The perils of live TV! Natalie Barr gasps over a VERY rude remark during Sam Mac’s weather cross as he interviews two young women at Balmoral Beach
It’s not every day you hear the word ‘cornhole’ on live television.
So it’s no wonder Sunrise host Natalie Barr was taken by surprise when the word popped up during Sam Mac’s weather cross on Tuesday.
Sam was broadcasting from Balmoral Beach in Sydney when he approached two young women who were playing a game and asked them what it was called.

The women said they were playing ‘Cornhole’, prompting Natalie to gasp and say ‘What?!’ from the studio.
In addition to being a popular lawn game, ‘cornhole’ is also a slang term for a taboo sex act.
It would appear Natalie thought the women were making a crude joke.
It’s not what you think, Nat! Sam was presenting the weather from Balmoral Beach when he approached two women who were playing a game and asked them what it was called. They said they were playing ‘Cornhole’, prompting Natalie to gasp and say ‘What?!’ from the studio
Lost in translation! In addition to being a popular lawn game, ‘cornhole’ is also a slang term for a taboo sex act. It would appear Natalie thought the women were making a crude joke
Explaining the rules of Cornhole to Sam, one beachgoer said: ‘It’s like little beanbags, and you try and under-arm it [into the hole]’.
‘There you go, we’ve learned a new game for summer,’ Sam replied, trying his hardest not to burst into laughter.
‘I think Cornhole is really going to catch on this summer. I can see it being exclusively on Seven. We’re going to get the rights to the Cornhole world championships!’ he added.
Back in the studio, Natalie admitted she’d ‘never heard of Cornhole before’ and genuinely couldn’t believe it was a popular game.
Fill-in presenter Michael Usher insisted it was very popular in his home city of Perth, explaining: ‘It’s an old WA thing.’
Natalie, who also grew up in Western Australia, giggled: ‘Except the other person from WA has never heard of it!’
