Karl Stefanovic storms off Today set after his NSW origin revealed

[@BadDriversOfTheIllawarra]

Karl drives an HSV GTS, he just became an even bigger legend.

[@InfamoushqAustralia]

With pacemaker extractors, never-the-less!

[@adamcarr1920]

drives a GTS to overcompensate for his small dick. lol

[@thehandyman2180]

Bad Drivers Of The Illawarra Ok, that's good.

[@fearnobeer9077]

Just an upgrade to the original bogan mover, the commodore

[@MRJAYWILSON]

More like an even bigger cockhead, HSV! wash your mouth out 😂😂

[@Pinktree513]

hahaha Lisa was classic in this "get that up ya karlos" "good kangaroo hops there karlos"

[@DamonDeLarge]

All these 'geniuses' in the comments saying how it is fake. Well, no shit captain obvious, of course it was staged. This wasn't meant to be taken seriously. This is a JOKE. They're doing it for a laugh.

[@1ceYourPimpHand]

+DamonDeLarge "This is a JOKE. They're doing it for a laugh." I thought it being a joke is obvious, thus it being unnecessary to point it out? Sounds like you used it an excuse to call it fake because you were going to get cold sweats in the middle of the night if someone thought it was real.

[@mwidenst]

They pull these joke-stunts all of the time, and they are always funny :-)

[@thehandyman2180]

DamonDeLarge Even if it was staged, why, would they do that, it looked pretty real to me.

[@Liamnerfdude1]

it was a joke but off script easily. Karl wasnt as mad as he was.

[@thehandyman2180]

Fucked Yoda Are you talking to me.

[@nothingbetter2dosigh]

This actually gave Karl respect in my eyes.

[@Faceworthy]

Of course it was staged, that doesn't mean its not funny.

[@JakeRoot]

OKAY I'm from America, and I've enjoyed many hours watching "Today Show Funny Bits" (I find Nine Network's Today to be much funnier than our Today Show). In that time I have come to adore Karl and his co-anchors. I don't fully understand what Karl's problem is. Is he not proud of being from NSW? Does he just like the winning teams? Is he distant from Pete and didn't appreciate the tweet? I don't understand what is happening. Lol.

[@hessian1235]

Australians are known to be proud of their state. Especially around the time of 'State of Origin' (A competition between the states of NSW and Queensland in NRL) and Karl Stefanovic has always been a very proud Queenslander. Since State of Origin represents the place in which the NRL players played their junior years of Rugby League, they decided to break Karl by revealing that he originated from New South Wales and NOT Queensland. I'm from NSW and I'd react the same way as him. Must be an Australian thing.

[@Venomknight2208]

Scott Williamson There is a rumor he gave the arse to the producer just to get a job.

[@normturner4849]

I see none of these other pinheads except the Captain have answered you properly. It was staged to demonstrate the passions and difficulty that arises when the best football players are made to play for the opposing state, even if they had only left as kids after starting their junior football there. All understand this going in, though. Normally good natured. The 3-game series is called 'State of Origin', which is why Lisa kept repeating it. None of these people would really continue to annoy Karl in this way-they all love each other. Karl drives a hot car tho❗️Commodore HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) GTS

[@leighhajek6183]

Welcome to Aussie humour

[@johntaylor289]

man, you guys are ignorant, this is staged and Karl is the livelihood of the show basically the only reason many people watch it.

[@normturner4849]

John Taylor Well, duuuhhh!

[@tyronezarate8784]

Norm Turner fuck off

[@normturner4849]

And who the hell are you to say that Tyrone? Grow up. This is not the forum for abusive language. Try an intelligent comment, or can't your brain come up with anything else?🖕🏼😤

[@tyronezarate8784]

Norm Turner who are u to say duuuhhh you do realise that "well duh" is seven years old, right?

[@normturner4849]

Well that's precise. What age is 'fuck off' to a stranger indicative of? More importantly, what intelligence did it take for you to come up with that when you weren't even the recipient? Pathetic troll. Grow a brain. I'm out. 🖕🏼😠👿

[@tamara229]

State of origin is an NRL yearly match where a NSW and QLD team verse eachother. It is a 3 game series, and the teams are made of, or meant to be made of, players that originate from the respective state. But some players were born in and played their first games of NRL in the state which they are pitted up against. Greg Inglis is an example of this. Born in NSW, his first junior team was in NSW yet he plays for QLD.

[@gordopark13]

Haha Greg Inglis born and plays junior footy in NSW plays for Brisbane North Devils under 18s classified as a Queenslander. Never betray your state!

[@iannnk]

"You've got a car that looks like a Queenslander" "I am a half bogan, you know that!" HAHAHAHAHA

[@adrieldefatima7014]

Karl is such a legend

[@grumpyold790]

always the showman Karl

[@goodchristianboy7053]

I liked how the guys was still pushing his buttons after he did his big rage

[@MrRicohogan]

The Stefanovic brothers, the reason I watch Sunrise in the morning and Ten News in the evening.

[@colaboytje]

Ofcourse it's staged. The tweet came from his brother.

[@SmithyAce]

Annnddd upon seeing Karls car of choice... I think i love this man.

[@joh1727]

He drives a Mercedes now (i know this is 9yrs ago 👍)

[@britneyspaulding]

i only started watching today so i could watch his next freak out

[@boodgy1818]

Peter Sterling was born in Toowoomba

[@jennysimmonds6800]

Yes, We call it State of Origin and it is a football series between Queensland and New South Wales, both states in Australia. Typically you support the state in which you were born or first played football in (hence State of Origin) however some people support the state they currently live in or spent the most time in.

[@ajnode]

As opposed to your country, where every citizen fights tirelessly to stay on the important issues?

[@arthurwatts1680]

Yup - nothing like debating one's bogan origins after Lisa told him to 'Get that one up ya !'. Karl did his time in Rocky - having lived there for 4 1/2 long years, that has to be worth something to the 'Queenslander' cheer squad at Lang Park.

[@ejectorseatreservation3869]

I wish my country had a cool morning crew like this.

[@NB-ky5ol]

I’m from the US. Australian TV and British TV far surpass ours. Our morning shows are complete shit. I’m a big fan of Today and I’m so glad I can watch it in here!

[@greenshackdotinfo7066]

Nah. It's about a game between to state teams, Queensland & Australia.Players chosen based on the state where they initially played their first class match not on birth.You can support whomever you like.

[@Samuelvgates]

The random shot of Stevie drinking tea's the best, hahahahaha.

[@Espectro101]

Could this be any more staged? Karl even kept his lapel microphone on as he drove is car away....

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

Today viewers are well, not the brightest crayons in the box.

[@LumFan]

MrStGeorgeIllawarra I already said it was a joke. They weren't trying to trick anyone.

[@jimmiow]

MrStGeorgeIllawarra Hmmm seems like you're the dull crayon seeing as was quite obviously staged just for a laugh.

[@alkaline8608]

Its a joke, thats the point.

[@DarcyIsLame]

It’s like 2 toddlers fighting but mature and in tuxedos 😂

[@kaeldotis]

Lisa summed it up perfectly though: "'State Of ORIGIN', three simple words"

[@senpaisanchoyt5225]

I don't get why its a big deal... Could someone who knows explain?

[@neilisCLUTCH]

Queensland & New South Wales* Players are eligble based on state of birth, or state where they played their first junior rugby league match.

[@gamer69ful]

Can someone please explain to me what this is all about I'm confused :/

[@ditbot]

Oh Karl, you'll always be our Ron Burgundy! Bless you

[@alanerskine1]

He made one slight typo - give the guy a break.

[@superleetmegapunx]

It seems pretty normal everywhere there are people.

[@lavcemon]

I didnt know Australia was a state within itself. You mean New South Wales

[@mattvidler1986]

you mean between Queensland and New South Wales.

[@alanerskine1]

Of course, they just happen to have a portable, outdoor camera set up just on the off-chance of something happening. Set-up being the operative phrase here.

[@benjamincollins8559]

It's like giving your personal information. For me, I would only say crystal lake Illinois. I know the citizens of Australia would pronounce it differently. For Example Sidney, Australia.

[@lukesmith606]

Love it! Sports dude is a legend! 'I'm part bogan too mate!' LOL

[@HSimon1981]

Carlos it's ok mate I was born in New Zealand

[@Tron9222]

poor Karl, he may be from NSW but he was raised to be a Queenslander, if that's how he sees himself, so be it, where you come from does not define you

[@kaeldotis]

Clearly your comment personifies sportsmanship.

[@SlyDragoon17]

Of course not! Such a foolish question! We can't pay attention to other things such as reforming our stagnant political system, maintain national interests or managing our absorbent retail costs. We have rugby to worry about! That's far more important than anything!

[@ukspeedy1048]

He’s right to storm off if he dosnt want personal info being shared who are they to reveal it, just unessasary

[@rivaldowade]

Thanks mum

[@PKRfiend]

Everyone knows state of origin is not where you were born but where you were when you were 16.

[@ThejohnnyZzzz]

Why would he be fired , he's the best there is out there

[@alanerskine1]

So, was Sefanovic on air on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning?

[@BrotherTree1]

This is good shit.

[@GreatMochaChino]

His period in television is all over the place

[@thehandyman2180]

I actualy saw him in bunings once, & lisa in the rta @ chatswood, a year or to ago.

[@mywordcount]

Correct...

[@KC_Tubelord]

The State of Origin isn't about place of birth, it's where they played their first senior level NRL. Maybe Karl did his first tv work in QLD, sooo...

[@MafiaboysWorld]

Oh & and NSW police might want to confiscate his car under "anti-hoon" laws.

[@Hypergaming247]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHJAHAJAJAHA THAT WAS TO FARR WE ARE SUPOSSES TO BE MATES LMAOO

[@robloxkatelyn8899]

Australia's most CUB

[@SmokenRubber]

I would have bagged it up prior to departure.

[@itz_brandon9364]

Legend still to this day

[@jasonhockly8655]

Now that's a real origin. Mate against mate

[@TheDragon0287]

Not familiar with this show. Why did Karl get so upset at the question,and why was the question relevant?

[@allanmckenzie6696]

To cut a long story short, in Australia they have intense sporting rivalry between two states: Queensland and New South Wales, because of State of Origin rugby league (3-match series mid year). Both states are very passionate about where they come from and where they're state loyalties lie. I think this segment on the Today Show was just staged.

[@xing0318]

sick HSV tho

[@TheDarthMoron]

Yes, yes it is.

[@Aus_Dan]

baha ha ha Paul Gallen hits like man, dropped your bloke! lol

[@bianchitv8833]

Its attaully where u played your first footy

[@louielouiepks]

The Donald says "Fake news"

[@MrHurpadur]

NSW vs QLD is probably the biggest rivalry in Australian sport. Also, we give eachother shit, A LOT of shit, just like this. And this is most likely completely set up.

[@MexiMumbles]

Karl is a legend!

[@johnathanferris7182]

I fucking love that guy. Karl is hilarious.

[@pbro1982]

Karl is hilarious! GO QUEENSLAND!

[@Alphasixnova]

State of origin is the state you first played football. Not where your born.

[@thomasbisset1136]

well the eligibility criteria is based on where you played your first club game. also, since the whole james tamou fiasco, you now have to have lived in that state before the age of 13. that is how it works and that was set up by the powers that be.

[@dippyduk1]

Hahah Karl is a fucken stand up Australian love ya work mate.

[@havingfun8237]

I was born in NSW go the Queenslanders Come on ozzi come on come on

[@paullarsen8445]

I dunno if this is fake or not but I welcome anyone who wants to cheer on QLD no matter who they are or where they come from if you wear maroon every year and cheer on our legend state your a Queenslanda. Keep cheerin Carl ( I wouldnt like being called a welsh man niether. )

[@elijah111]

They are good ACTORS.

[@wattlegreen2312]

Its a free country, he can pick his own team.

[@llionstephen8224]

ozzy man reviews should cover this

[@reneecrotty6910]

Honestly they shouldn't have kept teasing him... That was childish

[@MichaelWing92]

I respect him more for the car he drives!

[@samuelpatterson5174]

it's called HSV mate.

[@rivaldowade]

it just a game buddy, a game liked in two states in one country

[@Jzma96]

If there is a rule that says you must support where you were born then ill support nsw. But since my fav players play for qld. I go for qld

[@finn4435]

I have no context at all lol what is the issue here? He's not from where he claims to be from?

[@OfficialALTernative1]

Lmao ive never seen karl so serious lol and stevie was just like om nom nom enjoying the show XD poor bennie hope they stay friends XD

[@MadMax-ji8tq]

Turn yr traction control off, if yr going to lay rubber

[@ddmmh]

Cool story bro

[@blank.9301]

HSV gts club sport oof

[@protectaa]

well tbh if you say you are born there and you're not, then they should be able to hold him accountable for it. XD not that its a big deal.. though he is making a bigger scene

[@mshepherd324]

Just checking, no one actually believes this is real and wasn’t staged, right?

[@TheMelwynau]

"Good luck without me". LOL they'll be just fine without you buddy

[@superravmanrampage]

1:40 Is that Karlos giving the finger? Legend haha

[@XperfectlyClearX]

Blame the Americans. I mean they still think "reality" shows are real LMAOOOOO

[@bluemager1]

ooooo cant be a setup

[@atommuffin]

Yeah, where is the love, mate?

[@presidentoxford]

Who would admit to being born in Darlinghurst, Sydney ???!!!

[@CommentCriticiser]

Queensland and Australia was a joke, I think.

[@yamahadrummer2012]

Hahaha, what professionalism he puts on there.

[@brendonrookes1151]

his right tho they swap players all the time nsw players have played for qld n vice versa

[@KC_Tubelord]

What sport/code? Certainly not State of Origin.

[@goldenhawk952]

It's not where you're born It's state of origin not state of birth place
