Footage of Karl Stefanovic running naked through Channel Nine’s Sydney studio was re-aired on the Today show on Thursday morning.
And new co-host Georgia Gardner couldn’t resist mocking her colleague’s rather bold decision to bare all on breakfast TV.
Georgie, 48, joked that Karl was being ‘super sensitive’ after she suggested a ‘very small cricket ball’ was concealing his modesty in the video.

Karl explained that Georgie had ‘been having a crack’ that morning over footage of him running naked backstage in 2015
She responded: ‘I haven’t been having a crack! I just observed that was a very small cricket ball. That’s all I did.’
‘It’s actually a very large cricket ball, I’ll have you know,’ Karl insisted.
‘I just observed that was a very small cricket ball. That’s all’: Karl suggested co-host Georgie had been ‘having a crack’ about his nudie run, but that didn’t stop her from further jokes
‘It is almost not even there’: Sylvia had also joined in on the mocking, to which Karl appeared to take it in good humour
‘Super sensitive this morning,’ Georgie added.
The nudie run footage, which first aired three years ago, was replayed before 6am on Thursday’s breakfast show.
During the segment, newsreader Sylvia Jeffreys also took a jab at her brother-in-law.
‘It is almost not even there,’ she joked, with Georgie agreeing: ‘I mean, blink and you miss it, Sylvia!’
That’s brave! The breakfast TV host ran through the Today Show studio covered by nothing but a strategically-placed cricket ball graphic in 2015 after losing a bet
In 2015, Karl famously ran through the Today studio covered by nothing but a strategically-placed cricket ball graphic after losing a bet.
He claimed he would strip off if Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke didn’t score 100 runs against England at The Ashes.
And, unlucky for Karl, Clarke was caught out for just 10 runs during the Ashes.
His nudie run caused co-hosts Lisa Wilkinson and Richard Wilkins and guest Nikki Gemmell to burst into laughter.
Richard joked at the time: ‘Wow! I can’t believe he did that… Thank goodness for that little ball there.’
Wager: He bravely tweeted that he would strip off if Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke didn’t score 100 runs against England at The Ashes, and unlucky for Karl, Clarke was caught out for just 10 runs at The Ashes
