If Karl Stefanovic had plans to celebrate Australia Day, he’s going to be running a bit late.
The embarrassed-looking television host spent over an hour by the side of a busy Mosman street on Friday with a broken own car.
Stefanovic’s black $200,000 Mercedes coupe conked out on Rangers Ave, just after 11am, leaving the red-faced presenter with no option but to pop the bonnet and put the hazard lights on.
Breaking down with Today? If Karl Stefanovic had plans to celebrate Australia Day, he’s going to be running a bit late- the embarrassed-looking television host spent over an hour by the side of a busy Mosman street on Friday with a broken own car.
Amused residents joked with Stefanovic that he should have kept his ‘trusty Aussie Holden’.
‘Yeah thanks, why don’t you give me a hand and help me get my car started,’ Stefanovic joked with one resident, who offered his sympathy.
At one stage police arrived to speak with Stefanovic, but they left soon after being told a tow truck was on its way.

Traffic in the thoroughfare built up at times, with cars unable to get around Stefanovic’s broken down sedan.
When drivers spotted the tv host standing beside the car, some beeped their horns and waved.
Dressed in a dark navy suit and white shirt, Stefanovic paced beside the car waiting for help to arrive.
He chatted with a few motorists who stopped to offer support.
