't be held back and be tame. More like" this is me, I'm gonna say do what I want"". Not what most daytime producers want from your onscreen hosts.
Karl is on a Tv show that's free to watch. We have lots of free to air tv channels with some great content. We don't have to pay for shoes like Survivor, The Handmaid's Tale and many many more. We are very lucky to have so much free content!!
@12:45 that is Karl's brother who is a reporter. Karl Stefanovic hosting the Today show while drunk, you have a couple of seconds of it at 12:36, it was the morning after the 2009 Logies and he'd been drinking all night and not slept, btw the Logies is like the golden globes for Aussie tv, you should check it out, so funny and is considered a landmark moment in Australian cultural history 😜PS- The word you were unsure of... She said he was a Meddler🤗
AHA as an Aussie I couldn't help but have a little laugh and forget Americans have to pay for what's considered normal TV. If you were in Australia you wouldn't have to purchase anything for 20 years he was on every morning on free to air TV, growing up watching him as I think most Aussies did brings allot of nostalgia
Those ppl with the sausages in bread they were talking to, they were all just taking the piss outta the guy on the end they called a stoner (and yes, it means the same thing here). Looks like those other 3 ppl (the two chicks and the guy) were running a sausage sizzle at Bunnings, and they were saying Stoner Guy was their biggest supporter, and that he'd stopped for a snag before work. Then they were like 'yeah, I bet his boss'll be happy to see him on national TV when he's supposed to be at work' kinda thing, ie he'll get into shit when he gets to work if he's late.... so yeah... they were taking the piss outta him ;)
The Today show is on free to air TV, and not cable, and it airs Monday to Friday 5.30am to 9.00am. Karl is pretty well allowed to do what he wants within reason, and it's the spontaneity that people love. 🤗
That Delai Lama ordeal happened in my family's Aboriginal art gallery - it was... it was awful. I mean I thought it was kind of a funny joke honestly, but it fell flatter than any joke I'd ever seen delivered live or since. The whole interview was just so awkward. Good on Karl for doubling down and seeing if second time was the charm.
Wow that’s beautiful about your families gallery! And also to hear how awkward it was for Karl, he earned that one 😂 It’d be awesome if you could hook up with Ryan and introduce him to the beauty of Aboriginal culture, history, and of course, art!
i love your reactions man, being Aussie too its a good laugh watching someone appreciate how unique & absolutely fxcking nuts we are hahaha. i recently started a reaction video for my company, after watching a heap. i really enjoy all your videos brother, keep it up!
haha they aren't together, together haha he just meant they have been doing the show for x amount of years together. KArl is awesome haha recently he got arrested but the whole of Australia had his bad. was just a bit of coke hahahah
I'm an Aussie, but that's the first time I've watched Karl Stefanovic. He's hilarious! Maybe you should look up John Farnham or Jimmy Barnes, 2 of our iconic singers here in Aus. I'd love to see your reaction to them.
hmm agreed! I thought he already had, but it wss The Seekers & I still call Australia home he'd reacted to. He's also reacted to our National Anthem & from his reaction to that, especially to "girt", I'm thinking it would be great for him to react to "Adam Hills Advance Australia Fair" (which of course is to the tune of Jimmy Barnes Working class man).
@@mehere8038 Yes, that was also mentioned by my partner. Adam Hills does such an amazing job of it! Would love to hear Ryan's reaction to that for sure!
I like Karl, yes he's been at it for years, they tried to drop him after he left his wife for a younger model but their ratings took a dive so they brought him back.
@@marieantoinette1360 You can think it. I don't mind. The easily manipulated and the MK ultra'd are in the category you are in. I frankly don't care if you don't open up to reality at this stage because it is coming with the emergency broadcast service that will simultaneously tell you and the rest of the world quite a few details of what has been going on. Starlink will be making the EBS. There will be shocks and horrors and even a few people having heart attacks from the news but I'm just a happy person these days because I have been doing the research, the hard yards for a few years now so when it comes, maybe there will still be a few shocks that I am not aware of but for the most, I am confident that nothing said will phase me personally. If you had an ounce of common sense you would have noticed things aren't right in this world. For instance Biden is not the president of the US. There are so many signs - Boris Johnson was carted away ages ago when he supposedly was in hospital with covid. In fact the world thinks people that have died of covid really have. It's a code they have been taken to Gitmo. And won't you be surprised when you find out that Princess Di and JFK Jr live. There are celebrities that will be coming back that you think are dead like Robin Williams for instance. Look up ISMAEL PEREZ and start to wake up. Here, I'll help you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MHEBXTQd7F0.html That's him with a British truther. Want to see a listing of who has been executed? It is an old list archived but gives you a clue as to what you will be watching and hearing about: amg-news.com/archives/10052
@@melanieoakley8740 None of it is going to matter soon. The solar flash and the EBS will probably coincide and all the media who have been controlled cabal and against humanity will be rounded up and sent to prison and most likely shot. They have stopped hanging them. There is 10 days of darkness with no internet coming up and only one channel on TV where everyone sees the tribunals of those that were just arrested and on house arrest like Ellen, Oprah, Scott Morrison, and others. Their trials will be on TV and their executions. So brace yourself. It's very very near - I think within 9-10 days.
He started in 1982 and is a bit of a legend 🤣 also... "meddler" and the guy that's talking to him from Rome is his brother Peter, who is an international reporter.
I reserve the term Legend for someone who's done some good in the world. Not everyone is a fan of Karl. He may be a legend in his own mind, but many others view him as a loose cannon who forces his co-hosts and producers to be constantly dancing on edge, mopping up his messes and hosing down flames whenever he oversteps the mark. Which has been often. While he keeps getting paid the big bucks and listening to his admirers he doesn't learn from his mistakes. Sad but true.
Hi I’m from🇦🇺 and that was the funniest thing watching you react to Aussie humour. And trying to work out what they’re saying, so funny. Will be definitely watching some more.
You need to check out Agro's cartoon connection with Anne-marie, started as a kids show on Saturday morning but grew into a adult Saturday night laugh.
I can’t believe you didn’t know one of the greatest women singers of all time, Judith Durham of The Seekers. She has just passed away, what a voice, and a lovely lady.
Our Karl is notorious for enjoying a libation or three - which may or may not have played a role in some of the hijinks you saw in this compilation 😂 BTW, the Today show isn't on cable; it's on a free-to-air network. No, I can't believe they get away with it either 😅
This is actually free to air network known as channel 9, say NBC Equivalent. It is mostly the top rating free to air network in the country. Carl can have a lot of fun, but he’s also done some tremendously hard-hitting and insightful interviews with people from all over the world. Sometimes his professionalism slips, but rarely his integrity and never his popularity.
I think they tried to cancel him several times actually, but he brings such good ratings and there's a backlash of comments if they try. He's always on the edge in their eyes.
They've been together on TV for 8 years at that time. But her husband is a 6'6" Wallaby International Rugby forward. They are still married. I dunno if Karl has a death wish. Cheers!
To appreciate Australian humor even more, Ryan MUST watch some Kath & Kim or some of Jimmy Rees’ Meanwhile in Australia videos.. both are hilarious and I’m American :-)
Okay. Now you have to work your way through all of the old Rove Mc Manus’s interviews from his popular tv show… P.S. This wasn’t cable, it was free to air tv airing around 9:30 - 10:30 at night ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h1QKwdcqCo8.html
The reason you don't understand what they on about is because this clip doesn't show that full clips on the actual clips. So if I was foreigner then I wouldn't get it either. Over my head.
I’m really glad you liked Karl. He was up for a Gold Logie this year (Aussie tv awards). I thought he should have won. I really like him because underneath all his over the top behaviour, he seems really kind. As someone else mentioned, he wore the same suit everyday for a year to show how gender is perceived on breakfast tv. He’s very unapologetically real.
As an Aussie I absolutely love you reacting to Aussie doing our normal everyday activities😂 the today show is the only news show I can watch Karl is a legend 😂
