The Project: Lisa Wilkinson and Waleed Aly left stunned by Tommy Little’s raunchy joke

Lisa Wilkinson and Waleed Aly were left lost for words when an X-rated quip somehow made its way into a very tame segment.

Tommy Little has struck again.

The Project panel was left stunned on Thursday night when the comedian, who is notorious for slipping X-rated jokes into segments, managed to make a rather cheeky quip about the Titanic that left Lisa Wilkinson and Waleed Aly lost for words.

Little was tasked with explaining that a man’s quote about not being “fully ready for just how large it was” was actually about the Titanic — and you can probably guess where this is going.

“You guys thought it was something dirty but it was just the Titanic,” Little said. “You thought it was just — I guess both involve seamen.”

Little’s joke drew hilarious reactions from the rest of The Project panel, with Rachel Corbett letting out a loud sigh and covering her face.

Meanwhile, Wilkinson and Aly all of sudden look a lot like my parents:

Especially when they know what their kid has said is funny, but they really shouldn’t laugh.

While Corbett was just the embarrassed sister watching it all unfold.

As Aly broke down into laughter, Wilkinson decided to move the segment along, saying: “We’re coming back after the break — we hope!”

“Are you sure?” Corbett added.

In June, Little left Wilkinson speechless while talking about what had happened when he decided to go on a naked bike ride through London.

“How’s this for shattering? I was still quite cold but I thought, bugger it, I will get nude. Then one woman, she was heckling from the side, yelled ‘He’s a grower, not a shower!’” Little said.

Even Little seemed a little surprised that he'd managed to sneak that joke in.

“I’m not quite sure what that means,” Wilkinson said as they wrapped up the segment.

“I think it means I’ve got a small c**k, Lis,” Little replied.

Red-faced and speechless, Wilkinson covered her faced with her hands and declared: “I’m done.”

“How good’s live TV? I know Tommy Little well, WHY did I do that? Next time, stop me before I kill again!”

Wilkinson later revealed she had no clue what Little had been talking about and her daughter Billi FitzSimons had to explained what the, ahem, expression referred to.

I seriously had NO IDEA what that meant... My own daughter has set me straight though. Thanks @BilliFitzSimons I think.
