Today host Karl Stefanovic loses it as NRL player accidentally shows penis on live TV

Viewers who woke up with Today this morning were presented with chaotic scenes as an NRL star accidentally showed his modesty on live TV.

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.”
