Today star Danika Mason is left red-faced after dog Charlie causes mayhem in studio: 'What a day!'
Danika Mason was left scrambling on Friday morning after her dog Charlie caused adorable mayhem in the studio during a live broadcast. To mark Bring Your Dog to Work Day, the Today show sports reporter, 34, brought her beloved pet into work to perform some tricks - but things didn't quite go according to plan. Danika, dressed in a chic electric blue suit, attempted to deliver her sports bulletin while encouraging Charlie to sit politely with the help of a treat. But her on-air report quickly descended into chaos when Charlie began barking loudly, sparking another studio pup named Oscar to join in. Moments later, Charlie bolted across the set, running laps around the studio and running up to the desk of surprised co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, leaving Danika flustered. Despite the unexpected on-air moment, Danika took it all in good humour - later sharing a hilarious behind-the-scenes video to social media. 'Started in Bondi. Ended in studio with dog. What a day,' she captioned a clip showing herself posing confidently with Charlie. In February, it was revealed that Danika would be replacing Alex Cullen on Today after he was sensationally axed for accepting $50,000 from The Block billionaire Adrian Portelli. Danika said it was a dream come true to be sharing the Today desk with Sarah Abo, Karl Stefanovic, Jayne Azzopardi and Tim Davies. 'I'm truly honoured and so excited to be joining Today. It's been a dream of mine since I was a kid, waking up every morning to watch the show as I set my sights on a career in sports broadcasting,' she said in a statement to Daily Mail Australia. 'It's also a full-circle moment for me at Nine because, just 10 years ago, my first-ever job at the network was producing sport for Today. 'I'm also very grateful that I'll still be working with the Wide World of Sports crew on the footy every week throughout the NRL season.' Nine also revealed that US correspondent Alison Piotrowski has been appointed as co-host of Weekend Today. Charlie bolted across the set, running laps around the studio and running up to the desk of surprised co-hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, leaving Danika flustered She will join Clint Stanaway, Lizzie Pearl and Dan Anstey on the desk. 'After four years of crossing to the show from weird time zones across North America, it feels surreal to be waking up with Weekend Today back home in Australia,' Alison said. 'It's an honour, and I can't wait for the year ahead.' Danika previously presented Wide World of Sports and is a sideline reporter for Nine's NRL coverage. Daily Mail Australia previously revealed she was one of the front runners for Alex's presenting role on the breakfast show.

Today host Karl Stefanovic loses it as NRL player accidentally shows penis on live TV
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Nothing says 'It's Friday' quite like the Today Show throwing broadcast regulations to the wind and showing an unblurred penis on live TV. If you were tuning into the Channel 9 breakfast show around 6am this morning, Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo helmed a truly loose segment during Danika Mason's cross from Bondi Beach. The Sydney-based sports reporter was joined by retired Rugby League player Aaron Woods, who earlier made a bet with Stefanovic vowing to do a nudie run if NSW lost State of Origin game two. Alas, after the Blues lost to Queensland in Perth Wednesday night, Woods came good on his promise, stripping to his birthday suit and bolting toward the water as he dived into the surf, while Stefanovic, Abo and Mason broke into fits of laughter. Aaron Woods does a nudie run on TODAY. Karl and Sarah broke into fits of laughter from the studio. And while a bit of butt action was all in the script, Woods then did the unthinkable, turning around to face the camera leaving the poor unfortunate editors no time to blur his modesty. Cue terrified screams from Abo and newsreader Jayne Azzopardi. 'No! Don't show it!,' Abo howled, as Woods flashed a beaming smile. This wasn't the plan. Editors had no time to blur the scenes. The panellists dropped some cheeky innuendo over the chaotic scenes, with Mason musing the situation was 'the smallest sporting event I've seen.' 'I hope I get a Logie for this,' Mason added. Spare a thought for Danika Mason. Woods' nudie run comes after NSW premier Chris Minns earlier warned the athlete it was illegal to be naked in public. During a segment on Triple M Breakfast with Beau, Cat and Woodsy, Woods asked Minns if he'd be open to joining him on his naked quest. 'No. It's highly illegal,' Minns said. 'Why is this news to you guys? It's been illegal forever.' Originally published as Today host Karl Stefanovic loses it as NRL player accidentally shows penis on live TV

Leslie Bibb Reveals Why She and Sam Rockwell Haven't Married After 18 Years Together
On the June 16 episode of Today with Jenna & Friends, Leslie Bibb and Sam Rockwell opened up about their relationship to Jenna Bush Hager Bibb revealed why she does "not want to get married" to Rockwell after 18 years together The couple started dating in 2007, shortly after meeting at the Chateau Marmont in Los AngelesLeslie Bibb and Sam Rockwell won't be walking down the aisle any time soon. Even though the White Lotus season 3 costars have been in a relationship for 18 years, timing has nothing to do with why they aren't married. While co-hosting Today with Jenna & Friends on Monday, June 16, Bibb revealed the reason behind their decision not to tie the knot. 'Listen, I love Sam Rockwell,' Bibb, 51, told Jenna Bush Hager of the Oscar winner. 'I would put him in my pocket and carry him with me all the time. I love him. I do not want to get married.' "I feel like we are married!" she added. Rockwell, 56, brought up the topic of marriage early in their relationship, Bibb said, adding that she always shut down the idea. "It annoyed the crap out of me because he's like, 'Really, you don't want to get married?' " Bibb remembered. "I was like, 'Stop saying it. I already said I don't want to marry you. Stop asking me like I'm gonna pull like a sneak on you.' But he didn't want it either." 'Maybe it's probably something about the way we grew up, but I feel like if it ain't broke, don't fix it,' she continued. The couple also agrees that they don't want to have children together, Bibb said, noting that she never developed a desire to become a mother. "I just don't have that chip in me." The actors still keep the spark alive after nearly two decades together by putting their relationship first. "You have to constantly choose the relationship. We've been together for 18 years … it's a long time but I do think it gets better," Bibb shared. "Like the intimacy of a relationship is sexy to me. You can all have the hot sex in the beginning, but you gotta reinvent."

Later on in the episode, Rockwell joined Bibb and Bush Hager on stage. He gave the women bouquets before sitting down and sharing his first impressions of Bibb, whom he met at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles in 2007. 'We had that kind of thunderbolt, like 'Dream Weaver' moment in Wayne's World when we saw each other,' Rockwell gushed. 'I found out that she studied in the same acting school that I did, so that was really handy.' He recognized Bibb from her character Carley Bobby in the 2006 comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Meanwhile, Bibb thought Rockwell was "really cute" but tried to play it cool by pretending she had no idea who he was. Their eventual first day date went so well that it extended later into the evening, which caused Rockwell to cancel his nighttime date that he had scheduled with someone else. "It's good, you were single, you were ready to mingle,' Bibb told Rockwell. 'And then I just put my little claws in you, I put my talons in and I said, 'No, you're mine.' " 'And they're still in,' Rockwell added. Back in September 2022, Rockwell told The Standard his reasoning for why he and Bibb have never wed. "[We're] basically married. She's in my will. I feel like we are married. We live like a married couple," he said, adding that they don't want kids because they "just like it the way it is." Read the original article on People

‘Today's Jenna Bush Hager Gives Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey Permission To 'Kiss Me On The Lips Whenever They Want' After Their Red Carpet 'Smooch'
Jenna Bush Hager made a spicy statement on Today With Jenna & Friends after seeing her former guest host Scarlett Johansson share a 'smooch' with Jonathan Bailey on the Jurassic World Rebirth red carpet. Bush Hager and comedian Michelle Buteau, who was guest hosting the show Wednesday (June 18) morning, watched the footage of the actors' kiss in slow motion. 'Those are two very good looking people right in there,' Bush Hager commented. But Buteau was a bit confused by the spectacle. 'I have friends… We don't do that. Maybe that's like some famous people stuff?' she told Bush Hager, who laughed in response. 'It's a little nasty, it's a little sexy, it's a little wild. Is that what famous people do?' Bush Hager couldn't answer Buteau's question, but she did make an offer to Johansson and Bailey ahead of their upcoming appearance on Today With Jenna & Friends. 'I feel like Jonathan Bailey or Scarlett Johansson can kiss me on the lips whenever they want,' Bush Hager stated. Even Buteau appeared shocked! 'Okay, we'll make that happen,' she said. Bush Hager appeared as if she wanted to take back that statement as she said, 'They're gonna be here next week. I'm now a little…' Buteau joked that the Today host was feeling bolder after getting her hair cut live on television earlier this week. 'One bob cut and we can't keep her contained!' Buteau joked. 'I would love to see that.' It's no secret that Bush Hager is a fan of Johansson. Johansson was one of the first guest hosts to join Bush Hager on Today With Jenna & Friends after Hoda Kotb's exit. The actress seemed to enjoy her short stint in daytime television and even told Bush Hager this was her 'favorite job' she's 'ever had.' 'I have to say this really fills my cup. I absolutely have to come back if you'll have me,' she told Bush Hager at the time. Now, it looks like Johansson will finally be back on Today to promote her upcoming blockbuster film. Here's to hoping she will be able to guest host Today With Jenna & Friends again! Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
