Karl Stefanovic takes a break from morning breakfast to work normal job on a Saturday

When you think of this star you might think glitz and glam but he was seen working a very normal job over the weekend.

You can’t say that Karl Stefanovic isn’t prepared to work for his family, The Today Show host was spotted at the Easter Show selling his brother Tom’s almond milk.

The Noosa frequent flyer, along with his brother Peter Stefanovic, was seen putting his presenting skills to good use and chatting with customers at The Royal Easter Show.

The 50-year-old was holding a small platter filled with almond milk samples, and he wasn’t even relying on his celebrity factor to sell the product.

Karl was seen palming off compliments and waxing lyrical about almond milk.

In a clip shared online by the almond milk brand Mandolé Orchard, Stefanovic can be seen telling customers that the milk is “smooth,” and he even compares it to Nutella.

The Today Show host did seem genuinely stumped when a customer asked if the milk was gluten-free.

“Yes,” Karl replied.

Then, thought for a second, turned to someone off camera and asked, “Are these gluten-free?”

In general, all almond milk is gluten-free, but Karl has certainly never claimed to be a milk expert. After all, Sunrise has the whole Cash Cow gag.

Karl and Peter also decided to match the occasion and wore cream chinos and green button-ups as they embraced hospitality work.

Karl’s youngest brother, Tom, has stayed out of the spotlight, but he used to be a cameraman and is married to former fashion publicist Jenna Dinicola.

He quit his job to run an almond farm in Griffith, and the pair started the almond milk brand together and it has taken-off.

“I used to be a cameraman and now I milk almond nipples for a living,” Tom toldThe Daily Telegraph in 2021.

“It’s funny where life takes you.”

The almond milk brand claims to be “healthy, sustainable, and delicious” and was awarded Champion Plant-Based Product at the 2024 Sydney Royal Fine Food Show.

The almond milk brand is back this year and is made fresh every week on a family fame created with a blend of activated almonds and almond butter.

Despite the brand’s clear success, Karl was prepared to roll up his sleeves and help things along, as was Peter.

Both were all smiles as they braved the crowds to spruik their brother’s brand.

Peter Stefanovic posted on his social media and told Aussies to “come on down” to the almond milks stand at The Easter Show.
