When the Today show went to the Wii Olympics

By David Knox on March 5, 2010 / Filed Under News 33

Apparently Ellen DeGeneres has now picked up on a rather fetching moment recently on the Today show when Karl and Lisa played Winter Olympics sports on a Wii.

If you haven’t seen it, the The 7PM Project recently spotted it, as you can see by this clip.

Worth a belated look….

    I reckon good on Lisa and Karl for having a bit of fun. I thought it was hysterical.

    carl is a moron and lisa looks like a squared headed old witch. morning tv is the WORST, such credible “journalists”.

    It made “your moment of zen” on the Daily Show too.

    I was someone that used to dislike Karl intensely, but after seeing him grill Tony Abbott about meeting Rupert Murdoch, my opinion of him has done a full 360 degrees. I think I finally “get” Karl – he is just a daggy kid at heart but is actually a very astute and intelligent journalist inside. Kudos Karl. I have always loved Lisa – she is very genuine and extremely intelligent and classy – Kudos Lisa. Loved seeing her and Karl have fun on the Wii.

    Haha that’s gold!
    But the game’s not Wii Fit Olympics, it’s Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics (Vancouver Olympics with Mario and Sonic characters).

    You guys are Gold…! Thanks for making me laugh….Good stuff Karl – what a way to offset your drunken night at the Logies…

    Didn’t Saturday Night Live do this last year with Alec Baldwin playing Wario Shake?

    At least, this has proven Today to be not a one hit wonder, not like the single thing Sunrise did that became viral, i.e. The Chaser’s “Divorce Me” segment.

    that what i like about Today…they have gone from a stuffy serious news breakfast show , to something that can take the pi** out of them selves awesome stuff guys…and dont worry they can turn the seriousness on at a drop of a hat

  20. Dan March 5, 2010 at 2:27 pm -

    LMFAO, That’s the frist time I’ve seen that. Pure gold!

  21. Benjamin March 5, 2010 at 2:13 pm -

    Poor Ch 9 & the ‘Today Show’, it seems that they have become the source of jokes that American shows & comedians can use. the last time this happened was when Richard Wilkins thought Jeff Goldblum ‘died’ in NZ, only Stephen Colbert had Jeff Goldblum on his show to spoof Richard Wilkins.

  22. damo March 5, 2010 at 2:01 pm -

    that’s gold. that’s a pi**er. better than any boring jokes kochie could do

  23. brisvegas March 5, 2010 at 1:13 pm -

    yeah, saw this when it happened. It was a case of “i dont believe what im seeing”….very very funny stuff.

    I officially obsolve you of your logie sins Karl :)

  24. Steph March 5, 2010 at 12:51 pm -

    Brilliant!

    Attack Of The Show also screened it on G4. Their hosts and audience peed themselves laughing and the male host was dry humping the female host when they came back from the Today Show video.

    I saw that when it aired. LMAO at the time, and did again just then. It was a bit post-modern though, as I watched the youtube clip here, channel Nine morning news showed a story on Ellen watching the clip. Talk about weird coincidence.

  27. james March 5, 2010 at 11:40 am -

    when will we see Ellen DeGeneres talk about this

  28. koverstreet March 5, 2010 at 11:37 am -

    LMAO that’s Gold!!

  29. KFed March 5, 2010 at 11:33 am -

    TMZ did too (possibly first).

  30. chk chk March 5, 2010 at 11:23 am -

    I’ve read that Jay Leno has also picked up on this.

  31. mac March 5, 2010 at 11:22 am -

    it was on jay leno as well.

  32. Michael March 5, 2010 at 11:14 am -

    Who says Carl is only an idiot when he’s loaded from the logies after party!

    Portia was watching the 7pm Project and tipped her off on the clip.
