Karl Stefanovic called out by his Today show co-hosts over sickening garbage bin act during commercial break: 'Disgusting'
Karl Stefanovic shocked his Today show colleagues on Tuesday morning when he ate the scraps of co-star Jayne Azzopardi's discarded breakfast. The shock moment saw Karl, 50, grab the remains of a quiche that Jayne, 45, had placed into a rubbish bin. In a video, which appeared to have been captured on a mobile phone, Karl rummaged through the bin and took a bite during a report Jayne was conducting about the Ibis scavenger bird, nicknamed the 'bin chicken', which has developed a reputation for stealing food from wheelie bins. 'Does anyone have any hacks for when your bin doesn't have a lid and it is actually your co-worker eating the food?' Jayne quipped, as the camera cut to Karl grabbing the discarded pastry and appearing to take a bite. 'Karl, that's disgusting!', his co-host Sarah Abo quipped.

I devote my life to you and Sarah and you go an do the dirty on me like that,' Karl retorted. 'So for anyone wondering, that is the remains of my breakfast,' Jayne told the studio. The moment appeared to be a skit by Karl and Jayne, as it coincided with her report on the Ibis bird. 'When the quiche is so good you turn into a bin chicken,' the Today show captioned the footage, which was shared to Instagram. Karl has developed a reputation for exchanging amusing banter with his co-hosts. Earlier this month, Karl appeared to take a cheeky dig at Today fill-in co-host Jayne Azzopardi for driving a Mazda. During the show, Karl and Jayne interviewed four Mazda car salesmen who have gone viral online after posting clips of themselves dancing erotically in order to get more people to the car dealership. After the men reenacted the dancing video, Karl cooled off Jayne with a fan, teasing her for finding the sexy clip online while 'researching'. Karl's co-star Sarah Abo labelled the act as 'disgusting' 'Of all the stories in the world...' he quipped. 'I'm a mum! I became a mum and I bought a Mazda,' Jayne told Karl, who retorted: 'Oh mums don't like sexy stuff?' She went on to say she found the clip because it was Mazda, not because of the sexy dancing. 'Oh, you want a Mazda?' Karl asked his co-host as he lowered his eyebrows. 'No, I drive one already,' she told him. The host then quipped: 'Oh, well you've gotta get a new one now!'

The two were discussing a novelty race for banged-up old cars when Karl alluded to the paparazzi photos published by Daily Mail Australia. '[Check out] this colourful convoy of crappy cars,' he began. 'Talking about crappy cars, wait until you see what Sarah was driving around yesterday when she was paparazzied [sic] driving around her new home town.'

Karl used to drive around in a $180,000 Mercedes-Benz and was once seen in the driver's seat of a $300,000 vintage Land Rover. He also made headlines in 2017 after he test drove a $163,000 silver Mercedes and was spotted in $295,000 AMG Benz Coupe in the same week. At the time, Karl was often spotted cruising around town in his white Mercedes, but had been seen in three newer vehicles in the space of a week.

Awkward moment Karl Stefanovic discusses Australia's richest people - after his huge pay gap with co-host Sarah Abo is revealed in similar list
Karl Stefanovic experienced an awkward moment during a segment on Thursday's Today show about Australia's richest people. The veteran presenter, 50, was discussing The Financial Review Rich List when reporter Jayne Azzopardi said Gina Rinehart topped the list with a whopping $38.1 billion. ' New South Wales has been named as the wealthiest state. It is home to 81 Rich Listers,' Jayne told co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo. 'However, Gina Rinehart's wealth dropped by $2billion!' Karl then revealed his theory as to why her fortune slightly dipped. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'You see, she gives so much away to charity,' Karl said. In a bizarre moment, Karl then trailed off about his own friendship with Rinehart and her love of good quality meat. He said he had personally dined with the Aussie heiress and said she served only the finest cuts. 'Her steak - have you eaten her meat? She's got delicious meat, some of the best steak I have ever had. That will surprise no one, that I have eaten really expensive steak,' Karl boasted. Sarah then asked Karl what one of Gina's prize steaks was worth, but he remained tight-lipped. The segment follows reports that disputes over pay parity in TV Land could be set to erupt again following a bombshell report revealing the salaries of Australian television's brightest stars. The Australian's inaugural TV Rich List report claimed that Nine star Karl is currently being paid an eye-watering $2million more than his co-host Sarah. The report has collated the 35 highest salaries among TV stars on Australia's three commercial networks - Channel Seven, Nine and Network 10. It revealed he was the highest paid small screen star, bringing home a formidable $2.8million annually, making almost three times as much as Sarah, 39. This is in stark contrast to his Today counterpart who comes in at tenth place with a salary of $800,000. It was also reported that his salary is almost as much as sitting chief executive Matt Stanton ($1.6 million) and his predecessor Mike Sneesby ($1.5 million) combined. It appears that Nine has the deepest pockets out of the three commercial networks, with six of its stars making the top ten. The Block host Scott Cam trailed close behind Stefanovic on $2.4million, while Lego Masters star Hamish Blake sits third on $2million. The top ten Nine contingent is rounded out by newsreaders Alison Langdon ($1.2million), Peter Overton ($1 million) and Sarah. Meanwhile Seven's highest paid star, Gold Logie winner Larry Emdur, sits in fourth place on $1.6million, while Sunrise host Natalie Barr came in fifth on $1.3million. While there is quite a considerable gulf in salary between Karl and Sarah, the former has been in the Today chair for almost two decades while his co-host joined in 2023. Karl wears a few different caps at Nine, having worked as a reporter on 60 Minutes as well as helming the short-lived series, This Time Next Year.
