Channel 7 broadcaster Larry Emdur has jokingly claimed he was about to slap his co-host Liam Tapper in the face after the latter left him and Kylie Gillies stumped with a brain-teaser challenge on live television.

Introducing the segment, Tapper revealed on The Morning Show that several members of Australian V8 Supercars team, Red Bull Ampole Racing, had been attempting the challenge but had been left perplexed.

Tapper described the challenge, stating that participants are asked to get a piece of A4 paper, cut a hole in the middle of it and then poke their head through the hole without breaking the paper.

The supercars drivers shared their results on TikTok but none of them could figure out how to complete the challenge.

Tapper, then challenged Emdur and Gillies to the brain-teaser, but the pair were equally left stumped.

‘Liam, can I ask you a question? You’ve seen my ears,’ Emdur joked.

‘You have to poke your head through the hole,’ Liam said before, Gillies folded the piece of paper in half and put it under her chin.

‘I think it’s got to be something like this,’ she said.

Emdur went on to pull the entire piece of paper down over his head, tearing it in the process.

That was when Tapper stepped in to show them how to complete the move, grabbing a piece of paper and poking his finger onto his forehead, through the hole – much to the frustration of his co-hosts.

‘I learned this not just from the Red Bull team but also because of being a dad, so I would have thought you’d have been across this Larry,’ Tapper began.

‘Poke your head through the hole,’ he said laughing at the play on words.

Emdur then addressed his co-host, joking: ‘Liam, Liam, this is not fricking Romper Room, mate!’

‘You don’t seem that impressed Larry,’ Tapper said.

Tapper then revealed that the brain teaser was a play on words, poking his arm through the hole in the paper and tapping his head 

Upon revealing how to complete the challenge Emdur (left) was left stumped but joked he was going to ‘slap Tapper’s face through the hole’ 

‘Liam, we are the top-rated morning show in all of Australasia,’ Emdur said.

He then said firmly tongue-in-cheek: ‘If you do something like that again I’m going to slap your face through the hole. 

‘That was good I quite liked that.’

He then added, laughing to Gillies: ‘Do you know what, I wasn’t going to come to work today but I’m glad I did.’
